Mining gold, with major operating mines in the Pine Creek area (including Mt. Todd), the Tanami Desert and the Tennant Creek area; manganese on Groote Eylandt - one o f the worlds four major producers o f high grade ore; zinc, lead and silver, including one o f the worlds largest known ore bodies at M cArthur River; and less significant reserves o f bismuth, copper, diamonds, mica, molybdenum, palladium, platinum, tantalite, tin and tungsten. As shown in Figure 8.2, mineral production declined in 1992/93 due to a combination of lower production quantities in most minerals and subdued world commodity prices. Mineral production is estimated to increase 10% in 1993/94, underpinned by the commencement of production at Mt. Todd gold mine in mid year together with improved commodity prices spurring increased production levels.
