14.01.2022 The resources industry benefits all Queenslanders. As the world changes, we need a plan to ensure the resources industry remains strong, and that’s why the Queensland Government is planning for the future of the sector. Help shape the outcome by contributing to the Queensland resources industry development plan. Our resources, your say. Find out more at www.resources.qld.gov.au/qridp

12.01.2022 It was great to see so many of our industry leaders at last week’s launch of the Queensland Resources Industry Development Plan.

09.01.2022 Congratulations to MMG Dugald River who has reached a major milestone, producing and exporting one million tonnes of zinc concentrate.

08.01.2022 Vance Kelly is an integral part of the team responsible for delivering the Geoscience Data Modernisation Project. The Geoscience Information Team fits within the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) and plays a vital role in how the State’s geological data is received, managed, and supplied back to its end users. As the Principal Data Manager, I help the team follow best practice in managing the GSQ’s data, implement process to improve data quality and work across teams to ...ensure the various parts of the system integrate. Vance is nearing completion of the review of information that describes the long history of statutory industry reports submitted by resource tenure holders throughout Queensland. The resource regulation update in October 2020 established a 5-year confidentiality term on a range of industry reports that were previously held confidential until a tenure holder released their permit. As a result, we had to update our system to describe reports in accordance with the Acts and Regulation and to ensure all our new date calculations were correct. This has allowed for the automation of report open filing." 20,000 historic company reports are now available to industry. This newly available information will help operators in Queensland better understand our geology and resources - driving better exploration and production outcomes. https://linkdigital.com.au//geoscience-data-modernisation/ See more

04.01.2022 We are amazed by your knowledge on new economy minerals - I hope this new one is a little more challenging! What metal is this? Named after a villain from Greek Mythology. ... A rare, ductile blue grey metal that is highly resistant to corrosion and highly conductive to heat and electricity. Sometimes used as a substitute for platinum. It has a MOH’s hardness of 6.5. Australia is a major producer of this metal. Considered a ‘technology critical’ element used in mobile phones, DVD players, video game systems and computers. See more

04.01.2022 It’s raining rocks in Cloncurry!

What a find! Cloncurry Shire Council

01.01.2022 CEI grant recipients GBM Resources Ltd, are making great progress on their Mount Coolon Project in the highly prospective Drummond Basin. GBM is using modern deep-penetrating 3DIP methods (Zonge International) within the Eastern Drummond Basin to prove its viability and then support the application of the technique elsewhere within priority structural corridors. This is just one of many CEI projects currently underway across the State, supported by the Geological Survey of Queensland. @PeterRohner @GlobalOreDiscovery @GBMResourcesLtd
