"he Australian mining industry is flourishing and is the core of the Australian economy, despite the ongoing pandemic. However, the sheer amount of work being done in Australia’s exploration and mining industries has impacted on laboratory processing times, resulting in long turnarounds.

"has also found it challenging to get equipment, such as drill rigs, for all of its Australian projects. In addition, the drilling companies were often only able to provide one drill crew. Before the pandemic, drilling companies were able to provide 2 crews to offer double shifts, so current productivity is also halved in some cases."
