In the six months to April 2008, 22 major minerals and energy projects, with a total capital expenditure of $11.3 billion, were completed.
- Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE)

In many ways, the mineral industry is unique when it comes to funding for projects and the challenges faced by the industry are increasing year by year. The pace and extent of current developments in Australia’s mineral resources sector is unprecedented. ABARE has also reported that 97 projects worth a record $70.5 billion are under way for 2008, while a further 244 are in various stages of planning

As the demand for Australia’s commodities increase, more mining and exploration companies are trying to bring new projects on line and are currently seeking debt and equity finance. However, due to many factors, including the current overseas market conditions and the resource shortages in the mining industry, building the projects on time and to budget is becoming increasingly impossible. On top of higher rates and costs, there are more restrictions to comply with, both in planning and developing the project, making it more difficult to finance these projects.

In today’s complex and competitive environment, Mining & Exploration: Financing & Project Delivery 08 offers multiple applications which will help you to gather, compile, process, and analyse the best and worst scenarios for your project. A well designed, implemented, and supported project management structure is critical in the success of your mining operation.
