7 Data sources

The statistics in this publication are obtained from several sources, as follows.

 The majority of mine production data (other than petroleum) is obtained from companies, published company reports and BREE estimates. Data are supplemented where necessary by information from state mines departments (or their equivalents).  Petroleum production and sales are based on data obtained from the Resources Division of the Australian Government Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism.  Smelter and refinery production data are provided by companies operating the major smelters and refineries.  Trade data are obtained from official Australian Bureau of Statistics compiled statistics, supplemented by BREE estimates where necessary.  Price information is from published sources. The assistance of the organisations supplying data is gratefully acknowledged by BREE.

Note on mine production data

In most instances, data refer to actual mine output. However, in a small number of cases, despatches or sales data are used as proxies for production.

Quantities of minerals produced are reported in terms of the product in which they leave each mine site. This includes various stages of ore dressing, processing and elementary smelting where these are carried out in an associated plant at, or near, the mine. The output is recorded as ore where no treatment is undertaken at the mine, or as a concentrate where ore dressing operations are carried out.

9 Overview

 In 2011, Australia’s energy and mineral commodity export earnings increased by 15 per cent, relative to 2010, to $190 billion.  The index of export prices of energy and mineral resources increased by 14 per cent in 2011, compared with 2010, reflecting higher prices for most commodities.  Export volumes increased for most commodities in 2011, compared with 2010, including for iron ore, bauxite, copper, manganese ore and concentrate, and thermal coal.  Australian production of energy and mineral resources was higher in 2011 than in 2010, with around half of the commodities covered recording higher production.

Prices

In 2011 as a whole, the index of export prices for Australia’s energy and mineral resources (export unit returns) increased by 14 per cent, relative to 2010. Export unit returns for energy minerals increased by 20 per cent in 2011, relative to 2010, in line with higher contract prices for thermal coal and metallurgical coal. An increase in average prices for crude oil and uranium in 2011 also contributed to an increase in the export unit returns for energy commodities.

The index of metals and other minerals prices in 2011 increased by 9 per cent, year- on-year, reflecting higher average export prices for most metals and minerals, including for iron ore, copper, and gold.

In the December quarter 2011, the index of export prices of Australia’s energy and mineral resources (export unit values) fell by 2 per cent compared with the September quarter 2011. Export unit values for energy minerals increased by 1 per cent, as higher prices for crude oil and thermal coal were offset by lower prices for metallurgical coal. Metals and other minerals export unit values decreased by 5 per cent reflecting lower prices for iron ore, aluminium, copper, and zinc.

Production

Around half of the commodities covered recorded higher production in 2011 than in 2010. In 2011, production of iron ore increased by 13 per cent, relative to 2010, underpinned by higher iron ore production from the Pilbara region in Western Australia. In 2011, refined copper production increased by 12 per cent, relative to 2010, supported by operations at BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam returning to full production. The increase in production at Olympic Dam also contributed to a 10 per cent increase in copper mine production. In 2011, production of mined nickel increased by 26 per cent, relative to 2010, as a result of higher production from BHP Billiton’s Nickel West and Western Areas’ Spotted Quoll and Forrestania operations. Refined nickel class 1 production also increased in 2011, rising by 6 per cent, relative to 2010.

10 Significant production declines occurred for diamonds (24 per cent); crude oil and condensate (15 per cent); mined lead (13 per cent); iron and steel (12 per cent); refined gold (9 per cent); and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) (6 per cent); alumina (3 per cent); intermediate nickel (3 per cent); and saleable black coal (2 per cent). Production of crude oil and condensate was lower in 2011 reflecting a planned outage on the North West Shelf associated with the Cossack, Wanaea, Lambert and Hermes (CWLH) redevelopment project. Refined gold production fell in the year, reflecting fewer imports of scrap for subsequent refining in Australia.

Around two thirds of commodities recorded production increases in the December quarter 2011 compared with the September quarter. In the December quarter, production of iron ore and refined gold increased strongly, with production rising by around 7 per cent for both of these commodities. Increased production was also observed for mined nickel (13 per cent); mined silver (12 per cent); refined lead (9 per cent); mined copper (7 per cent); copper blister (7 per cent); refined copper (6 per cent); refined zinc (6 per cent); and crude oil and condensate (4 per cent).

