Mining Sector Outlook
==> picture [271 x 339] intentionally omitted <==
Australia’s resource and energy exports are forecast to reach $450 billion in 2022-23, surpassing last year’s record of $422 billion in 2021-22. Driving the current surge in resource and energy is a spike in commodity prices and Australian dollar weakness to US dollar. Since June 2022 metallurgical coal prices have declined however thermal coal and other energy resources remain high.
Australia is well placed in the global push towards low emission and transition technologies: export of metals used intensively in low emission technologies (namely copper, nickel and lithium) are expected to more than double in 2022-2023
Excelsior sales of couplers and glands in particular are aligned to the mining and infrastructure sectors both of which have performed well through 2022 and forecast to continue to grow in 2023. It’s mining customers who purchase underground plugs used in thermal and metallurgical coal, copper and gold miners operating underground its expected to remain robust. The new hybrid couplers in FY2022-2023 will expand plug sales into the open-cut above ground mine sector.

Infrastructure Project Spending Outlook
==> picture [198 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
Excelsior is positioned to benefit from the Australian Government’s record levels of large scale infrastructure and development projects in energy, roads, rail, tunnels, construction and renewable applications. Cable, couplers and components are used widely in large scale . industrial projects
The Federal Government stated in its final Budget that infrastructure funding contributed towards a record $120 billion 10-year infrastructure investment pipeline which has been supported by the new Albanese Government commitment of investment in transport infrastructure projects. This record investment creates new opportunities for company's like CMI Electrical with the government rolling out large infrastructure projects to 2036.
Some of these projects include high-speed rail in NSW, suburban rail projects in VIC, high-way upgrade program in QLD and TAS as well as light-rail in ACT.
