Mineler is first and foremost designed to be a social marketplace where mining people enjoy connecting with others, sharing ideas and exploring mine sites around the globe. Mineler gives you the ability to do a handful of things easily, which combined create a powerful social marketplace:

1. Find mine sites on the map and indicate your work history there
2. Connect with other mining people, see their work history and interact with them
3. Post updates or photos to mine sites and to your contacts
4. Fill out your profile with an ‘about’ blurb, photo and contact details
5. Add your own mine site ‘pin’ and enter details to share with other Mineler people
6. Bid for work and projects with mining companies

By giving skilled mining people the opportunity to connect directly with mining companies, we hope to facilitate a more flexible workforce, and a shift in culture throughout the mining industry.

We’re not sure if there is such a place as XYZ mine site, but if there was you would just type it into the Search bar in the top left corner.

If that’s no help, you can filter your search by Country, Commodity or Project Type.

If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, there’s a good chance it’s not on Mineler yet. To add your own site, you can Drop a Pin on the location, using the pin icon in the bottom right corner and enter your experience there.

Mineler is very different to Facebook or LinkedIn – there are no silly cat photos or cheesy memes here. All content is relevant to the mining industry and is based around location (mine sites), personal connections and real work experience. Mineler is anything but a traditional social network or job site. The mining industry uniquely operates around remote work sites, which is why Mineler’s user interface focuses on the geolocation of active mine sites around the globe. Mineler users are encouraged to share their experiences at each site they have worked at and interact with others who have worked there – no other social network is built this way.

Mineler is best viewed using Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Unfortunately, we are not able to support IE8, but we recommend upgrading to the latest version of IE.
