Australia’s mining industry has been playing it safe with a focus on cutting costs and reducing risk, but should companies be driving exploration instead? In this issue of MINE, we take a look at the potential of the country’s less explored regions. We also explore Kenya’s efforts to kick-start its nascent mining industry and find out what the future will hold for international investors waiting to access Myanmar’s vast reserves.

China is the third largest bauxite producer in the world and its demand for the commodity is growing rapidly, but its domestic reserves are dwindling. We take a look at the countries best positioned to become key bauxite suppliers to China in the future.
Moreover, we investigate trends in green mining technology and take a look at the top ten gold producing countries in the world.
