About Resource Explorer

What we do

Resource Explorer is an analytics platform for the ASX exploration and small-cap resources sector. We extract every quarterly Appendix 5B filing, every ASX announcement, every Top-20 register snapshot, and every project-level disclosure into one searchable surface — and layer proprietary scores on top so you can compare hundreds of companies on the metrics that actually distinguish them.

We don’t replace your judgement. We remove the grunt work that gets in the way of using it.

Who it’s for

• Investors — sell-side analysts, buy-side fund managers, family offices, advisers, and serious retail investors. Find names that suit your style. Compare in seconds what would otherwise take an afternoon in spreadsheets.
• Corporates — find shells open for business, distressed runways, cum-raise candidates, and acquisition targets. Spot back-door listing opportunities before the broader market.
• Boards and management — benchmark your company against peers. How does your board compensation compare? Is your exploration spend in line with the cohort? Are you burning faster or slower than the pack?

How we got here

Appendix 5B data is the most consistent, structured view of the early-stage ASX resources sector — and yet no major data vendor indexes it. Bloomberg, Refinitiv, and IRESS don’t structure it: 5Bs are filed by a small subset of small companies in a small market, and the data doesn’t fit their schemas.

We built the pipeline to do it ourselves. Then we opened it up. Resource Explorer is the result — every Appendix 5B since 2010, cleansed, scored, and joined to the adjacent data that gives it context.
