Australian miners need to make hard choices
Australia’s mining history began with Indigenous peoples, but large-scale European mining started with coal in the late 18th century. The 1850s gold rushes dramatically boosted population and economy. Subsequent discoveries of silver, lead, copper, and tin further cemented its mining prowess. The 20th century saw a “resources boom” with vast deposits of iron ore, bauxite, nickel, uranium, oil, and gas.
Today, Australia remains a global leader in mineral production and export. But challenges are plenty. Miners will have to navigate a slowing China, rising geopolitics and falling competitiveness.
