Introduction

Metal Bulletin Events is proud to present the second edition of our hugely successful Australian Iron Ore conference. With mining stocks continuously outperforming the markets and mega-mergers and acquisitions still very much on the cards, Australian miners have everything to be happy about.

Steel consumption in China is predicted to continue to grow massively in the coming years, and given their local shortage of quality iron ore, Australia is in the perfect position to continue to supply these huge markets.

Investors are pouring money into commodities and major steel companies are rushing to buy stock in mining companies all over Western Australia to secure raw materials that have seen huge price hikes. How long will the boom continue? Who will be the winners and losers? Can infrastructure keep up with development? These are but a few questions the event aims to answer to ensure a profitable future for the industry.

The event will focus on the burgeoning infrastructure requirements, port and shipping issues and the future growth and sustainability of the Australian iron ore industry, as well as the expansion of Australian mining project overseas, and Chinese investment in Australia.
