Australia plans mining centre of excellence in India.

Australia is ready to share the best technical services with India, and is looking to set up a Global Mining Centre of Excellence. The centre will be launched together with Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation next year.

The decision was one of the outcomes of the 12th International Mining and Machinery Exhibition (IMME) that saw participation from 14 Australian companies, 25 German and 40 Chinese ones, among others.

Quoting Melissa Carter, Trade Adviser to the Australian Trade Commission, the Confederation of Indian Industry said in a release that Australian mining experts are expected to train their Indian counterparts. These companies will also look at tie-ups with Indian firms to jointly explore opportunities in South Africa in the coming days.
