• Stockhouse: Canadian small-cap and junior mining investor community and news platform. Direct peer in the Canadian small-cap/junior resource investor niche with overlapping audience and editorial coverage.
• Benzinga: Financial news, real-time data and education platform for retail and active traders. Comparable as a multi-channel financial media brand (newsletter, video, education) targeting active retail investors.
