The Critical Minerals Rush: The Role of Queensland

Episode notes

Critical minerals are essential for future technologies such as electric vehicles, semiconductors, and renewable energy installations. Australia, and especially Queensland, has abundant critical mineral deposits to meet this demand. In this episode, we explore what Queensland has to offer in this vital industry. The first guest is Namali Mackay, managing director of Critical Minerals Association Australia. The level of progress in critical minerals in Queensland would not be possible without the support of the state government. The second guest is Paul Holden, the lead of Critical Minerals Queensland, a newly created office by the Queensland Government focused on advancing the potential of the state’s critical minerals sector.
