Australia has a long history of mining with advanced technologies - with the government and mining companies aiming for ecological restoration, pursuing a sustainable development - and Australian experts and business representatives shared their experience on sustainable mining at the China Mining 2013 event, held in Tianjin on Nov 3.
Alan Morrell, Senior Trade Commissioner of the Australian Trade Commission, discussed ecological restoration, saying that, after mining projects are completed in Australia, the top soil must be restored. He also said that the authorities are responsible for making sure that local residents can live in the area after the project, and the country has also invested large sums in technology research to ensure the safety of the workers.
In addition, Morrell said there are some "very good examples of the cooperation between mining companies of Australia and China", and he gave the example of Worley Parsons, which cooperates with Chinese companies to do mining projects in South Africa.
He added: "I would like to see that in the future more Australian companies work with Chinese companies to develop our mining projects."
