A structured framework
for mining intelligence.

Miner Alpha Lab turns weekly leadership rankings into a systematic research process: detect emerging leaders, confirm persistent leadership, and track structural deterioration.

01

Detect Early Leadership

Acceleration in the rankings before the market notices. Systematic, not intuitive.

02

Confirm Persistent Leaders

Persistence across weeks is the signal. Not a spike. Not a narrative.

03

Monitor Exit Risk

Deterioration appears in the data before price confirms it. Exit discipline is part of the edge.

One composite output.

RANK_FINAL is not a simple return ranking. It integrates relative strength, structural positioning, behavioral classification, and movement quality — simultaneously — to surface leadership before it becomes obvious.

Behavioral Classification (advanced_type)
alpha
Structural Leadership
The cleanest form of market leadership. Strong RS, solid structure, behavioral consistency. Sustainable outperformers — highest conviction classification.
alpha_fast
Accelerating Momentum
Strong and rapid price appreciation. Typical of early or accelerating market phases. High potential — but require active monitoring.
early_trend
Emerging Leadership
Beginning to transition into strength. Ideal for early positioning before moves become widely recognized. Highest potential, least confirmed.
rebound
Technical Recovery
Recovering from significant drawdowns. Technical in nature. May grade well in Breakouts — but without structural leadership backing, not an institutional opportunity.
The Convergence Rule — Maximum Conviction
🏆
Leaders
RANK_FINAL in the Top 15. Structural dominance confirmed across all composite dimensions.
Breakouts
A+ grade · RR > 2.5 · alpha or alpha_fast type · High conviction. Setup quality is exceptional.
📊
Historical
Sustained Top-10 across 3+ consecutive snapshots. Institutional accumulation in progress.
When all three align simultaneously
Highest conviction setup in the universe at that moment.

The highest quality return.

Most platforms show you charts.
We map internal structure.

Price is the last thing to move. Leadership, breadth, regime, and capital rotation shift first — and they do so systematically, measurably, and repeatedly across mining cycles. That is what the platform is built to detect.

01 · Relative Leadership

Who is leading — and by how much

RANK_FINAL integrates relative strength, benchmark outperformance, structural positioning, and behavioral consistency into a single composite score. Not a price chart. A structural map of who is outperforming the universe at any given moment — and why it persists.

02 · Breadth Analysis

How many are participating

A rising index with narrow leadership is structurally fragile. Broad LEADER-regime expansion across families indicates genuine accumulation. Breadth contraction — even with prices rising — signals distribution. The platform tracks both at family and universe level, weekly.

03 · Regime Detection

What phase the market is in

Each stock is classified weekly into LEADER · STRONG · NEUTRAL · WEAK · LAGGARD. This is not a label — it is a structural state derived from composite ranking, trend positioning, and excess return behavior. Regime transitions are the first observable signal of market phase change.

04 · Leadership Persistence

How long strength sustains

A spike in ranking has low information value. Sustained leadership — across 3, 4, 8 consecutive weeks — is the structural signal. The platform tracks consecutive weeks in the top tier, persistence scores, and departure risk simultaneously. Persistence is the edge.

05 · Capital Rotation

Where money is moving between families

Capital does not flow uniformly across Gold, Silver, Copper, Uranium, Lithium, and Energy simultaneously. The Capital Rotation Intelligence (CRI) module tracks relative strength shifts between the 10 mining families — detecting which sectors are gaining structural momentum and which are losing it, before the moves become visible in price.

06 · Mining Beta Structure

The unique dynamics of the mining universe

Mining equities exhibit extreme beta, cyclical compression, and structural dispersion not present in general equity markets. The ranking system is built specifically for this universe: high volatility, low liquidity, commodity-linked, geopolitically exposed. Standard analytical frameworks miss these dynamics. This one doesn't.

Why this matters

Most research services tell you what happened. Miner Alpha Lab tells you what is changing — in the internal structure of the mining market, before it becomes obvious in price.

Mining Structure Brief.
Published every week.

A systematic review of internal market structure across the mining equity universe — leadership transitions, regime shifts, breadth readings, and capital rotation patterns. Institutional-grade research, independent of narrative.

Leadership Monitor

Which assets are entering or exiting the top-tier leadership zone. New entrants, sustained leaders, and early deterioration signals.

Regime Transitions

LEADER → STRONG → NEUTRAL → WEAK regime reclassifications across all 10 asset families. Where structural momentum is building or fading.

Breadth Analysis

Internal breadth across the 1,300+ asset universe: expansion or contraction, distribution vs. accumulation dynamics, and sector divergence readings.

Capital Rotation

Which families are gaining or losing relative strength. Cross-family momentum flows, rotation acceleration, and structural positioning shifts between XAU, Copper, Uranium, and Lithium.

Private Research Edition
