What International mining industry does

International Mining (legally Team Publishing Ltd) is a privately held B2B trade media company serving the global mining industry. Founded around 2005 and headquartered in Berkhamsted, England, the company publishes a monthly technical magazine (International Mining / IM Magazine) in print and digital formats, operates the im-mining.com news and content website, distributes the IM Brief weekly e-newsletter, and produces on-demand webinars and expert interviews. Its primary audience is mining industry professionals (mine managers, engineers, metallurgists, procurement) and its primary revenue source is advertising sold to mining equipment OEMs, service consultancies, lubricant suppliers, and technology vendors across equipment, processing, electrification, and sustainability categories.

The company's product portfolio centres on a multi-format content engine: editorial articles and news on im-mining.com with an AI-powered search tool (IM AI) launched in 2024, the monthly magazine distributed via Joomag and post, a recurring webinar programme co-produced with technology partners (MineSense, Syensqo, ANDRITZ, SRK Consulting), and The Electric Mine conference series — an annual event rotating across major mining hubs (Toronto 2019, Tucson 2023, Perth 2024, 2026 edition planned) focused on mine electrification and decarbonisation. The technology stack is standard B2B publishing tooling (WordPress-based website, Joomag digital magazine, email newsletter, social distribution on X and LinkedIn); no proprietary platform, API, or SDK is offered, and no enterprise software product is sold.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) advertising placements in the magazine, on the website, and at events (the primary stream, with named advertisers including Sandvik, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Cummins, Weir, TotalEnergies, Multotec, ANDRITZ, SRK Consulting, and others); (2) magazine subscriptions, though the publication is offered free to qualified mining professionals; and (3) transaction-based revenue from The Electric Mine conference delegate fees, sponsor packages, and exhibition booth rentals. The company has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and is independently owned under Team Publishing Ltd.
