This publication contains analyses of data related to performance of domestic and international mining (iron ore, coal, copper, zinc, lead and nickel) supply chains. This study is focussed primarily on understanding the risks associated with road and rail freight activity and the movement of freight carrying raw mining commodities across Australia and other comparable economies. Key Australian freight metrics are benchmarked against Russia, Brazil, China, and the U.S. The National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy website can be found here: https://www.freightaustralia.gov.au/a-closer-look/international-supply-chain-benchmarking
