Founded in 1909 by Herbert Hoover, Mining Magazine (MM) is the single definitive guide to mining. Mining Magazine offers in-depth, technical insight into all operational aspects of mining. The title is designed to inform and assist mine management with decisions on mining techniques and technologies, as well as issues affecting their workforce, logistics and supply chains.

You will be part of the core MM editorial team responsible for covering the operational mining space through the publication of a daily newsletter and monthly print publication. As a reporter for MM, you will work with the editor and deputy editor to cover the daily news beat, as well as conceptualising and delivering on feature ideas. You will be an ambassador for the MM and Aspermont brands through industry events, social media and the development of your own industry network.
