INTRODUCTION
Mining and manufacturing are one of the growing industries in Australia. Both the industries are
providing a huge scope of growth to the organisations available in the market. Both mining and
manufacturing industries make an effective set of contribution to the economy of the country.
Hence, a research is being conducted which will help in gaining more in depth information
related with both the industries. Several literatures will be reviewed and analysis of various set of
factors will be done. Researcher will include the information of three mining companies and
three manufacturing companies which will help in delivering clearer picture about the industry.
The research will also help in understanding that which industry is growing more effectively.
Information related with the methods of data collection and the research techniques will be
provided by the researcher with the effect of which target users available in the market will be
able to gain better information related with all the aspects of the research.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Literature review is the section which will help in gaining information from various secondary
sources of information. This section of the research will help in developing more effective and
better set of understanding with the research topic (Lodhia & Hess, 2014). Mining and
manufacturing are the innovative, productive, competitive and sustainable industries for
Australia which are helping the same in developing current and future prosperities of the
country.
Mining Industry
Mining is one of the most growing sectors in the market of Australia which is helping in the
growth of the country and is providing a better set if services as well as opportunities for the
growth. According to Francis Emma, 2015 it is being identified that 6,539 Australian mining
inventions were filed between the years 1994-2011 (Trudinger, Trudinger & Ralph, 2012). Data
resulted with the mining industry indicated METS sector was the primary Filer which was
followed by the operating miners and then it was followed by the publicly funded entities.
Reason behind it was that the operating minors available in the market were primarily
concerning the innovative and new methods of processing the Ores, especially in the process of
refining of the ores and production of the Iron or Steel.
Researchers have researched that Australia is the country which has a world’s largest reserves of
lead, nickel, uranium and zinc (Sunderland & Selin, 2013). It is being estimated that the minerals
industry had contributed at least 10% to the GDP of Australia in 2012-2013. Industry has
employed over the quarter of the million Australians. In the recent years a boom is being
undertaken in the mining industries of Australia which has created a high level of the demand for
the development of technology and systems (Palit, 2015). In these technology and system
industries many of the companies have indulged in the lucrative enterprise in both national as
well as in international market.
There are many of the mining industries which are growing in present time in the market of
Australia (Osborn, 2014). Some of the most known names in the mining industry are BHP
Billiton, Greenland mineral and energy Ltd. and Rio Tinto. These are some of the mining
