BOOM: Record mining exploration investment. Picture Jessica Schapiro.
QUEENSLAND has attracted a record $1 billion in mining exploration investment, Mining Minister Stirling Hinchliffe has told a major mining conference in Brisbane.
Mr Hinchliffe's comments come on the back of numerous mining exploration permits advertised in The North West Star over the past few years.
In the Star's October 19 edition there were 11 exploration permit notices.
Mr Hinchliffe said the investment was an outstanding performance and underpinned Queensland's international reputation as an attractive exploration investment destination.
"It's a great result for Queensland and it sends a clear message to investors that we are well and truly open for business," he said.
