Mining documentary and video production
Mining documentaries, filmed on site, for the investors who will never stand there.
We make documentary series, corporate films and the short films that run between news releases. For Teako Minerals we travelled more than 3,000 km across Norway, filmed 11 interviews and made The Sleeping Giant, a docuseries in four episodes.
- Campaigns and multimedia
- A series in four episodes, not a single video.
- Brand and proposition
- A story first: the place, the people and why it matters.
- Customer and investor experience
- Cut for every channel, from one shoot.
- Product and technology
- A home for the films on your own website.
Where you are
A site visit video shows the asset. A documentary gives people a reason to follow the company.
The chief executive and the board. You know what the project looks like and why it matters. Most of your shareholders have never seen it.
Investor relations and marketing. You need something to send between news releases that is not another news release.
- 01“We have drone footage and a talking head. Nobody watches it.”
- 02“Investors cannot get to site, and photographs do not carry it.”
- 03“The community hears about us from other people first.”
- 04“We film once and have nothing to post for the rest of the year.”
The series
The Sleeping Giant, in four episodes.
How we make them
One shoot, cut into a series, a corporate film and the content between.
The story. A mining documentary fails when it is a tour of the property. The Sleeping Giant is about a country: Norway, a great mining country that stopped, and the people starting again. Its four episodes are Norwegian Mining Heritage, Home Advantage, What Lies Beneath and The Awakening. The company is in the story because it is part of that return.
On location. We travelled more than 3,000 km across Norway and filmed 11 interviews, from the air, on the ground and underground, with the company’s own people on camera.
More than the series. The same work produced a hero film of 1:53 for the website and a corporate film of 6:18 with the chief executive on camera, as well as a trailer for each episode.
Between announcements. Film is the raw material for the content that follows. Teako’s go-live ran for four weeks across six channels, and 184 pieces of content have been distributed, every piece cleared before it ships.
Inside the disclosure rules. A film is disclosure too. National Instrument 43-101 covers oral statements as well as written ones, so what is said on camera about a material project needs the same qualified person review as a news release. We plan that review before the cut is locked.

The work
What one shoot made.
Teako Minerals
Teako Minerals
“Showing people what mineral exploration is, the people involved, the places explored, and the requirement for it. Teako’s partnership with WAO has done just that.”
What mining companies ask about film.
Because most of its shareholders will never visit the project, and a documentary is the closest they get. It shows the place, the people and the reason the work matters, and it gives the company something to publish between news releases.
Yes. The Sleeping Giant was filmed from the air, on the ground and underground across Norway, over more than 3,000 km of travel.
From the Teako Minerals work: four episodes with a trailer each, a hero film of 1:53 for the website, a corporate film of 6:18, photography from the shoot, and footage for the content that followed.
Yes. In Canada, any public statement of scientific or technical information about a material mineral project is disclosure, whether it is written or spoken. What is said on camera needs the same qualified person review as a news release.
The four trailers are on this page, and each episode is on the Teako Minerals YouTube channel.
