Step 1
Decide if Coal Mining is the right industry to target
The Coal Mining industry
The Coal Mining industry specifically deals with the extraction of various types of coal, including bituminous coal, anthracite, and lignite. It encompasses different mining methods employed to extract coal from the earth, such as underground mining, auger mining, strip mining, and culm bank mining.
What businesses are included
This industry includes companies involved in developing coal mine sites, extracting coal using various methods, and beneficiating coal, which involves processes like cleaning, washing, screening, and sizing the extracted coal. This specialization distinguishes Coal Mining from other types of mining, such as Metal Ore Mining or Nonmetallic Mineral Mining. For example, a company operating a surface coal mine in Wyoming would fall under this industry.
When targeting the Coal Mining industry on LinkedIn, your search will automatically cover all related sub-industries. To maximize the relevance of your leads, you may want to exclude certain sub-industries that don’t align with your ideal customer profile.
Sub-industries included in Coal Mining:
Which businesses are not included
Companies focused on mining other minerals, even if those minerals are extracted using similar techniques, are not part of the Coal Mining industry. For instance, a company mining iron ore, even if it uses open-pit mining similar to some coal mining operations, would be classified under Metal Ore Mining, not Coal Mining.
