Mining and Resources

Australia’s mining and resource industry became recognised by world standards in the 1950’s and 60’s when the largest holding of economic resources such as bauxite, iron ore, industrial diamonds, lead, mineral sands, silver, uranium and zinc were discovered. Since then Australia has developed laws to protect these valuable commodities for both environmental sustainability and as a revenue producing resource.

The mining and resource industry is regulated by the Mineral Resources Act 1989 and the Land & Resources Tribunal.
