International Mining is very proud and excited to announce our new Insight Series of video interviews conducted in collaboration with the major suppliers of mining technologies and innovations in our industry.

IM Editor, Paul Moore, in each case has interviewed a key manager or executive in person in numerous different locations worldwide, covering the latest industry developments. Already 12 interviews have been completed or are underway with four global mining technology companies, and negotiations are underway for many more. These are markedly different from the webinars and podcasts that have been carried out before, as IM has worked completely in partnership with the OEM or services provider to produce and formulate the content and flow of the final film.

The intention is that the interviews will coincide where possible with the relevant IM print and PDF issue; or in some cases with a special bylined article by the company concerned. Our first interview posted online is with FLSmidth VP Sales, Liam MacNamara, on the subject of Mine Tailings Management, and it ties in with our March issue Paste Supplement, which will be distributed at the Paste 2018 conference in Perth from April 11-13.

This kind of content has been available in other sectors for several years, including the construction press, but it is not something we believe has been done well in the mining press to date. We are committed to changing that, and giving mining publishing the digital content that we feel it has long been missing. Watch this space for multiple new interviews that will appear on our site in the coming weeks and months. Each will be advertised on Twitter, LinkedIn, im-mining.com and other media as they are available.
