Australia has the world’s second-largest copper reserves, at 88 million tonnes (Mt) as of January 2021, after Chile. In 2021, Australian copper mine production is expected to rebound with 2.7% growth, over the previous year. This will be mainly attributed to higher output from Oz Mineral’s Prominent Hills mine, which reported 41.2% growth in the first nine months of 2021 over the same period in 2020. Meanwhile, the country’s other major producers, Glencore Plc, BHP and Newcrest, have reported respective falls of 4.1%, 1.7% and 6.2% between January–September 2021. In terms of exports, Australia’s volume is expected to expand by 2.6% in 2021 to 1,836kt – due to an increase in Australian copper shipments to other markets than China, which was the largest export market for Australia. However, Australia’s overall exports in the first nine months of 2021 fell by 2% to 1,296.5kt, compared to 1,326.8kt in the same period of the previous year. The country’s mining industry is governed by the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO) and the Minerals Council of Australia (MCA).
