Mining Jobs in Australia
It was only weeks after the first reported discovery of minerals in Australia that the gold rushes began. The growth that ensued was so rapid that by the mid 1850’s they were producing 40% of the world’s gold.
Since then Australia has gone on to remain one of the world’s top 3 producers of a variety of commodities and is currently the largest exporter of coal. It is a country rich in minerals and mining is so widespread that it takes place in every region.
Some of the more well- known mining areas are the Goldfields and Pilbara regions of Western Australia, Hunter Valley, Kalgoorlie, Mount Isa, Olympic Dam, and Latrobe Valley.
