Mines are located all over Australia. Mining has been one of oldest professions of Australia. Some of the oldest mines in Australia date back to late 1700s. Australian mining industry started to grow, when European settlers starting quarrying and shaping the Hawkesbury sandstone for making buildings at the newly established Sydney Cove.
Coal was discovered in the continent by escaped convicts in the year 1791 in the Newcastle area. Many more deposits of coal were subsequently found at other centers to the North and South of Sydney. Many metallic minerals, especially gold were found by shepherds and convicts in the early 19th century, but the British laws at that time did not encourage gold mining. The first metal to be mined in Australia was lead from the Glen Osmond hills in 1841. The gold rush began in Australia in the early 1850s, when payable gold was discovered by John Lister and William Tom at the junction of Lewis Ponds and Summer Hill Creeks.
Thereafter the mining industry has been growing at a tremendous rate in Australia. Large quantities of minerals and resources are extracted from Australians lands. Australia is one of the largest producers of iron ore, nickel, bauxite, copper, gold, silver, uranium, diamond, opal, zinc, coal, oil shale, petroleum and natural gas.
