Open the company's profile and check its own email format. Companies differ, so this beats any industry average.

Check the address with the email checker before you send. It tests the mailbox without sending a message.

Questions

What is the most common email format in Mining companies?

first.last@company.com is the most common format, matching 85.7% of the 315 addresses we analysed across 57 companies.

Do all Mining companies use the same format?

No. Among the 40 companies in this sample with a clear dominant format, first.last was dominant in 33. Always check the company's own format on its profile page before sending.

How this is calculated: each address is matched to the contact's name, and only business addresses on the company's own domain are counted. Consumer mail providers such as Gmail are excluded. The sample is the companies with the most contacts in this industry, so it favours larger companies.
