Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/01/2015 -- Australia's mining sector is set to suffer the painful spillover effects of a prolonged period of weak mineral prices, in part resulting from a sharp investment slowdown in China. Australia has been among the biggest beneficiaries of the China-led commodities boom over the past decade, attracting huge amounts of investment into the minerals space. Driven by China's voracious appetite for key commodities such as coal and iron ore, the value of Australia's mining industry had increased by more than six-fold from USD24bn in 2003 to USD154bn in 2013.

As a result, this has seen the sector's share of GDP rising from 4.5% to 10.2% over the same period. However, the boom years in the mining industry are over. With China's economy on course for a continued slowdown over the coming years and mineral prices set to remain low, Australia's mining sector will suffer the painful spillover effects.
