Queensland has a significant global source of critical minerals and rare earths with the potential to become a leading producer and exporter of new-economy minerals.

The Queensland Government is delivering common user infrastructure at the Cleveland Bay Industrial Park in Townsville to support the development, extraction and production of critical minerals.

The Queensland Resources Common User Facility will be located at the Cleveland Bay Industrial Park in Townsville. The facility will be a hub to trial production processes for commercialisation, enabling prospective miners to begin producing mineral samples at scale.

The aim is to accelerate the development of commercial mining projects, promote investment in advanced mineral manufacturing opportunities and enable development of supply chain and supporting industries in Queensland.

The facility will be able to:

pilot production processes and research intermediate / end products

train staff on equipment, processes and handling hazardous materials

produce samples for customers

assess potential by-products, waste streams and recyclable materials

demonstrate processes at scale to validate commerciality and technical viability to secure finance, investor interest, off-take agreements and partnerships
