Australian Mineral Processing Plants with Location and Commodity Data

April 2026 snapshot of Australian facilities that process mined materials into usable products. The dataset was compiled by Geoscience Australia and its predecessor organisations. It provides location, plant type, processing types, processed commodities, and processing output for each plant, where known.

Use Cases

• Map industrial facility locations based on the provided location data
• Analyze commodity processing networks based on the processed commodities and plant type attributes
• Assess regional industrial capacity based on the processing output and plant type information

Strengths

• Data is compiled by the authoritative national geological agency, Geoscience Australia
• Snapshot is temporally specific, representing the state of facilities as of April 2026
• Includes multiple descriptive attributes like plant type and processed commodities

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling
