Press Release Summary = The Mining Showcase is the place for companies to showcase
their products and services to the mining industry.
The idea for The Mining Showcase began because so many companies approached the team
at miningreference.com asking how they could promote their products and services to
the mining industry. Many of these products and services were unique and very
beneficial to the industry. It made sense to let the mining industry know about
these products / services.

Press Release Body = miningreference.com (http://www.miningreference.com/) is
pleased to announce the launch of The Mining Showcase on 1 September 2006.

The Mining Showcase (http://www.theminingshowcase.com) is the place for companies to
showcase their products and services to the Australian mining industry.

The idea for The Mining Showcase began because so many companies approached the team
at miningreference.com asking how they could promote their products and services to
the mining industry. Many of their products and services were unique and very
beneficial to the industry.

All of these companies were facing similar problems of getting their products /
services known to the mining industry. Many of these companies were frustrated that
they couldn\'t get \"into the mining industry\".

The Managing Director of miningreference.com, Calvin Close, said they were always
looking out for ways to improve the services offered to the mining industry.

Mr Close added, \"We did not stop there with product listings on The Mining Showcase.
We surveyed all the requests we had received for assistance in promoting to the
mining industry.

\"We realised that some companies not only wanted to be able to \"showcase\" their
products on the internet; they also wanted a higher-profile promotion of their
products and services.

\"We tailored several \"Mining Promotion Packages\" that specifically addressed the
needs of these companies. All the packages include listings in The Mining Showcase,
but the higher-end packages include other means of promotion to the mining
industry.\"
