The Australian energy & resources sector is seen as the ‘shining star’ of the Australian economy.
Self-sufficient, the sector consistently punches above its weight and stabilises our economy. But to achieve net zero and transition away from fossil fuels, Australian companies need to look outside the box and turn to technology to drive the sector forward.

Sustainability: mining’s greatest aspiration
With demand for traditional resources like gold, iron ore, lead and nickel remaining steady and new critical and rare earth minerals on the rise, combined with an appetite for alternative energy sources to electrify Australia’s future, we expect existing companies to expand and new entrants into the market. From exploration through to rehabilitation, our experts offer advice and support that grows as you do.

Energy & Resources M&A activates the market

Aligned to our own findings in our 2022 Dealtracker, companies with a technology focus will drive activity in the sector into the future.

So with the recent Modern Manufacturing Initiative identifying critical minerals processing and rare earth minerals as a major growth area, how do we ensure we’re set up for a future of processing onshore?

Native title and Indigenous royalties
New sites and projects will need to be cognisant of native title rights and work closely with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to come to a mutually beneficial arrangement with the traditional custodians of the land.
Technology holds the key for the future of Energy & Resources
Carbon Sequestration. Robotics. AI. These are all things the Federal Government wants the Australian energy sector to invest in. However, with a disjointed energy sector and no national approach to a connection strategy, the power from the West remains separated from the East. How can the energy and resources sector use technology to bridge the divide and power Australia into the future?
