Key Messages
• Overall commodity prices have peaked (2011) and likely to moderate over the next five years and beyond.
• Price reductions likely to be more substantial in period 2020 and beyond due to large supply responses from Australian competitors.
• Australian export values are projected to increase in medium term, but underpinned by higher volumes

Mining Capital Expenditure
• Capital expenditures in mining industry totalled about $50 billion in 2010-11 ─ highest ever, 30% higher than in 2009-10 and about three times greater than annual average over past 30 years.
• Based on industry intensions canvassed in December quarter 2011 expected to exceed $80 billion in 2011-12.

Factors Affecting Investment
• Factors common to investment decision across the economy:– Macroeconomic conditions (interest rates, exchange
rate, etc.)– Government policies
• Factors specific to the mining sector or commodity:– probability of discovering an economic mineral
deposit or extending the resource base of a known deposit;
– current and expected future prices; – mining and processing technologies; and – input costs

Key Messages
• Advanced projects, exploration expenditures and mining capital expenditure are at historic highs.
• High levels of investment (real $) will last for next few years given the time it will take for some very large projects to reach completion.
• Over the longer term high levels of investment unlikely to be maintained if resource commodity prices continue to moderate.
