Problem
Landore Resources is an AIM-quoted mineral exploration company developing its flagship BAM Gold Project in Ontario, Canada, alongside a portfolio of nickel and base metal assets. Exploration companies face a particular IR challenge: the investment case evolves slowly, with news flow that is often technical and episodic — and with much of the register held in nominee accounts, the team historically had very little visibility into who was actually behind them.
Solution
InvestorHub lets Landore maintain a consistent, accessible presence between drilling updates. Media updates keep the community informed without waiting for an RNS, presentations and technical reports sit together in one well-structured hub, and nominee see-through plus audience tools give the team a clear picture of who its investors are and how engaged they are.
Impact
Landore can now get behind most of the nominee accounts to see the beneficial owners, who has been buying and selling, and who its larger shareholders are. As investors sign up to the hub the team builds a clearer picture of who they are and how engaged they are — which parts of the story resonate most, and whether the most engaged shareholders are being reached when something significant happens. For a small team, that visibility is crucial in deciding where to put communications effort.
InvestorHub serves as a central location for our shareholders and provides them with an easy and quick communication platform to engage directly with the company.
How they did it

Exploration companies can go through quiet periods between drilling updates. How do you stay front of mind with investors during those times?
It's one of the central challenges of IR at our stage, and it's something InvestorHub has genuinely helped with. The media updates function means we don't have to wait for an RNS to communicate. We can publish a summary of ongoing geological work, share a site photograph, post a link to an analyst note — content that keeps the community informed and engaged without crossing into regulatory territory. The Hub has also helped us consolidate everything investors need in one place. Presentations, annual reports, site and technical reports — rather than investors having to go digging through a corporate website, it's all accessible in a well-structured hub.

You have a significant retail shareholder base. Has InvestorHub helped you understand who those investors actually are?
A lot of our shares are held in nominee accounts, so historically we had very little visibility into who was actually sitting behind them. We knew we had a loyal retail following, but we couldn't easily distinguish between someone who's been with us for years and is highly engaged versus someone who bought shares once and hasn't thought about us since. InvestorHub has changed that. We can now get behind most of the nominee accounts to see the beneficial owner, who has been buying and selling and who our larger shareholders are. As investors sign up to the Hub, we start to build a clearer picture of who they are and how engaged they are — who's opening announcements, who's asking questions, who keeps coming back. It's not a complete answer to the nominee problem, but it gives us a genuinely useful proxy for engagement that we simply didn't have before. That has practical implications for how we communicate. We can see which parts of our story resonate most and, increasingly, have a sense of whether our most engaged shareholders are being reached when something significant happens.

How do you manage the audience side of things?
The audience tools have given us a much clearer picture of who our investor base actually is. We can see which announcements generate the most engagement, which pages investors spend time on, and which segments of our audience are most active. For a small team, that kind of visibility is crucial in deciding where to put our communications effort.
