Case study: Collaborative Exploration Initiative
The Collaborative Exploration Initiative (CEI) supports innovative mineral exploration by providing grants to companies undertaking higher-risk exploration activities, or activities in previously under-explored areas of Queensland, particularly the North West and North East. Extension of the popular initiative is a practical way of facilitating new exploration activity, offering the potential for new discoveries and identification of future mineral provinces.
The CEI could identify new reserves of critical minerals which are expected to be a fundamental resource needed as the global economy transitions, particularly for the manufacture of renewable energy components and batteries.
