Prospector is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Analog, a mining investment company.

Peter Voldness is the Chairman of the Board and CEO of VTM Capital Management, Inc. and the Managing Partner of Novis Partners, LLC Capital Markets Advisory. Mr. Voldness was the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Emergent Financial Group, Inc., an investment banking firm, since 1999. Prior to the founding of Emergent, Mr. Voldness was employed in various positions in the investment banking industry going back to 1978.

In an uncertain economy with growing political risk, Analog combines highly attractive investment attributes, years of experience in the finance sector, and a high growth technology product. The company’s portfolio currently includes two, near-production gold properties in Mexico – Tres Oros and San Fernando – and the technology platform Prospector, an AI-powered search engine designed for the mining sector.

Prospector offers a Service-as-a-Software (SaaS) platform that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to provide a user-friendly way to access and analyze information. Prospector draws information from public exchanges and recently announced a collaboration with the leading global mining finance exchange, TMX Datalinx, which operates the Toronto Stock Exchange and represents 48% of publicly traded mining projects globally.

Prospector Founder and CEO, Emily King, will shift to become Analog Gold’s Chief Innovation Officer while continuing to lead day-to-day operations of Prospector. “I am thrilled with the opportunity to work with Analog Gold,” said King. “This is a truly unique opportunity to combine revolutionary technology with more traditional, proven mining practices.”
