INDUSTRIAL MARKET RESEARCH (IMR) QLD

            PRINCIPAL MINING INDUSTRY

                    RESEARCH AREAS

IMR has partnered with key stakeholders in the

Mining Industry since 2010 to provide an 

innovative Market Research service involving 

ongoing studies in the following defined

industry sectors :

-         Coal

-         Minerals / Base and Precious Metals

The studies are designed to obtain up to date

information from Mining Companies in New

South Wales and Queensland provided in Summary Report

and Database formats in the principal subject areas of :

-         Mining Operational Equipment :                                                                   PRINCIPAL STAKEHOLDERS

          Current Equipment - Extraction, Processing, Materials Transfer

          .  Brand , Model / Proposed Upgrades                                                 Organisations providing Endorsements for the ongoing

           Electrical Equipment / Infrastructure -                                         IMR annual mining sector study process  are :-  

           Proposed Rebuild / Upgrades / ($) Expenditure

           Mining Services : Principal Services Areas /                                       CSIRO Energy Divison -Coal Research Program                           

           .  Current Contracts / Term / Contract Renewal Dates

         .  Communications Systems Utilised - Surface and Undeground                                                                           

         .  Proposed Operational Development areas :                                          

              Medium Term : 3-5 Years / Long Term : 5-10 Years

         .  Proposed initiatives relating to the Digital Transformation / Monitoring

            of mining operations.                                          

THE ONGOING COLLECTION OF THE ABOVE BASELINE INFORMATION PROVIDES THE INDUSTRY SUPPLY CHAIN WITH THE BASIS OF ASSESSING THE FUNDAMENTAL MARKETING PARAMETERS OF :

*                      MARKET SHARE,          MARKET PENETRATION,           MARKET SIZE,             MARKET GROWTH 

      

MUTUAL BENEFIT TO MINING COMPANIES AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN

The underlying objective of sourcing information in each of the principal subject areas of the studies is to produce an outcome that provides a Mutual Benefit to both Mining Companies and end users of the results of the research.

The benefit to Mining Companies over time will be significantly improved Information Flow in the industry not only relating to the operation and maintenance of current equipment and resources but also proposed areas of growth and the uptake of New Technology and Innovation.

The benefit to the industry Supply Chain of providing an ongoing survey / study process is to allow access to a source of high quality resource Baseline Information.  This  will allow manufacturers and suppliers to significantly improve their focus on the product and service requirements of principal mine sites in the Coal and Minerals / Base and Precious Metal Sectors.

 FUTURE DIRECTIONS - IMR RESOURCE SECTOR STUDIES

It is proposed to introduce additional annual studies in the following Australian Resource Sector areas in 2024 :

-         Minerals Sector : Western Australia

 SUMMARY

Mining operations in all their forms constitute a substantial part of the nations commercial activity.  The process of monitoring the ongoing updating of the operational resource base within principal Mining Sites in each State and reporting on specific areas of proposed development is essential to achieving the objective of :

Significantly improving Information Flow between Producers and the industry Supply Chain.’

-  Per Minerals Council of Australia Future Sustainability Core Objective.
