Hope you are fine, If you do not Mind kindly tell me whether these two companies in diamond minning are direct competitors or not and of same nature.
1. Mountain province Diamond.
2. Stornoway diamond cooperation.
All they competitorsDecember 18, 2018 at 8:30 pm #492242Please bear in mind that I am not an expert in the field of mining!
I can only gather information about these 2 companies from online searches (probably the same as you!?)
Stornaway has probably not been fully operational for 3 years as the first production was mid July 2016 so you won’t have 3 years of financial statements.
The Mountain Province website does not seem to be working properly so I couldn’t establish what is available in terms of company information, although it has been going for a number of years.
Perhaps you may have better luck if you looked at the Australian mining sector?
Sorry I cannot be of much help. However I really don’t understand why students slavishly go for Topic 8 – my personal opinion is that it is a very dull topic! The current sectors are not inspirational although mining is potentially probably the best of a bad bunch

Do you think SpecSavers and Vision Express fall in the healthcare provider industry?
January 4, 2019 at 6:19 pm #500009Well the explanation for Healthcare Providers is as follows:
“4533 Health Care Providers
Owners and operators of health maintenance organizations, hospitals, clinics, dentists, opticians, nursing homes, rehabilitation and retirement centres. Excludes veterinary services, which are classified under Specialized Consumer Services”So as SpecSavers and Vision Express are both opticians you should be fine with that selection 🙂
January 6, 2019 at 6:01 pm #500202Hi @trephena would the industries for topic 8 & 15 for the Period 39 change or there is a chance it would stay the same. I am not aware of how it works for the industries in these topics also I am interested in appearing the P39.
January 7, 2019 at 12:50 pm #500272The industry sectors set out above were fixed for Periods 37 and 38. Normally the industries would be expected to change for Periods 39 & 40 (in line with the revision in the Information Pack which is made every June/July). Obviously I cannot make a definite statement about this as OBU decides. However I think there is a greater chance that the industry sectors for Topics 8 & 15 will be changed for Period 39 than there is for them remaining the same and therefore the industry sectors are unlikely to be those above.
January 29, 2019 at 3:36 am #503535Please house, I want to understand this fact. Does mobile phones, televisions and home theater count as an electronic product for this research purpose?
March 6, 2019 at 10:22 pm #508165Hi, I have been struggling with the industries supplied.
How did everyone get on in the previous sitting?
Thanks
March 7, 2019 at 8:29 pm #508429Results aren’t out until later this month.
March 17, 2019 at 6:10 am #509516Hi, I’m working with healthcare providers, I have an issue with comparator, should the comparator company be based in the same country as the main company, I have picked 2 companies, but the are in different countries though listed on the same stock exchange market
March 18, 2019 at 1:10 pm #509623Hi, I’m working with healthcare providers, I have an issue with comparator, should the comparator company be based in the same country as the main company, I have picked 2 companies, but the are in different countries though listed on the same stock exchange market
March 19, 2019 at 8:10 am #509673Not an issue normally provided you explain in the Limitations section that they operate in different countries – but point out that they are on the same stock exchange.
Remember you should not do currency conversion as ratios eliminate the need (something again you could comment on) as currency conversion artificially introduces a factor that may not have anything to do with the management and is it would be dependent on the method you chose to convert. However you will not be able to compare straight revenues because of this but focus more on year on year % increases / decreases when discussing this particular aspect. Most other ratios including dividend per share would be unaffected.
March 20, 2019 at 7:57 pm #509876Ok. Thank you so much
April 30, 2019 at 12:45 pm #514592I have selected a Gold mining company. In the Industry information section i need to provide the top 3 to 5 company’s revenue to provide idea about this industry.
However on google i am unable to find “top Gold mining companies”
Rather “top mining companies” are available instead.Will it be ok to show revenue of mining companies instead of gold mining companies
