Hear what leading industry figures are saying about the issue:

“One of the things that I’m really concerned about is the cost competitiveness of our industry because our industry doesn’t sell on the local market, it sells on the world market.”
Gina Rinehart, Executive Chair, Hancock Prospecting

“Improving competitiveness is a challenge shared by all participants with an interest in the success of the mining sector – producer companies, service providers, project managers, suppliers of capital equipment and governments all have a role to play.”
David Peever, Managing Director – Australia, Rio Tinto

“In the mining industry, we’re some 20 to 30 years behind other more progressive sectors in terms of productivity and business practices.”
Mark Cutifani, Chief Executive Officer, Anglo American

“There’s definitely stuff that can be done within companies themselves to improve their management systems, there’s definitely an opportunity for productivity and there’s opportunity for innovation and technology, and there’s an opportunity for capital efficiency.”
David Flanagan, Chairman, Atlas Iron
