Mining Technology & Services

Queensland’s mining and energy industries added a record $25 billion to Queensland’s economy in 2007, a significant contribution to gross state product. Trends indicate this will continue, with $21.4 billion in earnings generated from crude minerals and processed minerals and metals exports in 2006/07. This represented just over 60 per cent of the total value of Queensland’s overseas merchandise exports for the period.

With continued growth, developing technologies are increasingly applicable to both traditional and emerging industry issues, such as energy efficiency and greenhouse gas mitigation. Together with KPMG, Invest Brisbane is conducting a Mining Technology and Services audit of Brisbane’s existing industry presence and capabilities.

The audit will produce a Mining Services Directory and provide a platform to attract potential investors, capitalising on Brisbane’s strengths and the emerging opportunities arising from this burgeoning sector. The benefits are myriad – investment attraction, supply chain opportunities and increased domestic and global consumers.

If successful, there is scope to form a body who takes responsibility for ongoing management of the directory and marketing Brisbane as a global mining hub.

Invest Brisbane welcomes public enquires and feedback. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact us today.
