Web-based resource offers regular evaluations, opinions of junior mining company press releases and projects
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Dec. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — showtheplanet inc. today officially launched geologyforinvestors.com, a web-based resource offering evaluations, opinion and education on junior mining and resource sector investments.
The site offers regular evaluations and opinion of junior mining company press releases and projects, reviewing data presented by real companies on current exploration and mining projects.
"Every day dozens of companies publish news releases outlining the results of various exploration activities like drill results, sampling programs and geophysical surveys. While the headlines may tell one story, the real news is often buried in the technical data and geologic interpretations that accompany the news," says showtheplanet inc. president, Christopher Rawluk. "Since many resource investors don't understand the technical content, they just gloss over it and take the flashy headlines as good news. We're hoping to change that. We want to help mining company investors make their own evaluation of whether a company is worth their attention."
The website launch comes after several months of live testing and feedback from users.
"Our early users have helped us adapt our approach and our content to provide what we believe is a truly useful tool for junior mining company investors. Anyone who has followed junior mining companies knows that it's easy to get burned and many of the current online resources are solely geared towards promoting specific companies or interests. That's a common complaint among investors," says Rawluk. "Rather than endorse specific companies or projects, we dissect the daily news in a way that teaches our users how to make their own investment decisions."
With so many releases to choose from, Geology For Investors draws on popular interest in selecting their coverage. "Often we'll choose a company that's doing something interesting or offers some learning opportunities for our readers. Our readers also offer suggestions, such as companies they are following. By being selective in the mining companies or projects reviewed, we can insure the information we provide is timely, relevant and in demand. Investors apply what they've learned from our site to their own research," says Rawluk.
In addition to evaluations of company news, geologyforinvestors.com provides free knowledge-based articles on exploration geology and geological methods that have been written with the non-professional in mind. Readers can learn the basics of geological exploration, drilling, key commodities and mining. They can familiarize themselves with various mineral deposit types and important discoveries.
Since the content is very much user driven, social media plays an important role in the Geology For Investors communications strategy. Users can subscribe to daily updates through their favorite social media sites and communicate directly with the editors. A free weekly email newsletter is also available.
