Welcome to GME - WA's meeting place for the mining industry

Western Australia’s Dynamic Mining Industry

Exhibiting at Goldfields Mining Expo offers mining industry suppliers with a proven gateway to a dynamic market. Consider the facts:

Western Australia (WA) is one of the most productive and diversified mineral and petroleum regions in the world. Western Australia is the powerhouse of the resources industry not only in Australia, but also the Asia-Pacific region as a whole. The annual value of production resources is in excess of A$27billion.

The mining industry in Western Australia employs more than 40,000 people directly and produces exports of more than A$17billion each year.

WA hosts an impressive 480 commercial mineral projects, embracing 770 operating mine sites (open pit, underground mines and quarries) plus over 140 processing plants and some 50 different minerals in commercial production. Over 60 State Agreements between the State and industry underwrite the foundation that the resource sector provides to the Western Australian economy.
