Responsibly mining minerals and metals needed for modern life
NSW has a growing minerals mining sector due to our world-class deposits of gold, copper, silver, nickel, lead, zinc, cobalt, lithium, mineral sands, rare earths and more.
We already have top mining operations producing metals and minerals like copper, gold, silver and zinc. And we’re planning for the future, with metals such as cobalt and lithium that will be needed for a range of new technologies, and to produce batteries.
Along with our high-quality low-emissions coal for energy and making steel, these metals and their application to almost everything we need show that our mining industry in NSW has a big future ahead.
So here's some more information about some of the key metals and minerals in NSW and what they are used for.
