WA remains Australia’s top resources destination

More than half of Australia’s mining investment expenditure was invested into Western Australia during 2014, Mines and Petroleum Minister Bill Marmion announced on Monday. The value of Western Australia’s resources sector reached A$114-billion during the full year, eclipsing 2013’s value by A$200-million. Iron-ore and gold jointly accounted for 85%, or A$73.7-billion of the value of mineral sales during the year.
