Australian mines

The engine room of Australian mining — iron ore in the Pilbara, gold and nickel in the Goldfields, lithium, alumina and more.

Coking coal in the Bowen Basin, base metals in the North West Minerals Province, and bauxite at Weipa.

Hunter Valley coal, the silver–lead–zinc city of Broken Hill, and gold–copper mines through the central west.

Home to one of the world’s great copper–uranium–gold systems, the historic Copper Coast, and most of Australia’s opal.

Manganese, bauxite, gold and zinc across some of Australia’s most remote country.

A dense, historic mineral field — tin, copper, zinc and gold along the wild West Coast.

The goldfields that built Melbourne, brown coal in the Latrobe Valley, mineral sands in the west, and a broad extractive-materials economy.
