Sandvik Mining has launched a digital portal called Minestories.com, enabling people visit the world’s most interesting mines through videos, photographs and informative text articles and allows the discovery of the latest and greatest mining machines, methods and miletsones. The redeveloped storytelling portal provides digital content about the industry’s people, products, trends and technology. The content hub, formerly known as solidgroundmagazine.com has also been redesigned with convenience and visual appeal in mind. The material has been designed for ease of use with social media through both computer browsers and mobile devices.

Jeanette Svensson, Marketing Communications/Brand Manager at Sandvik Mining said “Minestories.com is a mine of information about our industry, and a new custom newsletter function now makes extracting our favourite content to share with colleagues even easier,”

Users can browse material by market area, industry segment or product group, or search for features, film clips or news stories by keyword.

“Solidgroundmagazine.com primarily featured the material from our twice-a-year customer magazine, Solid Ground,” Svensson says. “Minestories.com will be updated regularly with much more fresh and online-only content. If there’s a mining story to tell, chances are you’ll read about it here.”

The portal is also published in local languages for some of the world’s major mining markets. A dropdown menu allows visitors to select Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Canadian French, Polish or Russian editions.
