Equity analyst Jon Mills explains how the change in Chinese government restrictions impacts Australian Miners.

Australian shares are set to raise after Wall Street gains on Friday. 

Ausbil engaged with the mining giant four times before it decided to pull away. 

Investors may have to consider mining companies in their portfolio, despite their history of controversies.

Trust is crucial to the miner’s ESG credentials but also its ability to extend and develop new mines, says Morningstar’s Mat Hodge.
