2024 QEC Exploration Scorecard

The Queensland Resources Council (QRC) and the Queensland Exploration Council (QEC) are pleased to present the 2024 QEC Exploration Scorecard. This publication is an important barometer of industry sentiment for future resources sector projects.

This is the 14th edition of the Exploration Scorecard, and we have accumulated a data set that tracks the key issues of concern and areas of opportunity for the exploration sector over this time. It’s the largest data set of its kind in Queensland and provides the trends needed to inform long-term decision-making and policy settings to position Queensland as a resources growth state.
