QUEENSLAND NEW ECONOMY MINERALS COMPILATION - COBALT

URL: https://geoscience.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/cr125726

This study, conducted by the Sustainable Minerals Institute - SMI - as part of the Queensland Government New Economy Minerals Initiative - NEMI, reviews the seven key mineral deposit types known to host cobalt mineralisation globally, typically as a by-product, and their high-level prospectivity within Queensland. On the basis of a process model approach, a mineral potential assessment outlines between two to five priority areas, with accompanying rationale, in which to explore for each of these deposit types. The datasets utilised for the exercise and the consequent target zones are provided, where they are available and distributable, as a GIS package.
