The Wait is Over. The New Mineralocity is Live.
We promised you a more powerful way to visualize the market, and today, we are proud to deliver it.
The major update we announced last month is officially live. You can log in right now to experience the new interface, designed to streamline how you find customers and analyze data.
What You’ll See When You Log In:
Based on your feedback, we have split the platform into two specialized engines under one subscription:
- REACH (For Suppliers): Your dedicated sales pipeline. We’ve refined the interface to help you find, qualify, and contact new mining clients faster than ever.
- CORE (For Producers): A brand-new market intelligence platform. Access Dodge Construction Data, supply & demand models, and critical map layers to visualize the entire market.
New Feature Spotlight: The Business Plan
Do you have a team? Are you looking for deeper due diligence?
With this update, we have launched the Business Plan. This tier is designed for teams of up to 5 users and now includes our proprietary PASS Report (Preliminary Assessment of Site Suitability).
- Why it matters: A PASS Report gives you a “go/no-go” framework on market potential and technical feasibility before you spend millions on a site.
- The Value: Previously sold separately as a high-ticket consulting deliverable, this report is now included directly in your Business subscription.
Are You Ready for the “Demographic Cliff”?
(Burgex Article)
The Quick Take: Our partners at Burgex Mining Consultants just released a critical look at commodity demand over the next decade. The big takeaway? We are moving from a market driven by population growth to one driven by policy and technology.
Here is your 60-second recap of Commodity Demand in the Next Decade:
1. The “Demographic Headwind” is Coming Post-2030, the biggest challenge won’t be finding rock—it will be finding new buyers. As the Baby Boomer generation ages and fertility rates drop, the traditional driver of aggregate demand (new residential housing) will face a structural decline.
2. The Shift: Maintenance > Expansion Demand is shifting from “new build” to “repair and resilience.”
- For Aggregates: The winners won’t be the massive pits relying on sprawl. The winners will be strategically located quarries near established growth corridors that can service grid hardening, water systems, and infrastructure repair.
- For Metals: Copper and silver are decoupling from general economic growth. Their demand is now locked in by non-negotiable policy deadlines (grid upgrades) and tech imperatives (AI data centers and solar).
3. Three Key Timelines to Watch:
- 2025–2026 (The Policy Window): Demand is propped up by fixed public funding (like the IIJA). This is the time to lock in contracts for infrastructure and grid-related projects.
- 2027–2030 (The Transition): The “easy” growth ends. Projects will live or die based on their proximity to rail/barge logistics and their ability to supply specific, high-quality specs for specialized construction.
- 2030+ (The New Normal): Success depends on “Sovereign Premiums”—producing strategic materials (like rare earths or battery metals) within stable jurisdictions, as global supply chains continue to fragment.
The Bottom Line for Producers: Volume is no longer the only metric. In the next decade, location and logistics will outperform sheer reserve size.
