To complement InfoMine’s world leading mineral property database, we have just launched a new Property Exchange. The Exchange is designed to fulfill the need for a global service that can bring buyers and sellers of mineral properties together.

Through a user-friendly online interface, property sellers can create and edit property listings using text and pictures. Buyers can browse hundreds of available properties for sale, option or joint venture, based on commodity, deposit type and geographical area.
