The Opaxe Index is a way of comparing drilling results from different projects and commodities. It is calculated by converting a drilling result for the most common commodity, or mix of commodities, into a Gold Equivalence value and multiplying the figure by the length of the intercept, i.e. the Opaxe Index is AuEq x m.

Currently the highest Opaxe Index we have calculated is 27,268 and belongs to Osisko Mining Inc.’s Windfall project located in Eeyou Istchee, James Bay, Québec, in Canada.

The price of Gold changes on a daily (well actually almost constant) basis. As at 12 April 2022 the Gold price was US$1957 per ounce or AU$2365 per ounce.
 
Since January 2017 the price of Gold has steadily risen from circa US$1320 per ounce to around US$1970 per ounce on 12 April 2022.

Yes, we collect and republish most announcements released by ASX listed mining companies. We also cover mining companies listed on the TSX/TSX-V, LSE, NYSE and 22 other stock exchanges world-wide.

No Opaxe is not free to use. Access to the my.opaxe app is via a subscription with prices starting at Au$10 per month. We have a range of four subscriptions so there is a plan to suit everyone. And if you are looking for a bespoke data set, or some specific analysis, we can handle that too. Just contact us at info@opaxe.com.

We extract and store the name of the CP/QP for every announcement that we republish, together with the company they work for and who accredited them. This data is available on the Opaxe website from where it is easily accessible. This information is great for companies looking for a CP/QP with the experience you might require for your next company report.

Opaxe does not have specific job vacancies, but it does have early-stage news from the majority of mining companies across the world. Stories like “10,000m drilling programme to start in the spring…”, and “field work is planned to commence shortly…” are excellent sources of business intelligence and leads.

Its hard to say what makes a mine the best of its type in the world. We have the details on more than 2,500 Gold Mines across the world and who can say exactly which one is the best? We wouldn’t try to pick a winner. But don’t take our word for it – join Opaxe, view all the available data and make your own decision.

Chile certainly has a huge amount of the world’s copper resources. But the most in the world – probably not. There is quite a lot of copper in Canada, and many Australian miners are finding and extracting a good chunk of copper. Use my.opaxe your self to download the latest deposit estimations for copper for projects in Chile, Canada and Australia and do your own comparison. Maybe Chile really does have most of it!
