The mining industry has a significant contribution to the country’s economy. It ranks 3rd in the largest mineral producers of Southeast Asia. The major minerals out of over 5000 deposits include coal and iron ore, phosphate, titanium, bauxite, and mineral construction materials.

The industry is majorly dominated by coal, with almost 8 billion tons of coal reserves. It’s also the primary energy source in the domestic market, powering the cement and power industry. The government demands downstream process and higher value production from the sector as it aims at exploiting the full potential of the sector in the interests of the economy.

There is plenty of potential in the country as far as mining equipment is concerned, and Camamach has got you covered with world-class equipment at reasonable rates.
