- The Miles Government continues to invest into the state's growing critical minerals industry with the launch of the Queensland Critical Minerals Prospectus
- This state first is paired with a new online hub to attract investors seeking to take part in Queensland's new industrial revolution.
- It is backed by the Queensland Government's $315 million Queensland Critical Minerals Strategy.
Queensland's burgeoning critical minerals industry is on display to the world with the launch of two new initiatives today.
The Queensland Critical Minerals Prospectus showcases projects ready for investment at different mining stages.
This information is complemented by details of Queensland's critical mineral sector, including known endowments, and the actions the Miles Government is taking to accelerate the development of this sector.
The prospectus is backed by the Critical Minerals Investor Hub, a new online tool connecting potential investors with government agencies as well as proponents of projects already in development.
Profiling and promoting Queensland is a key action from the $315 million Queensland Critical Minerals Strategy.
Queensland is rich in the critical mineral resources needed to make the technologies required to make the shift towards a greener low-emission economy.
As stated by the Resources and Critical Minerals Minister Scott Stewart:
"Queensland is in the box seat to capitalise on the global push to decarbonise because quite simply, we've won the geological lottery," he said.
"Our message is simple: there's no better place to invest in critical minerals than in Queensland.
"We have the critical minerals below the ground and our ambition is to go beyond just mining these resources but to also process them and manufacture the renewable energy technologies like wind turbines, solar panels and storage batteries right here in Queensland.
"We are already working with proponents to make this industry a reality but the prospectus we've launched is about building on that momentum.
"That's why we've also launched the Critical Minerals Investor Hub, a one-stop portal for those wanting to make Queensland a part of their investment portfolio.
