Australian miners encouraged to tap into Latin American mining sector

Australia’s Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove has called for greater collaboration between the Australian mining sector and its respective counterparts in Latin American countries. Speaking at the Paydirt Latin America Downunder conference, in Perth, Cosgrove noted that commerce between Australia and Latin America now exceeded the A$10-billion mark, with nearly 400 Australian-operated exploration and mining operations to be found in Latin America.