Declines in production occurred for iron and steel (31 per cent); lead bullion (25 per cent); diamonds (16 per cent); refined nickel class 1 (10 per cent); mined manganese (8 per cent); LPG (7 per cent); and gas (7 per cent). The decrease in iron and steel production is largely attributable to BlueScope Steel, which last year shut down one of its blast furnaces at its Port Kembla operation.

Exports

Total export earnings from Australia’s resources and energy exports in 2011 increased by 15 per cent, relative to 2010, to a record $190 billion. Earnings in 2011 represent a record for a calendar year and follow the previous export earnings record of $166 billion in 2010. Higher export earnings were recorded for the vast majority of resources and energy commodities. However, the increase in the value of total export earnings for the year was moderated by an appreciation of the Australian dollar which averaged US$1.03 in 2011, 12 per cent higher than in 2010.

There were significant increases in export earnings for a range of commodities, including: iron ore and pellets, up $10 billion (20 per cent) to $59 billion; metallurgical coal, up $2 billion (6 per cent) to $31 billion; thermal coal, up $2 billion (18 per cent) to $16 billion; liquefied natural gas (LNG), up $2 billion (16 per cent) to $11 billion; crude oil and other refinery feedstock, up $1.3 billion (11 per cent) to $12 billion; copper, up $1.2 billion (16 per cent) to $9 billion; and, gold, up $818 million (6 per cent) to $15 billion.

Higher year-on-year export earnings for many of these commodities reflected both increased export volumes and higher export prices.

Notwithstanding the increase in total export earnings, commodities that recorded year-on-year declines in export earnings in 2011 included: iron and steel, down $311 million (22 per cent) to $1.1 billion; manganese ore and concentrate, down $136 million (9 per cent) to $1.4 billion; liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), down $112 million

11 (10 per cent) to $969 million; and refined silver, down $92 million (39 per cent) to $144 million.

Export earnings from energy and mineral resources decreased by 2 per cent to $51 billion in the December quarter 2011 compared with the September quarter, despite a 4 per cent depreciation of the Australian dollar against the US dollar.

Commodities that recorded significant increases in export earnings over the December quarter include: thermal coal, up $420 million (10 per cent) to $4.7 billion; refined gold, up $302 million (8 per cent) to $4.2 billion; crude oil and other refinery feedstock, up $228 million (7 per cent) to $3.3 billion; alumina, up $89 million (7 per cent) to $1.5 billion; lead, up $121 million (23 per cent) to $655 million; and, nickel, up $75 million (8 per cent) to $985 million.

Commodities that recorded significant declines in export earnings in the December quarter include: iron and steel, down $193 million (56 per cent) to $151 million; petroleum refinery products, down $130 million (59 per cent) to $90 million; aluminium (ingot metal), down $81 million (8 per cent) to $965 million; and LPG, down $63 million (24 per cent) to $202 million. The decrease in export earnings from iron and steel, petroleum refinery products and LPG reflected lower export volumes for these commodities in the December quarter 2011. Commodity highlights

Energy

Oil and gas

Australia’s crude oil and condensate production fell by 15 per cent in 2011, relative to 2010, to total 22.8 billion litres. Cyclone and flood related disruptions during the March quarter, and a planned outage associated with the CWLH redevelopment project during the June and September quarters resulted in production declines.

In 2011, Australia’s crude oil and condensate exports decreased by 11 per cent, relative to 2010, to 18 billion litres. Despite the fall in export volumes, Australia’s crude oil and condensate export earnings increased by 11 per cent, relative to 2010, to $12.3 billion, due to higher oil prices.

Australia’s crude oil and condensate production rose by 4 per cent in the December quarter 2011, relative to the September quarter 2011, to 6 billion litres. Increased production reflected the completion of the CWLH redevelopment project on the North West Shelf and production from the Kitan project in the Bonaparte Basin, which commenced operations in October 2011.

