Queensland companies have won funds to dig, drill, sample, and survey for new critical mineral deposits right across Queensland. The latest Collaborative Exploration Initiative (CEI) round provides funding of up to $300,000 to 18 projects across regional Queensland including near Chillagoe, Cloncurry, Mount Isa and Townsville. Funding has been given to projects prioritising the discovery of critical minerals which are needed to help make the solar panels, turbines, batteries and other technologies the world needs to decarbonise. Nearly three quarters of all successful projects are involved in the discovery of new copper deposits, an essential resource for many types of clean energy. The State Government committed $22.6 million over five years to the CEI program under the Queensland Resources Industry Development Plan to support Queensland's exploration companies fast-track our state's critical mineral discoveries. The CEI program compliments Queensland Critical Minerals Strategy which oversees $245 million in investment to transform the state, national and global economy through the responsible use of Queensland’s critical minerals. It also builds on the State Government’s $5 billion Copperstring 2032 project which will help unlock potentially $500 billion of critical mineral projects in the North West Minerals Province. Program data will be made public to help encourage more critical mineral discoveries in Queensland. Pic. TNC

A comprehensive due diligence roadmap can ensure risk assessment and risk mitigation along the entire project continuum.

Exploring Infrastructure Dynamics Reflecting on the diverse landscape of infrastructure projects worldwide, it's fascinating to observe the nuanced approaches taken in different regions. In mainland China, projects like mining tailing ponds, landfills, and reservoirs stand out for their scale and efficiency. With vast areas to cover, construction often unfolds at an impressive pace, completing installations in mere months. Comparatively, projects in places like Hong Kong adopt a different rhythm. Take landfills, for instance. While a project of 100,000 m2 might be divided over 2-3 years, installation and operation together. These disparities highlight the intricate interplay between regulatory frameworks, environmental considerations, and societal needs.

$1.5 billion loss. Mineral rights can cost you big time. Jillian Ballard, our Director of Projects at TerraPro Solutions, authored an awesome article about mineral rights in North American Clean Energy magazine. It’s entitled: Don’t Jeopardize Your Title. What’s above the ground and what’s below the ground, and who owns the rights to either, is extremely important, especially in some areas of the country. Jillian lays out a worst-case scenario for a wind project that failed to get proper mining approval for a 150-megawatt project. A federal judge ordered the removal of the project. That may cost the developer nearly $1.5 billion. Can you afford that type of risk? There are four ways to mitigate and prepare for mineral rights on your renewable projects: 1. Preliminary research Work with your landowners. They know the land, and they can provide historical context. 2. Due diligence and title search Get your title company involved as early as possible. 3. Negotiating with mineral rights owners Mineral rights owners usually understand their ownership well. Build strong relationships and find a good path to common ground. 4. Recording as protection Those who record first get priority. It helps inform everyone, especially other developers, that you have the priority. 5. Request a combined commitment and proforma This combines all the curative work you might have performed on the title work. If you want to discuss this complicated topic see all of us at RE+ Events! We want to connect to discuss what you are seeing on your projects. Will you be at RE+? Are you seeing any mineral issues on your projects? Link: https://lnkd.in/gcwPkxhq

Are your projects safe? A wind project was forced to shut down because the developer overlooked mineral rights - and now they're facing a massive financial loss. Here’s what you can do: ⚡Research early 👉 landowners often know hidden risks ⚡Get title work done ASAP 👉 don’t wait ⚡Negotiate with mineral rights holders 👉 before it’s too late ⚡Record everything 👉 protect your project Discover more 🔎 https://lnkd.in/dC6uYrJJ #RenewableEnergy #RenewableProjects #WindEnergy #MineralRights #LandOwnership #Sustainability #ProjectDevelopmentSolved RE+ Events

The Queensland Government has announced another $5 million in funding for Round 9 of the Collaborative Exploration Initiative (CEI). CEI supports mineral exploration programs that are technically sound, innovative, address vital knowledge gaps, and contribute to the discovery of minerals in Queensland needed as the world decarbonizes, through both the exploration program itself and the public data generated as a resource for other explorers. The maximum award is capped at $250,000 (excluding GST) per program. There is no requirement for co-funding, however, only eligible direct activity costs will be reimbursed. Companies can apply for funding for multiple projects, with the maximum cumulative award for multiple successful applications capped at $400,000 (excluding GST). Applications need to be submitted by 11 December 2024. We have helped clients with navigating the process and have had success in the past, so if you are interested in applying, contact Measured Group at tenures@measuredgroup.com.au and we can provide more information on the eligibility criteria, application requirements and timelines.

The Perfect Test Case   The recent call by the European Commission directly to critical mineral project holders, presents Euro Sun Mining the opportunity to potentially fast-track the present Romanian mine permitting process if the project is deemed strategic.   When completed, Euro Sun Mining’s submission to the European Commission to have their Rovina Valley Project listed as a strategic project presents a perfect test case for European Union (EU) Executive consideration.   There simply is no energy transition or net zero proficiency for Europe without copper. In addition to this, the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) legislates that at least 10% of the EU’s annual demand for copper will be obtained domestically by 2030.   Factors which contribute towards the project's case to be listed as strategic include: 1.    With only 5 years remaining to achieve the CRMA, development of the Rovina Valley Project, holding the second highest measured resource for copper in Europe, supports this ambitious target. 2.    The project meets all ESG standards and in addition, uses no cyanide and wet tailings in the processing. The project’s terrestrial footprint is small, it will replant x3 any vegetation lost, and has the backing of local communities. 3.    The project has been extensively evaluated technically over many years and meets all necessary submission criteria    4.    The project creates significant economic benefit for Romania’s Hunedoara County and offers strategic partnerships with increased trade between Romania and other European countries. 5.    Project accountability and transparency are ensured as the operation is within EU borders with governance oversight. #CRMA #energytransition #copper #greenenergy #sustainability
