Australia’s new iron ore website: Get the Facts

The Minerals Council of Australia has today launched a new website to help better inform the community about Australia’s iron ore industry.

The website – ironorefacts.com.au – provides factual information on Australia’s $75 billion iron ore export sector and addresses some of the myths that have been peddled in recent weeks about the industry.

While there is vast amounts of publicly available data about the sector, ironorefacts.com.au provides an easily accessible platform to better understand the industry.

Australia’s iron ore industry has been one of the nation’s great economic success stories over the past 50 years. It has delivered hundreds of billions of dollars in royalties and taxes and directly employs over 60,000 Australians.

None of this has happened by accident. It has taken a vast effort and investment to develop this jewel in Australia’s economic crown, which is the envy of the world.

It is an industry that all Australians can be proud of.
