A Mining & Energy project

What this is, and why I'm building it.

Insights is an analytics layer on the companies moving Canada's resource sector. Built for the investors and executives who need to know about every capital raise, exec change, and operational update the moment it happens. Powered by the same ingester behind miningandenergy.ca, with a Claude-trained classifier and a hybrid search index on top.

The problem

Canadian business news is a firehose of press releases, and nobody has time to read it.

Sedar, the TSX feed, CNW, GlobeNewswire, ACCESS Newswire. Together they push thousands of items a week, most of them low-signal: routine drill results, AGM notices, broker-list updates. Buried in there are the things you actually care about: a $5M private placement, a new CEO, a PR firm getting hired before a launch.

Reading them all is the only way to be sure you don't miss the ones that matter. Reading them all is what nobody's doing.

What this does

A classifier reads every release within minutes of publication.

Every item that comes in through the Mining & Energy ingester is fed to Claude Haiku with a locked taxonomy of eight event types. Each release gets tagged with the primary event, any secondary events, the sector, the company, ticker, and a one-sentence summary.

The taxonomy

capital_raise · financing, placement, IPO, debt facility
m_and_a · acquisition, merger, JV, takeover bid
exec_change · appointments, board changes
agency_hire · PR/IR firm engaged
product_launch · new product, facility, service
operational · drill results, production update
regulatory · permits, approvals, filings
other · catch-all so nothing is dropped

Search runs on a hybrid index, keyword plus semantic. Type "raising a round" and it finds "closed a $5M private placement". Type a ticker, get every event we've seen on that company.

Why I'm building it

I built Mining & Energy because I needed to read this stuff for my own work.

The open feed at miningandenergy.ca does the curation half. It pulls every Canadian company release, hosts the archive, makes it browsable. That's free and stays free.

Insights is the analytical half. The part you only need if you're using this for decisions: hybrid search, classified events, company profiles, watches that email you when there's a match. That's what's worth paying for, because the model usage isn't free and the watch infrastructure isn't either.

The goal is the same as it's always been: save people the hours of reading, deliver the signal in one email a day.

A few honest notes

  • The classifier is good, not perfect. Every item carries a confidence score. Low-confidence ones are flagged, not hidden.
  • This is not investment advice. It's a research tool. You still have to read the actual filings before acting on them.
  • Coverage is Canadian-first. Global events show up when a Canadian company is involved.
  • If a company is missing, tell me. There's a suggest-a-company form. Submissions get reviewed by hand and usually go live within a day.

Try the search.

The fastest way to see whether this is useful for you is to type the thing you're actually looking for and see what comes back.
