The publisher's “Australia Copper Mining to 2025" provides a comprehensive coverage on Australia’s copper mining industry with historical and forecast data on the production. The production section has a brief description about major copper producing mines, production by company, metal prices and impact of the COVID-19 on the overall copper mining. The demand section includes analysis of the end use market which drives the metal demand. This mainly includes demand from construction and EV market. There is section on exports which include detail trend of country’s copper exports, exports by country, impact of lower demand for Australian copper from Chinese market. The report further includes profiles of country’s top copper producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects. At the end, there is a detail section on the major regulatory bodies, laws, mining rights and taxes which are applicable in country’s mining industry.

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).
