About the index, our data, the supplier listing programme, and how operators interact with WMI.
ABOUT WMI
What is WA Mining Index?
The most comprehensive and frequently updated B2B directory of active mining operations in Western Australia — operational data, site logistics and procurement contacts in one place.
Who is it built for?
Suppliers, contractors and service providers expanding their footprint in WA mining — connecting directly with active mine operators and site managers.
Why only Western Australia?
WA is the heartbeat of the global resource sector. Exclusive focus keeps data sharp and free of global noise.
Are you affiliated with any operator?
No. We're independently owned, bootstrapped and not affiliated with any operator, supplier or trade body.
DATA & VERIFICATION
How accurate is your data?
Updated continuously via proprietary scrapers, ASX announcements and human verification. Operators and operational statuses are reviewed on a rolling editorial cadence.
Where does it come from?
Western Australian government mining records (Minedex), ASX announcements, state lease data, editorial outreach, and supplier self-reporting (cross-checked).
How often is it updated?
Live for ASX-linked data. Editorial verification runs on a rolling cadence per mine.
I spotted incorrect data — what do I do?
Email [email protected] with the URL and the specific field. Corrections usually ship within 48 hours.
FOR SUPPLIERS
How does the supplier listing work?
A verified profile placed in front of regional site managers and procurement teams across our directory and search. Contact us for current rates and availability.
Is there a commission on quotes?
No. We don't sit between you and the operator. Quotes go direct from the procurement contact to you.
How long does verification take?
We check ABN, insurance and at least one client reference before a listing goes live. We confirm the expected turnaround when you apply.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Listings are month-to-month — no lock-in contracts.
FOR OPERATORS
Are operators charged?
No — operators are never charged. The index is funded by supplier listings, and operator profiles are maintained by WMI editorial.
How do I update my mine profile?
Email [email protected] from your company domain. We'll work with you to verify and update.
Can I list a procurement contact?
Yes — but only after WMI editorial verification. We never publish unverified personal contact details.
