The number of committed mining and energy projects in Australia has increased by 21 per cent over the past year.<\/p>\n

A rise in copper, gold, nickel and other minor commodity prospects has lifted the amount of overall committed projects to 47, according to the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science\u2019s latest\u00a0Resources and Energy Major Projects<\/em>\u00a0report.<\/p>\n

Publicly announced projects (58), as well as projects moving to the feasibility stage (139), also increased over the past 12 months, in line with higher exploration expenditure and higher resource and energy commodity prices, the report added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the past few years have been characterised by cutting costs to ensure the commercial viability of existing assets, 2017 has seen some renewed optimism for market conditions and increased producer interest in brownfield expansions and new projects,\u201d the report explained.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s gold sector added several newly committed projects in 2017, including Dacian Gold\u2019s Mt Morgans project in Western Australia, Gascoyne Resources\u2019 Dalgaranga project in WA and Diversified Minerals\u2019 Dargues Reef project in New South Wales.<\/p>\n

Two copper projects were also approved \u00ad\u2014 OZ Minerals\u2019 Carrapateena project in South Australia and Capricorn Copper\u2019s Mount Gordon project in Queensland.<\/p>\n

Coal, meanwhile, has the highest number of committed projects amongst Australia\u2019s key mining commodities with nine \u2014 all of which are in Queensland and NSW.<\/p>\n
