Australia is a land rich in natural resources, and we have often benefitted from the richness these resources provide us. As a major trading country, we are also economically dependent on these mineral and energy resources — particularly iron ore, uranium, and natural gas.
Given that we depend on these resources so much, economic downturns and the end of the mining boom in 2012 have shown just how much Australia relies on traditional mining projects.
Concerns about depletions and scarcity of resources, along with environmental considerations, have made it abundantly clear that new mining solutions and technologies are required if Australia is serious about the future of the industry.
In today’s Daily Reckoning Australia, James Cooper evaluates the flood of pessimistic sentiment coming from analysts and economists, why history is not on the side of mainstream forecasters, and provides his take on iron ore and the Chinese economy.

So it’s important that you’re aware of this impending boom as an investor…
In today’s Daily Reckoning Australia, a lesson is to be learned from Australia’s whale oil history that explains why the current push to renewable energy is illogical, at least for right now. It isn’t a popular take, but history shows that governments driving investment decisions based on arbitrary targets is a recipe for disaster. Read on to see why…
In today’s Daily Reckoning Australia, imminent danger is looming with no investment in new discovery. The forgotten field of exploration and why it means we no longer have the luxury to choose between fossil fuels OR renewable energies. Instead, we need to accept a future that lacks both. Read on to find out more…
Gold may seem like a strange choice for inclusion in a series of articles on the future of money. Observers are well aware that gold has served as money — usually the best form of money — for more than 3,000 years of civilisation and perhaps longer.
