Uphando malunga namashishini oMgodi kunye noKwakha eOstreliya

Ukumbiwa kwemigodi kudala kwaba yintsika yoqoqosho lwase-Australia. I-Australia yeyona mveliso inkulu ye-lithium kwihlabathi kwaye ikwangumvelisi wegolide, i-iron ore, i-lead, i-zinc, kunye ne-nickel kwihlabathi liphela. Ikwanayo ne-uranium enkulu kwihlabathi kunye nemithombo yamalahle amnyama yesine ngobukhulu, ngokwahlukeneyo. Njengelizwe lesine ngobukhulu bemigodi emhlabeni (emva kweTshayina, i-United States, kunye neRashiya), i-Australia iya kuba nemfuno eqhubekayo yezixhobo zokumbiwa kwemigodi zobugcisa obuphezulu, nto leyo emele amathuba anokubakho kubaboneleli base-US.

Kukho iindawo zemigodi ezisebenzayo ezingaphezu kwama-350 kulo lonke ilizwe, apho malunga nesinye kwisithathu ziseNtshona Australia (WA), ikota enye eQueensland (QLD) kunye nesinye kwisihlanu eNew South Wales (NSW), nto leyo eyenza ukuba zibe ngamazwe amathathu amakhulu emigodi. Ngokwevolumu, izinto ezimbini ezibalulekileyo zezimbiwa e-Australia yi-iron ore (iimigodi ezingama-29) - apho i-97% yazo imbiwa e-WA - kunye namalahle (ngaphezu kwemigodi engama-90), embiwa kakhulu kunxweme olusempuma, kumazwe ase-QLD nase-NSW.
