  • Resource Projects
    Western Australia’s principal resources projects, 2019-20 In 2019-20, Western Australia had 123 principal mining projects. Each of the principal mining projects is export-oriented and high value. They each had mineral sales valued at more than $5 million (or more than 2500oz of gold), or, in the case of projects on private land, for which sales are not reported, has employees of greater than 50. Projects are grouped according to main commodity sold. The State’s mining industry also comprised hundreds of quarries and small mines that largely produced the basic raw materials required for the local construction industry. This includes clays, construction materials (aggregate, gravel, rock and sand), dimension stone, gypsum, limestone, limesand and spongolite. There were 10 principal producers of these products. There were also 13 major mineral processing operations to transform bauxite into alumina; gold dore into gold bars; nickel ore into nickel concentrate (where accepting third party fee) and nickel concentrate into nickel matte, nickel powder and nickel briquettes; rutile and synthetic rutile into titanium dioxide pigment; zircon into fused zirconia; and silica sand into silicon metal. Western Australia’s petroleum industry consisted of 22 projects that produced oil, gas and condensates from 53 fields in onshore and offshore areas of the State. These projects had 13 processing plants, predominantly for LNG exports and domestic gas sales. The attached tables below provide details of the State’s principal mining projects, principal producers

The March quarterly rebalance is the most comprehensive review of S&P/ASX indices, where each index portfolio from the S&P/ASX 20 through to the All Ordinaries index is reviewed in order to maintain a representative index suite. A full stock free-float review is also conducted at the March rebalance. S&P/ASX index methodology, together with sensible index governance, has limited the scope of index constituent changes despite severe market conditions. “Despite major volatility within the Australian market, the smoothing of stock-price information inherent in our methodology has limited the number of constituent changes to the S&P/ASX 200 portfolio,” said Simon Karaban, associate director at Standard & Poor’s Index Services. “We have maintained the cost-effectiveness of passive investment portfolios by successfully limiting index portfolio turnover within a volatile environment.” S&P/ASX 20 - No Change S&P/ASX 50 ADDITIONS FMG FORTESCUE METALS GROUP LTD LEI LEIGHTON HOLDINGS LIMITED WOR WORLEYPARSONS LIMITED REMOVALS AIO ASCIANO GROUP ALL ARISTOCRAT LEISURE LIMITED CNP CENTRO PROPERTIES GROUP S&P/ASX 100 For personal use only ADDITIONS TSE TRANSFIELD SERVICES LIMITED REMOVALS SIP SIGMA PHARMACEUTICALS