In the December quarter 2011, exports of crude oil, condensate and other refinery feedstock increased by 6 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to 4.8 billion litres. The increase in export volumes reflects greater production from the Carnarvon and Bonaparte basins, where the majority of production is exported to Asian

12 refineries. The value of crude oil, condensate and other refinery feedstock exports increased by 7 per cent, relative to the September quarter 2011, to total $3.3 billion.

In 2011, Australia’s gas production contracted by 1 per cent, relative to 2010, to total 51.3 billion cubic meters. Lower production reflected planned maintenance on the North West Shelf LNG facility during the second half of 2011, weather related disruptions in the Cooper Basin and declining output from fields in the Carnarvon Basin. In 2011, LNG exports remained unchanged at 18.9 million tonnes. LNG export earnings increased by 16 per cent, relative to 2010, to total $11.1 billion, underpinned by higher LNG prices.

In the December quarter 2011, Australia’s gas production decreased by 7 per cent, relative to the September quarter 2011, to 12.3 billion cubic meters. The decrease in production was largely underpinned by lower output from the Gippsland Basin, in line with lower seasonal demand, and from the Cooper Basin following unplanned shutdowns and adverse weather conditions. LNG export volumes decreased by 3 per cent to 4.5 million tonnes in the December quarter. The fall in export volumes reflected lower production at the Darwin LNG facility. LNG export earnings increased by 5 per cent to $3.1 billion in the December quarter.

For 2011 as a whole, saleable black coal production decreased by 2 per cent to 348 million tonnes. The decrease in coal production is largely attributable to weather related disruptions in Queensland in late 2010 and early 2011. Over 2011, exports of metallurgical coal decreased by 16 per cent to 133 million tonnes, while thermal coal exports increased by 4 per cent to 148 million tonnes. The decline in metallurgical coal exports was the result of weather related production losses in Queensland where the majority of Australia’s metallurgical coal is produced. Export earnings for metallurgical coal in 2011 increased by 6 per cent to $31 billion, as lower export volumes were offset by higher prices. Thermal coal export earnings increased by 18 per cent to $16 billion, reflecting higher export volumes and prices.

Production of saleable black coal remained largely unchanged in the December quarter 2011, compared with the September quarter. In the December quarter 2011, metallurgical coal exports increased by 5 per cent to reach 37 million tonnes while thermal coal exports increased by 4 per cent to total 41 million tonnes. Export earnings from metallurgical coal increased by around 1 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to $8.9 billion in the December quarter. The value of thermal coal export earnings in the December quarter increased by 10 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to $4.7 billion.

Uranium

For 2011 as a whole, uranium mine production decreased by around 1 per cent, relative to 2010, to 6942 tonnes of U3O8. This was attributable to a 30 per cent decrease in production at ERA’s Ranger mine after heavy rainfall in December 2010,

13 which was offset by a 44 per cent increase in production at Olympic Dam where a repaired main shaft allowed a return to regular production.

In 2011, export volumes increased by 2 per cent, relative to 2010, to 7017 tonnes. Higher average contract prices led to uranium export earnings increasing by 16 per cent to $705 million.

Australia’s production of uranium (U3O8) decreased by an estimated 2 per cent in the December quarter 2011, relative to the September quarter, to 2019 tonnes. The small change reflects a decrease in production at BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam mine.

The volume of uranium exports for the December quarter 2011 decreased by 2 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to 2019 tonnes. The value of exports increased by 2 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to $219 million in the December quarter, due to a small increase in the uranium price.

Metals and other minerals

Iron ore

For 2011 as a whole, iron ore production increased by 13 per cent to 488 million tonnes, supported by higher production from the Pilbara region in Western Australia. The increase in iron ore production reflects record production at mines operated by BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, and the Fortescue Metals Group.

As a result of higher production, iron ore export volumes increased by 9 per cent to 439 million tonnes. In 2011, export earnings from iron ore increased by 20 per cent, relative to 2010, to $59 billion because of higher production and increases in average iron ore contract prices.

