OSS services for WA's resources sector
Ensuring Connected Communications for WA’s Mining and Resources Sector
WA’s Mineral exploration expenditure reached a new high of $2.5 billion in 2021-22 with strong levels of spending on gold, nickel, copper, rare earths and lithium. Interest in the resources sector – according to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation, and Safety – remains strong with $24 billion invested during 2021-22, and there were around $57 billion of resources projects under development.
Suffice to say that the mining and resources sector is a big and important contributor to the WA economy and we at Open Systems Support are honoured to be the Managed Services and IT partner for many local mining and resources companies.
