Independent coverage of Australian mining, operations & suppliers

Our standards

Editorial policy

How we keep our reporting independent, accurate and clearly separated from anything paid for.

Home / Editorial Policy

Mining FM exists to give the Australian mining industry practical, trustworthy information. This policy explains the standards we hold ourselves to and how we handle commercial relationships.

Independence

Our editorial team decides what we cover and how we cover it. Advertisers, sponsors and listed suppliers have no say over news coverage, story selection or the conclusions we reach, and they don’t see stories before publication.

Buying a featured listing or advertising with us does not earn coverage, and it does not protect a company from critical reporting.

Accuracy and sourcing

We verify facts with primary sources wherever possible: company announcements, regulator publications, court records, data and on-the-record interviews. When we rely on a secondary source, we say so.

We use anonymous sources only when the information is in the public interest and can’t be obtained another way, and we tell readers why a source wasn’t named.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it promptly and add a note to the article explaining what changed and when. Minor typos and formatting fixes may be made without a note.

To report an error, email editor@miningfm.com.au with the article link and the correction.

Sponsored content

Sponsored articles and guides are paid for by a partner. They are labelled Sponsored at the top of the page and in every listing, and the sponsor is named.

Sponsored content must still be accurate, useful and free of misleading claims. We reserve the right to decline or edit any sponsored piece that doesn’t meet these standards.

Featured listings and advertising

Featured supplier placements in our directory and on the homepage are paid placements and are labelled Featured. Display advertising is clearly separated from editorial content.

Basic directory listings are free. Inclusion in the directory is not an endorsement by Mining FM.

Conflicts of interest

Contributors must disclose any financial or personal interest in the companies, projects or products they write about. Where a conflict can’t be avoided, we disclose it in the article or reassign the story.

Use of AI tools

We may use software tools for tasks such as transcription, research assistance and proofreading. Every article is written, checked and approved by a person, and we don’t publish AI-generated images as real photographs.

Contact the editor

Story tips, feedback and complaints are welcome. Email editor@miningfm.com.au or use our contact form. We aim to respond to complaints within five business days.
