Finding Australian Mining Companies Is Now Easier

How do you find Australian mining companies? What about companies that provide equipment, products and / or services to the Australian Mining Industry? The online Mining Directory on miningreference.com has been carefully compiled to make it quick and easy for users to find relevant information about these companies.

The Mining Directory not only contains mining companies, but also companies that supply equipment, products and services to the Australian Mining Industry.

The Managing Director of miningreference.com, Calvin Close recently was the project manager for a large multi-million dollar underground coal mining project. Mr Close said that during that project, there were numerous occasions when he needed to find companies that supplied mining equipment. Mr Close said that trying to find these companies using Google, Yahoo or other search engines was "like looking for a needle in a haystack".

Mr Close added that "most companies do not understand the special requirements of the Mining Industry". Among other issues, the harsh environment and government regulation mean that most products are simply not suitable for the mining industry.

The team at miningreference.com set out to produce a Mining Directory that is:

1. Mining Specific - only mining companies and mining-related companies are allowed in the Directory

2. Industry Wide - it covers coal mining and hard-rock mining

3. Australia Wide - covers companies right across Australia

4. Comprehensive - there are well over 2,000 listings in the Mining Directory, with more being added every week

5. Easy to Use - Companies are arranged in logical categories and sub-categories

According to the Year Book Australia 2000 (published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics), the Australian Mining Industry spent over $21 billion on "Purchases and Selected Expenses" in 2000/2001. The Mining Directory puts users in this very large market in touch with suppliers that understand the Mining Industry.

If you have been having difficulty finding what you need in the Mining Industry, you should look in the Mining Directory on www.miningreference.com .
