FILES-AUSTRALIA-TAX-MINING
(FILES) This photo taken on March 4, 2010 shows Remote-controlled stackers and reclaimers moving iron ore at Rio Tinto's Port Dampier operations in Western Australia's Pilbara region. Australia said on April 2, 2010 it would impose taxes worth billions of dollars on mining companies to ensure the profits of an Asia-driven commodities boom were shared fairly. Voracious demand for commodities such as coal and iron ore from China and elsewhere in Asia has seen Australia ride out the global downturn in better shape than any other advanced economy. But the government said the state royalties paid by companies such as BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto had not kept pace with surging profits and needed to be revised to ensure the benefits of the boom were shared with the nation.
