Based in Australia, the new exchange is initially focused on Australia and the Pacific region, but plans to soon expand its geographical scope to include Africa, North and South America and Europe.
MiningXchange, an independent business-to-business (B2B) exchange developed by a combined Asian e-business effort known as Unifize, is intended to be an open, neutral marketplace Oracle's B2B exchange technology, Oracle Exchange.
The marketplace will provide participants online auctioning, reverse auctioning, contract and spot buying capabilities, as well as collaborative supply chain planning functionality that facilitates accurate capacity and demand planning for members.
"The Oracle Exchange will give all members the ability to streamline and lower operational costs and eliminate supply chain inefficiencies," said Oracle Australia's regional managing director Phil Kiely.
During its initial phase, MiningXchange will target up to 600 buyers and suppliers in the Asia Pacific mining sector with its own Market Participating Acquisition Team.
"Along with the rationalization that is currently underway in the mining industry, the development of eMarkets, such as MiningXchange, is set to fuel the pace of change and profitability in the industry through enhanced process performance and supply chain optimization," said John LaVacca, Australasian eMarkets leader of PricewaterhouseCoopers, who provided business planning and strategy advice.
"The launch of MiningXchange offers greater industry choice in what is set to be the largest emerging opportunity in B2B e-business in the future," he said.
