Asia Pacific is one of the world's leading mining regions, endowed with abundant reserves, strong domestic demand and expanding downstream processing demand. According to the U.S Geological Survey (USGS), Asia Pacific accounted for 56.6% of total rare earths reserves in 2025, 42.3% of nickel reserves, and significant shares of reserves of lead (22.9%), zinc (20%), manganese (16.5%), iron ore (12.8%), silver (10.9%), gold (10.5%) and lithium (10%), among others. Despite its resource wealth, the industry faces persistent challenges, including infrastructure gaps, policy uncertainty, and rising operational costs.

Asia Pacific remains a dominant force in the global mining industry, underpinned by strong output in coal, iron ore and a wide range of critical and industrial metals. The region leads global coal production, accounting for the majority of the production, supported primarily by China, India and Indonesia, together accounting for 72.7% of global output. Despite ongoing renewable energy transition challenges, coal continues to play a central role in the region's energy security and industrial demand.
