Diversity is a key strength for Western Mining Corporation. An international
corporation with assets of about $A10 billion, WMC is engaged in both mining and
downstream processing of minerals including nickel, gold, alumina, copper and
talc, as well as having interests in oil and gas production and agricultural
fertiliser. The company is focusing on several core commodities that will
maintain its strength in the years ahead. Although most current mineral assets
are within Australia, it plans to have 25 per cent of its operations off-shore
by the turn of the century, and be a major producer in at least six core
commodities. WMC's strategic and management focus has shifted from a regional
approach to a commodity focus so that it can more readily cater for different
markets with differing sensitivities.
