Despite a downturn in Australia’s domestic mining market over recent years, the mining equipment, technology and services sector is booming internationally. We find out why Australian mining know-how, skills and technology are in high demand around the world and the opportunities it presents for companies. We also investigate what the year will hold for commodities exports and what the top sellers are.
The approval of Waratah Coal’s Galilee Coal Project in Queensland has sparked much criticism. We ask what the environmental risks are and whether the economic benefits for the region can help the developers strike a balance. Moreover, we speak to Malcolm Knox, author of the first history of Australian mining published in 50 years, about how the industry has evolved since the 1850s gold rush and ask the South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy why it has launched a video competition aimed at inspiring teenagers to engage with the industry.

A new report has raised concerns that mining companies are justifying their activities based on a so-called ‘social licence’ that is undefined in law. We investigate the practice and ask whether communities and the environment
could profit from official standards in corporate social responsibility.
We also review the dangers wildfires pose to mine operations in the light of a recent blaze at Hazelwood coal mine in Victoria, take a look at Iluka Resources‘ investment in technology start-up Metalysis and ask what the Abbot Point coal port expansion will mean for Queensland in terms of economy and the environment. We also speak to the founders of the country’s first Aboriginal-owned supply company for the mining sector, Kulbardi, about their business and bringing job opportunities to local Aboriginal communities.
