South Australia continues to play a major role as a supplier of copper, iron ore, uranium and mineral sands. In fact the mineral resources sector generates $5.386 billion in production value that drives our State's economic development and provides $207 million a year of royalties to help fund government services. Deputy CE of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet Paul Heithersay and CE of the SA Chamber of Mines and Energy Rebecca Knol talk about how we can unlock the full potential of our state's resource endowment.
