The Queensland Government has launched a four-year critical minerals plan backed by $146 million to accelerate the extraction, processing and export of the state’s strategic resources. Delivering Queensland’s Critical Minerals Future 2026–30 outlines the state’s ambition to become a globally recognised supplier supporting secure and resilient international supply chains. Queensland holds significant reserves of critical minerals, as well as established processing and refining capabilities, a skilled workforce and decades of mining expertise. It is also designed to strengthen Queensland’s sovereign industrial capability and establish the state as a preferred destination for new critical minerals investment. “We have the resources, industrial capability, energy and, importantly, the will to deliver critical minerals to the world and get this done.”
