Connecting Hunter mine sites with the local businesses that keep them running.

MineSearch is a local directory built in Singleton. It helps Hunter Valley mine sites and contractors find the parts and services already on their doorstep. We’re inviting 30 local businesses to help us build it as founding vendors.

Why we’re building MineSearch

The Hunter has hundreds of capable local suppliers. But when equipment is down, the people who need them often can’t find them fast enough. MineSearch puts local businesses where mine sites look first. Every supplier who joins makes it more useful for everyone: sites find what they need faster, and more of the spend stays in Hunter communities.

Who'll be searching

Maintenance planners, supervisors and procurement teams at Hunter Valley mine sites. We launch to them in early 2027, starting with our founding vendors' catalogues.

Who's behind MineSearch

We’re a Singleton business, built by people who’ve spent years in Hunter Valley mining operations. We know the sites and we know the suppliers, and we’re building MineSearch to make the connection between them stronger.

Questions

Is it really free for the first year?
Yes. Founders get the Full plan free for 12 months, and you don't need to enter payment details to start.
What happens after the first year?
Year 2 is the Full plan at 50% off, billed annually. We'll ask for payment details before year 2 starts. If MineSearch isn't for you, leave before then and you pay nothing. From year 3, standard Full plan pricing applies.
My catalogue isn't in a spreadsheet. Can I still apply?
Yes. Our upload uses a simple template, and our team can help you get your catalogue into it.
How do you choose founders?
We're selecting about 3 founders per category, so mine sites can find a good spread of local suppliers from launch. Places are limited, but every applicant will get a launch offer.
