hit the reset button

As with the miners and explorers they provide support to, mining service providers and contractors have been hit hard by
poor commodity prices and volatility in the global economy.

Many services companies and contractors have fallen off the perch in recent times as activity in the global resources
industry has come to a grinding halt and existing operators demand cost reductions in order to keep operations open.

However, so far in 2016, investors have demonstrated a willingness to dig deep for mining companies and to mid-May
almost $1 billion had been raised on the ASX alone for mining and exploration companies.

Lithium and gold players have been the major beneficiaries of capital raisings and it is hoped the warmth in which these
players are being received by investors will flow into other commodities.

While full recovery would appear some time away yet, there are at least signs the rest of 2016 will be better for miners
and explorers than 2015.

So, as miners start to reconsider ramping up production and possible expansion programmes and explorers to get busy
on the ground, services companies and contractors are beginning to be called upon once again.

The pool of services companies and contractors may be smaller than it was this time last year, but it can be assured that
the companies still standing will be doing their utmost to provide the best quality service to its clients to stand out from the
pack.

In our annual feature, Paydirt has scoured the globe to find Australia’s best services companies and contractors in in-
ternational markets.
