Geoscience Australia provides information on the nation's future capacity to produce mineral resources. Australia's Identified Mineral Resources is an annual nation-wide assessment of Australia's ore reserves and mineral resources. All major and a number of minor mineral commodities mined in Australia are assessed. Australia's economic demonstrated resources (EDR) of the following mineral commodities increased during 2005 - bauxite, cobalt, diamond (gem and industrial), iron ore, manganese, nickel, rutile, silver, uranium, zinc and zircon. EDR of black coal, copper, gold and tantalum decreased in the same period. EDR for brown coal, magnesite, molybdenum, niobium, platinum group metals, shale oil, and vanadium remained at levels similar to those reported in 2005. Increases in EDR were due to on-going drilling and evaluation of known deposits resulting in the transfer (re-assessment) of resources from inferred or sub-economic categories into EDR, and discoveries of new deposits or extensions of known deposits. A few mining companies re-estimated ore reserves and mineral resources more conservatively, notably in regard to black coal, to comply with the requirements of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code).
