Australia and Coal and Mining...
- One of the world's leading mining nations, Australia has substantial mineral resources.
- Australia is the second-largest export market behind Canada for U.S.-manufactured mining equipment.
- The total market size for mining equipment is valued at over US$5 billion and the industry imports 70% of its equipment (the U.S. enjoys a 35% market share of these imports).
The Philippines and Coal...
- Has about 19 coal ditsricts that contain significant coal deposits, estimated to amount to about two-thirds of a billion metric tons combined in these areas.
- In 2006, the Philippines' in-site coal reserves stood at 323.3 metric tons, or about a 3% increase from its target.
- Coal power plants and plants running on imported fuel combined account for about 50% of the total installed capacity of power generation in the Philippines.
- Domestic coal production is estimated to yield an 11.7% increase in the next 10 years.
