Learn about the Australian mining projects Mipac has delivered
Mipac services at the heart of Australian mining and mineral processing
Mining is in our blood and Australia is our home, so it’s no wonder our portfolio of automation and control system projects in this market is extensive.
Some of the biggest names in Australian mining projects
Since our early days with Mount Isa Mines, Mipac’s control system engineers and optimisation experts have collaborated closely with Australian miners to maximise their practical functionality and ensure future scalability, enhancing the effectiveness of existing systems in the process.
Our project overview of this market includes: Glencore | Mount Isa Mines | BHP | MMG | New Century | North Parkes and more.
The hidden treasure down under
Mining plays a vital role in the Australian economy, contributing significantly to its growth and prosperity. Australia is rich in mineral resources, including coal, iron ore, gold, copper, and many others, making it one of the world’s leading mineral producers. The revenue generated from mining exports substantially bolsters the country’s economy, providing jobs, infrastructure development, and essential government revenues.
Moreover, the mining sector fosters technological advancements and innovation, enhancing Australia’s global competitiveness. As a major contributor to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), mining ensures a robust economic foundation and underpins various related industries, including manufacturing and logistics. It’s safe to say that the mining industry remains an economic cornerstone, solidifying Australia’s position as a resource-rich and economically resilient nation.

This edition covers project profiles from a range of mining operations. Our control system and process optimisation works spans a wide range of commodities currently being mined in Australia – from staples like copper and gold to the growing list of critical minerals.
According to PWC “Australia has among the world’s largest supply of critical minerals, which are pivotal to the world’s path to net zero.4 As the global energy transition gains momentum, and demand for critical minerals and other energy transition minerals surges, Australia’s (abundant) supply gives us an unparalleled economic and strategic advantage.”

Australian Mining sat down with Ernst & Young and Accenture to explore the global resource industry’s outlook for 2023 and beyond.
The Australian mining industry has weathered many challenges in 2022, with societal disruptions affecting global equilibriums, leading to geopolitical, economic and environmental uncertainty.
Miners have had to adapt to higher capital and operational costs due to rising global inflation, while La Niña-induced wet weather has quelled production across the country.
