Tax implications of buying a mining company on a foreign stock exchange?

I am a US citizen. If I bought a mining company on the Australian stock exchange, are there tax implications that I need to consider?I'm using Interactive Brokers.

 

If I do sell for a realized capital gain/loss, are the rules the same as it is for normal US stocks? Will Turbotax take care of it for me or will I have to manually intervene to convert to USD currency? I'm hoping that 1099 import to Turbotax will take care of the complication. Not sure if I need to file taxes with the Australian taxing agency.

 

Not sure if the below applies since I plan to buy a mining stock.
