Mining activity

is an important indicator of future supply, but mining companies only provide aggregated data on a quarterly basis, and with a significant time lag. In fact, supply is often the least transparent part of the market, particularly in jurisdictions where official statistics are lacking.

customized indices of supply that focus on the specific commodities and supply chains relevant to your business

Get insights
on the more opaque areas of the market, where official sources and market commentary are insufficient for fundamental analysis

changes in market fundamentals well ahead of official data releases

Technology

The Supply Tracker relies on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology to identify changes in a designated area in the period between two measurements. A change may signal a pit that became deeper, a stockpile that grew taller, a truck that drove away or a newly arrived shovel. A change index is calculated across the active area of the mine, thus providing a time series of mining activity.