In the December quarter 2011, iron ore production increased by 6 per cent, compared with the September quarter, to 135 million tonnes. Export volumes increased by 4 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to 122 million tonnes in the December quarter. The value of iron ore export earnings in the December quarter decreased by 4 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to $14 billion, due to a decline in the contract price.

Australian gold mine production in 2011 fell by 1 per cent, compared with 2010, to total 258 tonnes. Reflecting a decrease in refined gold produced from imported scrap, the volume of Australian gold exports fell 7 per cent to 308 tonnes in 2011. The high price of gold over the course of 2011 underpinned a 6 per cent increase in the value of Australian gold exports, compared with 2010, to $14.6 billion.

In the December quarter 2011, Australian gold mine production fell by around 1 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to 64 tonnes. Gold export volumes increased by 3 per cent to 81 tonnes, underpinned by exports of refined gold

14 produced from imported scrap. The value of Australian gold exports increased by 8 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to $4.2 billion in the December quarter.

Copper

Copper mine production in 2011 increased by 10 per cent, compared with 2010, to total 958000 tonnes. Refined copper production increased 12 per cent, relative to 2010, to 477000 tonnes in 2011. The most significant factor behind this increase was BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam operation returning to full production following a planned outage at the on-site smelter and refinery. Consistent with increased production, copper export volumes (in metal content terms) increased 7 per cent, relative to 2010, to total 905000 tonnes in 2011. Higher export volumes and average prices for copper resulted in a 16 per cent increase in the value of Australian copper exports, relative to 2010, to total $9 billion in 2011.

In the December quarter 2011, copper mine production increased by 7 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to total 251000 tonnes (in metal content terms). Refined production increased 6 per cent, relative to 2010, to total 121000 tonnes in 2011. Copper export volumes in the December quarter, increased by 17 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to 256000 tonnes. Quarterly export earnings for copper remained at around $2 billion, underpinned by higher export volumes in the December quarter.

Nickel

In 2011, nickel mine production increased by 26 per cent, relative to 2010, to total 212000 tonnes. The growth in nickel production primarily reflects higher output from BHP Billiton’s Nickel West and Western Areas’ Spotted Quoll and Forrestania operations. In 2011, refined nickel production increased by 9 per cent, relative to 2010, to total 110000 tonnes. This growth was underpinned by higher production of class 1 and class 2 at Queensland Nickel’s Yabulu refinery. Nickel export volumes in 2011 remained unchanged at around 217000 tonnes. Nickel export values were also largely unchanged, relative to 2010, at around $4 billion, due to relatively stable export volumes and Australian dollar nickel price.

Refined nickel production in the December quarter 2011 decreased by 9 per cent, relative to the September quarter, largely reflecting lower class 1 production at BHP Billiton’s Nickel West Kwinana refinery. The volume of nickel exports increased by 1 per cent relative to the September quarter to total 57000 tonnes in the December quarter. The value of nickel exports increased by 8 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to $985 million in the December quarter.

Zinc mine production increased by 2 per cent, relative to 2010, to total 1.5 million tonnes in 2011. This was supported by increased production at a number of mines across Australia including Kagara’s Mount Garnet mine, Perilya’s Broken Hill mine and Xstrata’s McArthur River Mine operations. Refined zinc production increased by

15 2 per cent, relative to 2010, due to greater availability of refinery feedstock, to total around 507000 tonnes in 2011.

Export volumes of zinc increased by 6 per cent, relative to 2010, to total around 1.6 million tonnes in 2011. However, export earnings from zinc increased at a more moderate rate of 3 per cent to total $2.4 billion in 2011, because a stronger Australian dollar partially offset higher world zinc prices and export volumes.

Australia’s mined zinc production in the December quarter 2011 totalled 393600 tonnes, a decrease of 2 per cent from the September quarter. Zinc export volumes (in metal content terms) increased by 16 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to total 441000 tonnes. Zinc export values in the December quarter increased by 9 per cent, relative to the September quarter, to total $639 million, as higher export volumes offset weaker world zinc prices.
