As we continue on our path toward a net-zero emissions future – today we can announce the launch of the Queensland Critical Minerals Strategy.
By transitioning from digging and shipping to processing, refining and manufacturing, we are future proofing the next generation of jobs.
In addition to the $68 million Queensland Resources Industry Development Plan and $75 million Queensland Resources Common User Facility (QRCUF), the Strategy will oversee a $245 million investment into growing the state’s critical mineral sector.
Given the vast reserves we have of critical minerals such as copper, zinc, vanadium and cobalt - it’s our time to really shine.
Carlye Sycz, Executive Director, Reform and Strategy speaks to what this means for our Department, but also for the State.
‘The Critical Minerals Strategy is about unlocking the next wave of resources investment in Queensland, to help supply the minerals and metals the world needs to decarbonise. The development of this Strategy has been about joint action, with the Resources team working across government and with industry and community partners on clear and practical steps that will drive investment across the State. We’re excited to continue these partnerships as we implement the Strategy!’
This is just another example of how team Resources continues to #deliver on planning the future of the industry, capitalising on our resources for a bright future.
