Australian Mineral Fields' initial focus area is Western Australia, which is one of the world's most productive and diversified mineral regions. More than 21% of the State's GDP (more than twice that of any other industry) is derived from gold, nickel, iron ore and other mining activities. Most Australian gold production comes from Western Australia. Its shares of global minerals and energy production totals include:

• Alumina 17%
• Iron ore 17%
  
• Nickel 15%
• Diamonds 14%
  
• Gold 7%
• LNG 7%

Many international sources, including the Fraser Institute, also consider Western Australia to be one of the world's most favourable districts in the world for exploration for the speed and ease with which mineral exploration companies can secure leases with a high degree of security with respect to assets.
