Despite the early history, much of South Australia remained unexplored compared to other mining provinces. Over the past decades the government has sought to develop the potential of the mining industry in South Australia. The PACE (plan for accelerating exploration) initiative was implemented in April 2004 as a strategy to stimulate investment in mineral and energy exploration. Since, South Australia has experienced a mining boom, with exploration profit achieving a ten-fold increase to reach $355 million in 2008, as opposed to the target of $100 million by 2014.

The 2nd Annual SA Resources & Infrastructure Conference will focus on mining and exploration potential in South Australia and also the infrastructure required to support the mining boom.

Some of the topics will include:

• Mining and Exploration activities and potential in SA
• Strategic Infrastructure Plan for SA 2004/5 - 2014/15
• The challenge of exploring land in SA
• The 2011 Infrastructure Demand Study
• The South Australian Economy and Strengthening Investor confidence to attract investment to the SA Market
• Strategies on financing core infrastructure
• Roads, Rail and Ports – what’s happening & what’s needed
• Build, own and operate your own desal plant
• Electricity Infrastructure to service the needs of the growing resources sector
• Building Communities in developing mining areas
• 3rd party access to infrastructure
• Carbon Conscience – legislation update and what is means
