Far North Mining Potential Highlighted at Cairns Conference

A MULTI-billion dollar bounty of resources is sitting on the doorstep of Cairns waiting to be explored and mined.

More than 180 delegates at a conference were told yesterday of the enormous potential on the Tableland, in the Gulf of Carpentaria and on Cape York.

The deposits include gold, diamonds, silver, tin, tungsten, bauxite, kaolin, marble, silica, coal, coal seam gas, oil, iron ore and uranium.

Bremar Minerals director Brett Duck said some of the mines and areas were known, many were not.
