A single view of the junior mining sector: metals prices, market breadth, the day's biggest movers, financing activity and news volume — free to use, no account required.
Junior mining is a sentiment-driven sector. Individual companies rise and fall on their own results, but the tide underneath them — whether capital is flowing in, whether metals are strong, whether anyone is paying attention — determines most of what happens to most of them in any given month.
That tide is normally assembled by hand from half a dozen sources: a metals price site, an exchange screener, a news feed, somewhere to see financings. This dashboard puts them in one place and refreshes automatically.
It is one of the two tools available without an account, deliberately, because it is the orientation layer. Everything else on the platform is easier to use once you know what the sector is doing.
Metals prices set the backdrop. Junior valuations key off the underlying commodity with a lag, and a sustained move in the metal usually shows up in the explorers well after it shows up in the producers.
Market breadth — how many companies rose versus fell — is the most useful single number here. A day where the metal is up but breadth is negative describes a sector where money is concentrating in a few names rather than lifting everything, which is a very different market from a broad rally.
Top movers are usually reacting to something specific. A name at the top of the list is worth checking against its news, and if there is none, against the Unusual Activity Detector.
Financing activity indicates whether the capital window is open. It is the slowest of these signals to move and the most consequential when it does.
News volume tracks how much the sector is communicating. Sustained high volume usually accompanies drilling season and rising interest.
Metals prices are scraped on a schedule, company prices and volumes come from exchange market data updated after each close, and financing and news figures are computed from the same records that drive the rest of the platform. The dashboard refreshes itself every five minutes.
Yes. It is one of two tools available without an account, alongside the Resource Grade Ranker, because it is the orientation layer that makes the rest of the platform easier to use.
Whether a move is broad or narrow. If the metal is up and most companies are up with it, capital is flowing into the sector generally. If the metal is up while more companies fall than rise, money is concentrating into a handful of favoured names — a much less healthy market, and one where index-level optimism does not reach most holdings.
Because percentage moves scale inversely with share price. On a two-cent stock a single cent is a 50% gain, so the top of any percentage-ranked list is dominated by the smallest and thinnest listings, often on trivial dollar volume. Check the absolute turnover before reading anything into it.
The dashboard refreshes every five minutes. Metals prices are scraped on a schedule through the day; company prices and volumes are end-of-day rather than intraday, so the movers list reflects the last completed session.
