who we are

@ The Coalface is a free industry and community magazine published in separate NSW and Queensland editions.

We cover mining news and issues alongside stories about the people, workplaces, businesses and communities connected to the industry. We also cover health, safety, community, sport, travel and the issues affecting the regions where mining operates.

Our NSW edition has been part of mining communities for more than a decade, with our Queensland edition launched in 2022. Together, 30,000 free magazines are distributed every month, supported by our website, newsletter, social media and podcast.

@The Coalface Endorsements

@ The Coalface does a wonderful job telling the stories of the people and regions who sustain our coal industry. Workers can read @ The Coalface at their mine site or in local shops and cafes. It’s a great way for us to share information about what’s happening in the industry.
Since its inception a decade ago, @ The Coalface has become the 'go-to' publication for all the latest news on coal mining, coal miners, and coal communities in the Hunter and beyond.
SOLVD Agency works with the @ The Coalface team to share stories and marketing campaign messages for clients wishing to reach people working in the mining sector and living and working in mining communities. We choose @ The Coalface as part of our PR, media and advertising plans for those clients because we know the quality printed magazine is reliably distributed, well received and well read by local people and businesses connected to mining.
RACQ CapRescue is grateful to @ The Coalface for the ongoing support we receive. Your generosity in providing advertising space and a voice for nonprofit organisations like ours is invaluable. This community-focused publication helps our lifesaving service continue our mission to make a real difference in the lives of Central Queenslanders.
@ The Coalface have been unbelievable supporters of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter for over 10 years, through positive media stories, to advertising our events to raise vital funds to support our endeavours. Their wider relationship with the mining industry, and how they support the positive messages, is really quite outstanding. I cannot speak more highly of the team, and the relationship continues to grow for mutual benefit.
@ The Coalface is a must-read for anyone with an interest in the resources sector, particularly the coal industry. Each edition carries a wide variety of articles covering the issues, events and people that contribute to Queensland’s biggest export industry. Whether it’s in the Crib Room or the Boardroom, you’ll find someone talking about an article in the latest issue of Coalface. The Queensland Resources Council is a proud monthly contributor to Coalface and highly recommends the magazine to anyone who wants to make sure they’re up to date with what’s happening in our industry.
