1. Commodities and the Year Ahead

This section includes a collection of articles and interviews to help industry players better understand predictions for the year ahead. As the mining industry continues to gather positive momentum, there are huge plans on the drawing board about to be put into action. This, together with sound commodity prices helping the bottom line, will see 2020 shaping up for solid growth. Company executives are also searching for new acquisitions and opportunities to build stronger and more diversified asset bases to increase economies of scale in the shortterm, yield greater returns in the mid-term, and hedge against commodity fluctuations long-term.

The Australian Mines and Services Handbook will be instrumental in assisting industry players with their respective objectives.
