Mining Industry Vs Credit Crunch – Down But not Out

In the midst of the credit crunch and reports of mining industry expenditure freeze, some mining giants are taking the bull by the horns and gearing for major capital expenditure and possible mergers. “Reports from BHP Billiton Ltd, the world’s largest mining company, say they are pushing on with the first stage of its five phase Olympic Dam expansion, with production expected by 2013.  In recent reports Australia’s biggest gold company Newcrest Mining indicated that it was in a “robust” financial position at a time when there are restrictions on money in the marketplace due to the financial crisis. To indicate further confidence in the mining industry Mr. David Bartlett Tasmania’s Premier recently indicated the strength of the mining sector and its long-term potential to help underpin Australia’s continued economic growth, this was during his visit to Avebury nickel mine. All this seems to be positive indications that the Australian mining industry might be down but it’s definitely not out” commented Martin Mativenga the founder of miningplazza.com.au.
