Govt. looking to attract more investment in mining sector following completion of $4B mineral mapping project

Following completion of a four-billion-dollar mineral mapping project, the government is moving to attract more investment into its mining sector. Comprehensive geological data lowers exploration risk and typically precedes a wave of licensing interest from international miners. For the global metals market, new supply regions always matter: they shape where the next decade's ore and alloy inputs come from and at what cost. Mining investors — and the traders who follow them — will be watching which deposits the mapping has brought into focus.
