Mining, resources and energy
The quality and extent of Queensland resources, our reliability of supply, sustainable mining practices and supporting technology put us at the forefront of global resource supply.
- Queensland is recognised globally as a leading destination for mining and resources investment and as Australia’s gateway to Asian markets.
- Queensland’s diverse geology and resource potential place it second in the world for seaborne coal exports, second for lead production, third for zinc and bauxite production, and fifth in the world for silver production.
- By the end of this decade, Queensland is projected to be the world’s leading liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer.
Abundant natural resources
Queensland’s abundant natural resources include more than 30 billion tonnes of coal deposits as well as metals, phosphate rock, oil shale and minerals.
Our multi-billion dollar mining and resources sector is actively helping to fuel the world.
