The high technical and scientific requirements are fulfilled by the partnership with authors from industry and research institutes. In addition to original specialist articles and technical reports, the journal informs readers about new developments from the industry, changes in personnel and events relevant to the sector.
The World of Mining – Surface & Underground developed out of the journal "Braunkohle", which was founded in 1902 and also amalgamated with the journal "Neue Bergbautechnik" in 1993. Since 2004 World of Mining - Surface & Underground has included the mining section of the former journal ERZMETALL.
