The NSW Minerals Council (NSWMC) is a not for profit, peak industry association representing the State’s $20 billion mining industry.
NSWMC provides a single, united voice on behalf of its 100 member companies: 40 full members (producers and explorers), 25 associate members (junior explorers) and 35 associate members (service providers) and works closely with government, industry groups, key stakeholders and the community to foster a dynamic, efficient and sustainable mining industry in NSW.
NSWMC is committed to healthy working conditions, strong growth, responsible environmental practices and vital regional communities throughout the state.
The primary focus of NSWMC is on state issues but the organisation also works closely with the Minerals Council of Australia and the Australian Coal Association (both based in Canberra) on national policy issues.
NSWMC also has close working relations with other State and Territory minerals and resources associations and other major industry associations. These links not only ensure appropriate co-ordination on policy issues but also minimise duplication of effort.
