About Mining Dispatch

Mining Dispatch reads the day’s mining news so you do not have to. Each weekday an editor goes through announcements, filings, regulator notices and reporting from around the world, picks what matters, and writes it up in our own words. Every item says why it matters and links to whoever reported it first.

Every Monday morning the best of the week arrives in one email, The weekly digest. It is written for investors, mine operators, suppliers, geologists and anyone who follows the sector.

Where we cover

A large share of the world’s listed mining companies are based in Canada, and many of our readers work here, so Canada has its own section at /region/canada/. The rest of the site covers mining wherever it happens.

Who edits it

Mining Dispatch is edited and published by Christopher Ross, a Canadian web practitioner based in Fort Erie, Ontario, who runs thisismyurl.com. The editor is accountable for what runs here.

Because the publisher’s own business advertises on this site, we say so plainly: see interests we disclose.

How it works

We use software to help read and sort the day’s news and to check drafts against their sources. Every story is checked against its sources and against our written standards before it is published, and the checks it has to pass depend on what kind of story it is. We do not publish unchecked machine output.
