Another slogan: "Win a landslide victory in your mudslinging campaigns with our earth-moving solutions!"
danya Aug 15, 2013:
oh these bowels We move the bowels of the Earth - would make a nice slogan for a mining company
ViBe Aug 14, 2013:
No need to get fixated... … on this awkwardly worded figure of speech: “богатствам, скрытым в недрах Земли.” What does “скрытые в недрах Земли” add to the picture? What make it different from the classical term “полезные ископаемые,“ which has many translations, including: “natural resources,” “extractable resources,” “mineral resources,” “fossil minerals,” “underground resources” or even more romantic “treasures of the soil?”

My shot.
If you're looking for a less technical locution fitting an Art/Literary context.

wealth, hidden in the bowels of the earth

Peer comment(s):

disagree Susan Welsh : It sounds like the earth swallowed its wallet. "Bowels" is not used nowadays in this sense, at least in American English, except perhaps in poetry. But not for a coal-mining company.

Thank you, but I referred to the newest dictionary. And the style btw. isn't one of a mining company's official paper. Rather a poetry style.

agree LilianNekipelov : I agree. Or hidden. You could use "treasures", I think as well.

Thank you, Igor
neutral ViBe : Not necessarily “deep.” In fact, some can be found right under the surface. They call it “open-pit mining” for a reason. / Oh, I didn't see the Art/Literary thing! Which brings me to ... an idea!

You may be right, I'm no expert in mining terminology. Since the Q was billed as Art/Literary I figured they had a non-technical idea in mind for недрах. Thanks
agree danya : ... for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone ;)

"SUBSOIL RESOURCES AND RESERVES"

Незаслуженно забытое слово – «subsoil». Скорее всего, изобретение русскоязычных переводчиков (with all due respect) для передачи труднопереводимого термина «недра», потому что подавляющее число ссылок – на переводные сайты.

Но есть и ооновский документ:
CLASSIFICATION OF SUBSOIL RESOURCES AND RESERVES
by Prof James Blignaut and Jackie Crafford
Department of Economics, University of Pretoria
ASSET Research, Beatus CC & Jabenzi Pty(Ltd) and CIC international
