Formal endorsement, support, participation and access to industry through the NSW Minerals Council, Queensland Resources Council, Mining & Energy Union, government, mine representatives and mine suppliers is cemented through close working relationships.

Our overall goal is to be a compelling, engaging and comprehensive voice for our local mining industry and the communities we represent.

You will find us on site, in town at your local pub or shop, and of course, at all the mining suppliers that keep our industry ticking.

@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.

Grahame Kelly General Secretary, Mining and Energy Union

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.

Stephen Galilee CEO, NSW Minerals Council

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.

Sam Gannon Managing Director, SOLVD Agency

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.

Kim Walters Communications and Engagement Officer, RACQ Capricorn Helicopter Rescue Service

@ 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.
