NSW Minerals Council's Stephen Galilee said that the awards highlighted the importance of mining in fostering growth in regional communities by providing jobs and investment.
"Our Industry and Suppliers' Awards highlight the vital role mining plays in NSW, particularly the contribution our industry makes to regional communities. We had outstanding entries for the awards this year, reflecting the quality of our state's world-class mining sector," Mr Galilee said.
"Over 40,000 people work in mining in NSW, and coal, copper and gold are our state's most valuable exports. NSW also relies on our sector for its energy needs, with our coal helping to generate around 80 per cent of NSW electricity."
Minister for Regional New South Wales, Industry and Trade John Barilaro delivered the keynote address at the dinner, and praised the contribution mining makes to the state's economy and regional communities.
