Austrade worked closely with state and territory governments to compile the project data we present here. The project data has been sorted by jurisdiction, critical mineral, project status (with the most advanced projects appearing first), and then by contained critical mineral in the total mineral resource (with the largest appearing first). Below is a glossary of terms used to describe the status of projects. While care has been taken to ensure the information in this volume is accurate, readers should conduct their own due diligence of projects of interest. The Critical Minerals Projects in Australia 2020 list was finalised in June 2020, and the status of some projects may have changed since this period. Interested investors and offtake partners can contact Austrade via our website (www.austrade.gov.au) or through one of our offshore offices to discuss any of the projects in this volume, or opportunities in critical minerals in Australia more broadly.

Though trade restrictions continue to impede completely free access to the worldwide uranium market, the uranium resources and production capabilities of the developing countries are becoming increasingly important in assuring the adequacy of uranium supplies to meet projected worldwide demand. Therefore, papers presented at this meeting provide an important overview of uranium production operations in developing countries as well as offering insight into future production plans and potential. Along with their increasing contribution to worldwide uranium supply, the environmental impact of uranium production in developing countries has come under increasing scrutiny

  • The Information Quality of Derivative Disclosures in Corporate Annual Reports of Australian Firms in the Extractive Industries

    The Information Quality of Derivative Disclosures in Corporate Annual Reports of Australian Firms in the Extractive Industries

    THE INFORMATION QUALITY OF DERIVATIVE DISCLOSURES IN CORPORATE ANNUAL REPORTS OF AUSTRALIAN FIRMS IN THE EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES Mohamat Sabri Hassan B.Ac (Hons.) (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia), M.Social Science (Southampton) A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy within the School of Accountancy at Queensland University of Technology 2004 Keywords: Disclosure quality; transparency; disclosure index; financial instruments; derivative instruments; market value; extractives industries. ii ABSTRACT Recent events in the business world have focused attention on the importance of high quality financial reporting. Of particular interest is where the collapse of prominent companies such as Baring Plc. was due to the company’s involvement with derivative instruments. In Australia, some derivative instruments are not recognised in the balance sheet. However, the Australian accounting standard AASB 1033 Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Instruments requires extensive disclosures to overcome the lack of guidance with regard to the recognition and measurement. Therefore, AASB 1033 may be regarded as a high quality disclosure standard. This thesis investigates the transparency or information quality of derivative disclosures of Australian firms in the extractive industries using 1998 to 2001 financial reports. The extractive industries play a major role in the Australian economy, where they generated exports worth more than A$30billion in 2000 to 2002 (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2003a and 2003b). Further, firms in the extractive industries extensively use derivative instruments for hedging purposes (Berkman, Bradbury, Hancock and Innes, 1997). The objective of this study is, first, to examine the relationship between the transparency or disclosure quality of derivative information and firm characteristics.
