1) Wealth of Market Knowledge: The robust Mineralocity Aggregates platform provides clients with a vast range of market intelligence and knowledge, granting them access to insights that may not otherwise be available within their organization.

While it doesn’t provide all the answers, it excels at identifying specific areas and regions suitable for new pit/quarry development, proving invaluable to any producers looking to expand. 

3) Strategic Planning: With features such as drivetime analysis and the ability to visualize competitors, markets, and transportation, Mineralocity Aggregates empowers producers to enhance strategic planning for existing operations. The platform enables producers to better utilize their operations and position themselves more competitively. 

4) Risk Mitigation: Mining comes with inherent risks. Mineralocity Aggregates helps alleviate some of these by providing the ability to assess both current and future markets. This enables producers to prepare for future demand changes and adjust production strategies accordingly. 

5) Identifying Trends and Market Opportunities: Many producers lack comprehensive market data outside of their local area, obscuring potential regional opportunities. Even a single quarry operation can use Mineralocity Aggregates to uncover opportunities for their products that might otherwise remain hidden. Most operators still rely on spreadsheets or even paper notebooks to track local markets. Our tool significantly enhances their capabilities with full visualization and the ability to identify trends and opportunities at a glance. Regularly updated data adds further peace of mind, making our platform an advantageous investment even for smaller producers.

In summary, Mineralocity Aggregates empowers producers to make better decisions, maintain or gain a competitive edge, and reduce risks within their business.

Revolutionizing the U.S. Mining Industry with Comprehensive Visualization

June 2, 2023, marked a significant milestone in the U.S. mining industry as Burgex Inc. unveiled an innovative, game-changing platform – Mineralocity. Aiming to reshape the landscape of the industry, Mineralocity presents a comprehensive, verified, and visually searchable map of all commercial mines in the United States.

Developed in direct response to the growing national focus on the revitalization of infrastructure and the burgeoning green economy, Mineralocity delivers a level of detail and breadth of information unseen before in this space. This groundbreaking platform integrates an extensive dataset, including details about the locations, commodities, and production levels of all commercial mines across the nation.

Stuart Burgess, Chairman and Co-Founder of Burgex, expressed his excitement about the launch, saying, 

“This is a landmark moment. Mineralocity is the first platform to provide such an extensive, visually searchable map of all U.S. commercial mines. In an era where we are striving to advance our infrastructure and develop a greener economy, Mineralocity’s comprehensive resource will become an invaluable tool for making strategic, data-driven decisions and enhancing domestic supply chains. Up until now, there haven’t been any interactive maps available that accurately show all of the active commercial mines in the United States.”

Why Mineralocity?

The journey that led to Mineralocity started with its predecessor, Mineralocity Aggregates. Specifically designed for the construction aggregate industry, the platform saw substantial success in its field, prompting Burgex to think bigger. This strategic expansion led to the creation of the comprehensive Mineralocity platform, encompassing the entire U.S. mining industry and offering critical insights across a wide range of commodities. This decision paved the way for a more robust domestic supply chain, underpinning a broad array of businesses.

Mineralocity goes beyond being a mere data provider—it represents a new paradigm in industry research tools, designed to augment users’ research capabilities and catalyze superior decision-making processes. At its core, Mineralocity’s strength lies in the rich, multi-faceted data it offers.

Starting with the comprehensive mapping of over 100 different mineral commodity types, users have unprecedented visibility into the diversity of the mining landscape. This feature alone provides a powerful tool for anyone looking to find specific commodities, conduct comparative analysis, or identify emerging opportunities.

Complementing this, Mineralocity’s inclusion of general geology data serves as a key resource for understanding the geological contexts of mining sites. This insight into the geological makeup of the mining areas, from rock formations to soil types, could prove invaluable in numerous applications such as planning extraction methods or estimating extraction costs.

The platform’s nationwide parcel data further enriches its offerings by providing detailed information about land ownership and boundaries. This can prove instrumental in strategic planning, investment decisions, or even identifying potential partnership opportunities.

Mineralocity also integrates sophisticated tools like customized drive-time analysis, giving users the capability to understand the logistical implications of mine locations. Users can explore potential distribution routes, estimate transportation costs, and identify strategically advantageous locations for new operations or distribution centers.

In this rapidly evolving industry, staying ahead of trends is paramount. Mineralocity empowers its users to do just that. With a combination of these advanced features and continually updated data, users are armed with the knowledge and insights they need to anticipate industry changes, identify opportunities, and make data-driven decisions.

In a world where sustainability and local supply chains are increasingly essential, Mineralocity addresses these concerns head-on. By offering detailed, current data on domestic mining operations, the platform enables businesses to source materials more efficiently and sustainably. It also empowers suppliers to the mining industry to better position their sales teams, distribution centers, and other assets.
