Australia’s mining sector has built a reputation as a world leader in the Mining Equipment Technology and Service (METS) sector. In the mining sector, Austrade is working closely with Egyptian entities to identify opportunities for Australian companies in the following projects. Talks between Australian companies and Egyptian stakeholders and concerned state agencies are ongoing, and an agreement is hoped to be reached soon. We are aware that Australian companies raised in the past a number of issues regarding mining regulations, particularly around mining investments. Australian companies such as Worley Parsons and Gourmet Egypt are making in-roads in their industries, and Australian gold mining company Centamine is the largest mining outfit in Egypt.
