[The United States Geological Survey (USGS) surveys international mineral industries to generate statistics on the global production, distribution, and resources of industrial minerals. This directory highlights the economically significant mineral facilities of Asia and the Pacific. Distribution of these facilities is shown on the accompanying map. Each record represents one commodity and one facility type for a single location. Facility types include mines, oil and gas fields, and processing plants such as refineries, smelters, and mills. Facility identification numbers (“Position”) are ordered alphabetically by country, followed by commodity, and then by capacity (descending). The “Year” field establishes the year for which the data were reported in Minerals Yearbook, Volume III – Area Reports: Mineral Industries of Asia and the Pacific. In the “DMS Latitiude” and “DMS Longitude” fields, coordinates are provided in degree-minute-second (DMS) format; “DD Latitude” and “DD Longitude” provide coordinates in decimal degrees (DD). Data were converted from DMS to DD. Coordinates reflect the most precise data available.

    ~IVIEI::.. 3rd March 2012 Tim Bryant Secretariat Senate Economics Legislation Committee Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Dear Tim Senate Economics Committee Inquiry into the Minerals Resource Rent Tax - Questions on Notice Thank you for the opportunity of providing separate responses to various Questions on Notice asked at the Senate Economics Committee hearing held on 21 February 2012. AMEC would also like to provide some additional and relevant comments concerning the MRRT for the consideration of the Committee. Q from the Chair, page 56- How many small miners are currently making an annual profit of more than $75 million a year? Response In respect of the MRRT legislation, AMEC considers that a small miner should be defined as a miner producing less than ten million tons of iron ore or coal per annum. 1 2 According to Intierra , in the calendar year 2010 there were six iron ore producers and ten coal producers in production in this category. Examining the most recent annual reports of the iron ore3 producer's shows three of the six iron ore producers made a "company profit" in excess of $75 million. Four of these companies are single commodity producers (iron ore) while the other two produce other commodities. AMEC is unable to separate any iron ore profit from the balance of the company profits in the later two cases. Of the two iron ore companies mentioned by me in the hearing on 21 February, BC Iron only entered production in the first half of the 2011/12 financial year and therefore full annual financial data is unavailable.
