RE:Mine Regulation in Western AustraliaHopToad wrote: The State of Western Australia came out first in the 2015 Fraser Institute's Survey of Mining Attractiveness Index. There were one hundred or so companies listed. Mining is Western Australia's main industry. It creates jobs and taxes. Gold mining should be expected to be another jewel in the crown for Western Australia. Certainly we can expect some regulation, but we shouldn't expect it to be a deal-buster.
And it looks like the gold royalty increase has been knocked on the head!
