Metals & Mining Equity Research
Institutional-Grade Coverage for Emerging Stories.
LAUNCHING - Q4 2026
Mattiks Research is a Vancouver-based issuer-paid equity research firm focusing on precious metal and critical mineral mining developers.
What the research delivers
No cheerleading. Sell-side institutional standards, applied below the coverage threshold of bank-funded research.
Coverage
What you receive.
- Comprehensive initiating coverage report including a rundown on the company, its operating assets and a fully transparent valuation.
- Ongoing coverage — notes published on news, valuation updates on material releases, and attendance on quarterly calls.
- Separate discussions of potential drivers and risks. This includes the upcoming milestones, the delivery risks to those milestones, and management's plan for each.
Method
How the numbers are built.
- Operating model based on company guidance with sensitivities on timeline, capex/opex, production and metal price.
- One published framework applied to every name, the same price deck and methodology, with discount rates set by disclosed criteria.
- Site visits on the asset and direct work with management with every company-specific input traced to disclosure or the source itself.
Independence
Why you can use it.
- No underwriting fee, no trading position, and no equity — held by the firm or personally — in any company we cover.
- Compensation for the research is fixed and fully disclosed. It is never paid in equity, with cash payment made in advance of the research period.
- Engagements are contracted for a fixed term. Coverage cannot be withdrawn in response to what we publish.

The analyst
David West, CFA
Every report published by Mattiks Research is written by David West and carries his name. He spent seven years as a sell-side mining analyst at a national investment bank, where he won two national Thomson Reuters StarMine awards, and three years as a vice president at a private equity group with $4.5 billion under management. He has worked in the industry for twenty-five years.
Mattiks was built to apply those same standards below the market-cap threshold where bank-funded coverage stops.
