China Remains a Top Focus: Australian Mining Minister

"If just Western Australia was a country by itself, it would be: the largest producer of iron ore, the second-largest producer of gold, and second-largest producer of LNG in the entire world," says Bill Johnston, Western Australia's Minister for Mines and Petroleum, Energy, Corrective Services and Industrial Relations. "Gold is enormously important in Western Australia and we're proud of our strong gold story," he tells Daniela Cambone at the Gold & Silver reception during PDAC 2023. "It's great to see these other materials like lithium and nickel rising up and getting much more attention in recent quarters," Johnston states. "We have a stable regulatory environment, making it easy for international investors interested in allocating with us," he continues. "We are very strongly partnered with China in a range of metals. We believe we still have strong relationships with them and we see them as an important partner and a major customer," Johnston concludes. Video by Stansberry Research's Daniela Cambone.
