Mining Machinery

Mining is a major industry in Australia and a wide range of minerals are brought to the surface every year. Coal is mined in every state and as 75% is exported to Asia. Many immigrants have moved to work in the industry and Mining Machinery is also big business. It is a $160 billion dollar overall so it is easy to see why it is in the best interest of the owners to make sure that there staff are provided with the most up to date machines

There has been an environmental effect as a result of coal mining as certain areas have been completely deforested. Uranium mining is also controversial as it end up being used to create nuclear power

There has been a lot of investment in the mining industry and it is one of the most technologically advanced mining industries in the world. Australia provides mining services equipment, and technology to other countries and their exports are over $2 billion per year.

Despite the fact that they are a major exporter of equipment there is still a fair amount of Mining Machinery imported into Australia with China being one of the biggest suppliers.

There are still developments in the Mining Machinery industry and one of the latest is a system of blind boring. This has made setting up new mines much easier as there is no need to worry about the ventilation system being set up first. This is a very safe method as all the work is carried out on the surface. It is only once it is competed that humans are allowed to enter and as there is fluid filling the shaft during drilling it is only accessible once that has been removed.

In 2011 there will be a summit held and this is considered particularly important as it is vital that Australia keeps ahead of the rest of the world with regards to their mining technology. While this is important Mining Machinery will always be needed and there are plenty of companies who are selling new and second hand machinery. A combination of the two has made the work of the miners easier and the extraction quicker.

Not all companies can afford to buy the latest machines and there is the chance to rent them. This may not be the best choice if the machine will be used regularly but for a particular job can be a good option.
