94 Business View Australia - August 2015

The mineral industry plays an

important role in the country’s

economy and contributes to a

substantial extent

towards its exports. The mining sector

accounts for about 8.5% of Australia’s

GDP and employs approximately

2% of its workforce. But it has a

disproportionately high portion of

the country’s exports with its share

standing at 50%.

It is an acknowledged fact that

Australia has a vast pool of talent

in the mining sector and that the

country’s expertise is utilised within

its own borders and also by China

and the Southeast Asian countries

and even further afield in North and

South America and Europe.
