 Mining in Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mining in Australia is a significant primary industry and contributor to the economy of Australia and encouraged immigration to Australia.
Australia's population changed dramatically as a result of the rushes: in 1851 the population was 437,655 and a decade later it was 1,151,947; the rapid growth was predominantly a result of the new chums (recent immigrants from the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth states) who contributed the 'rush'.
Australia is the world's largest exporter of coal (35% of international trade), iron ore, lead, diamonds, rutile, zinc and zirconium, second largest of gold and uranium, and third largest of aluminium.
