Major export industry 1 Mining and mining equipment, technology and services Mineral and energy resources key facts: • More than 180,000 direct and indirect employees. • Contributed $21.6 billion to Queensland's economy in 2015-16. • One of the world's largest exporters of seaborne coal. • Queensland is in the world's top five for the production of lead, zinc, bauxite and silver. • The sector attracted 40 per cent of all capital investment in Queensland and exploration expenditure of over $436 million in 2015-16. • Queensland has more than 800 mining equipment, technology and services (METS) companies - more than any other Australian state. Queensland has strong comparative advantages in the production of zinc, aluminium and LNG. Queensland's international competitiveness in mining has resulted in considerable expertise in METS directly employing more people than the mining sector itself. Resources Investment Commissioner The Queensland Government's Resources Investment Commissioner helps secure new partnerships to support Queensland's mining and METS industries. This includes matching international investors with mineral deposits, mines, explorers and mining technology companies that are seeking capital. New markets and exporters There are growing opportunities for METS suppliers in India and the Americas, including the USA, Mexico, Chile and Peru. In 2015, 66 per cent of Australian METS companies were already globally active, with an additional 16 per cent intending to begin exporting by 2017.40 Investment in minerals exploration The Queensland Government has released Queensland's first exploration forward plan to deliver certainty and opportunity to the Queensland resources sector and investors. The seven areas include Cloncurry in the north- west, Bowen Basin in central Queensland and Surat in the south-west. Case Study: Blast Movement Technologies Brisbane-based Blast Movement Technologies was founded in 2005 and today is the global leader in blast movement monitoring technology used by mining companies around the world to improve their recovery rates of ore. The company's patented system - based on technology developed at the University of Queensland - allows mine operators to accurately locate ore and waste zones after blasting. This ensures that ore is not accidently overlooked or discarded, which in turn increases revenue. - Current action: The Queensland Government is developing the Advance Queensland METS 10-Year Roadmap and Action Plan. Queensland's coal and bauxite reserves are among the largest in the world 22 Queensland Trade and Investment Strategy 2017-2022 Gladstone, Queensland Ray Cash Photography The State of Queensland
