The Queensland Critical Minerals and Battery Technology Fund's primary objective is to support businesses across the critical minerals supply chain.
From mining stage to the development of processing facilities and/or infrastructure, including the development and manufacturing of critical minerals, battery technology and advanced materials, the QCMBTF is set to position Queensland for the next critical minerals resources boom.
The QCMBTF is inviting expressions of interest from businesses that will:
- Deliver economic growth in Queensland
- Create Queensland-based jobs (although there will be no requirement to headquarter in Queensland)
- Support private infrastructure development to allow the growth of the critical minerals sector within Queensland
- Mine or refine critical minerals or manufacture advanced materials using critical minerals in Queensland
There are two streams of financial assistance available under the QCMBTF.
All applicants must meet the aforementioned benefits criteria and complete the relevant Expression of Interest (EOI) form for the desired stream/s of assistance.
