Mining and Minerals Interpretation

Western Australia is less a state and more a geological ATM, supplying over half the world's seaborne iron ore, nearly all of Australia's gold and nickel, a commanding slice of global lithium and bauxite, and an economy so robust that its mining sector, employing a tenth of its workforce, doesn't just contribute to the coffers—it essentially *is* the coffers, generating over half the state's wealth with enough metal in the ground to keep the machines humming and the royalties rolling in for generations.
