S&P Cap IQ Pro Excel Add-in & Online Screener Tips: S&P Cap IQ Pro Office is required to refresh our pre-built excel models -download details & link found here. The online Screener does not require any additional download.	Rank mining projects by asset-level capital expenditures and other economic indicators, such as net present value and internal rate of return in the Development Studies section of the M&M Properties data set. Benchmark mine performance by reviewing operating metrics to determine the quality of your producing assets in the Mine Economics section of the M&M Properties data set. Assess the financial position of a mining company and pull in relevant corporate data on its people and market share information in the Companies data set.
Excel Model Library	Create a detailed asset summary for up to 5000 properties, including commodity, reserves, resources and production with Project Summary and Company Exposure Export template. Built-in pivots show geographic exposure by country. Mines are grouped into 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th percentiles by ranking commodity production costs in the Mine Economics Base & Precious Metals Percentiles template.
Mapping	Run a proximity analysis to locate assets within a given distance from your holdings to help identify potential acquisitions, buyers or joint-venture partners. Set spatial criteria specific for Metals & Mining assets to stay on top of activities within a region not defined by standard borders.
Property Profiles Tips: Use the S&P Cap IQ Pro’s top search bar to search for an asset by name. As asset names are often repeated, use the advanced search for a more robust search.	Evaluate an asset’s potential with total in-situ value of reserves and resources, and compare to similar assets taking into account asset-level details such as ore tonnage, commodity grades and contained metal content. Quickly pull current and historical asset holdings for a mining company, including equity and controlling ownership details, royalties and streaming agreements.
Research Library	Leverage company, regional and commodity exploration budgets to help develop future spending strategies in the Metals & Mining sector. Gain insight on the current supply and demand balance, as well as projections by our research analysts to assess the long term health of copper, iron ore, zinc and nickel markets with our Commodity Briefing Service report.
News & Alerts If users have a commodity/regional focus, editing alerts is a quick way to make the S&P Cap IQ Pro more relevant! We have short training videos to edit alerts for news, research articles, and assets.	Read weekly briefs to get a recap of commodity price movements, financing announcements, M&A activity and other developments in the commodities market. Stay on top of market activity with real-time news alerts for portfolios, peer companies, industry conferences or assets of interest.
Commodity Pricing	Leverage daily spot prices, future contracts and consensus estimates to help determine a current sale price for metal produced, as well as negotiate streaming and/or offtake agreements for future production.
