Metal ore mining companies · Content marketing

Write what a raw-material head needs to read before ordering a sample.

Content marketing for a metal ore mine is the writing and documents a purchase team reads before it asks for a sample or a lot: grade explainers, handling notes and stock updates. GullySales works on documents that answer a buyer's questions in the mine's own voice, so the first call starts from a shared page.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What content marketing means

Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

For metal ore mining companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The buyer reads before calling”

    A raw-material head comparing mines opens documents first. If your mine has an explainer on how its manganese is sorted and tested, the head arrives at the call with questions about quantity, not about whether you know your ore.

  • “Plain language beats technical show”

    A mine can describe its ore body in the lessee's terms or in a buyer's terms. The buyer cares about size range, moisture, impurities and the way the lot is sampled, so those belong in the opening paragraph.

  • “Process and handling are content too”

    How the ore is crushed, screened, washed and stacked, and how a truck is loaded and weighed, answers questions a purchase team would otherwise ask by phone. A short, factual note on each step saves repeated calls.

  • “Stock updates are the steady content”

    The regular piece for a mine is a stock update: which lots are ready, at what grade, from which loading point. Written the same way each time, it becomes a document the buyer list looks forward to opening.

What we do

What we deliver for metal ore mining companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Grade explainer for each ore

    A plain-language note on the ore you sell, its size forms, how it is tested and what the assay table means for a plant's process.

    Result: A new buyer can read it and understand your grade sheet.

  2. Handling and loading note

    A short account of crushing, screening, stacking, weighing and loading, with the rail siding or road access described.

    Result: Buyers stop asking the same logistics questions by phone.

  3. Stock update format

    A fixed layout for announcing a ready lot, with grade, tonnes, loading point and contact.

    Result: The same format goes to the whole buyer list each time.

  4. Process-side article set

    A few articles on topics a plant team searches, such as how fines differ from lumps for a given furnace.

    Result: Your site holds reading that answers a purchase team's questions.

  5. Document library

    Mine profile, grade sheets and handling notes gathered in one place, with version dates.

    Result: The mine office sends one link instead of attaching five files.

How the result is measured

  • Pages published
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from content pages

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Pieces worth writing

The notes a raw-material head reads before asking for a sample.

How to read our assay sheet
A guide to the sheet: sampling method, moisture basis and the figures a lab will check. Written by the person who runs the mine laboratory.
Lumps, fines and what each plant takes
A plain explanation of the size bands and which processes use them. Helps a new buyer ask for the right grade.
Loading and dispatch at the mine
Rail siding or road, weighbridge steps and the documents that travel with each load. Answers the logistics contact's checklist in one place.
Stock note format
The one-page note that carries grade, quantity on the yard and the loading point, so every plant sees the same facts.
Moisture and handling in the rainy months
A note on how ore is stacked and covered. Plants that buy through the monsoon want to know how moisture is managed.

Who it is for

This is written for these metal ore mining companies.

  • Iron ore mines selling lumps, fines and pellet-grade ore
  • Manganese ore mines supplying ferroalloy and steel plants
  • Chromite mines supplying ferrochrome producers
  • Bauxite mines supplying alumina and aluminium plants
  • Copper, lead and zinc ore producers selling concentrate
  • Mine lessees selling through contracts or e-auctions
  • Beneficiation and washing plant operators at the mine
  • Captive mine owners with surplus ore to sell

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no one at the mine who can verify technical lines, and a note with a wrong grade figure would lose a plant that tests the sample.
  • You have not settled what you may say about grades under your sale route, so published notes might contradict the terms of an auction.
  • Your sales problem is a missing buyer list, so articles would sit unread until the plants are identified.

How it works

How the content marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Agree the plan

    Topics and formats come from the content strategy and the buyer-question list. The volume goes into the written scope, agreed with you, not into a number quoted on a call.

  2. 2

    Brief and draft

    Each piece starts from its one-page brief and a short conversation with your technical person, recorded if they allow it, so the draft uses their words.

  3. 3

    Check the facts

    Your person marks the draft for accuracy and we correct it. Regulated subjects also go to your own adviser, because restrictions on claims apply to articles as much as to advertisements.

  4. 4

    Publish and distribute

    The piece goes live on your site, then out through the channels where your buyers already are.

  5. 5

    Read the enquiries and adjust

    Results are reported against the baseline recorded before work began. Topics that brought readers but no enquiries are changed or dropped. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do we need to write about the whole industry?
No. Write about your own ore, your own handling and your own lots. General industry commentary does little for a buyer choosing a source.
Who approves the content?
You do. Anything that states a grade, a quantity or a lease detail goes to the mine office for a check before it is used.
Can we reuse the content in decks and emails?
Yes. The same grade explainer can sit in a deck, a mail to a plant and a page on the site, so one piece of writing serves several uses.
Do plants read articles from mines?
The raw-material head and the lab read what answers a buying question, such as an assay sheet or a loading note. They skip general industry pieces. Write about your own ore, sampling and dispatch, and keep each piece short enough to forward.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
