Our Vision
The Queensland Exploration Council (QEC) is an initiative of the peak representative body for Queensland’s minerals and energy developers – the Queensland Resources Council (QRC).
The QEC was formed by QRC in 2010 after the Global Financial Crisis when it was near impossible for an explorer to access the capital required to get their projects off the ground.
With endorsement from the Queensland Government, minerals and energy explorers, service providers, business and academic research communities, the QEC aims to:
- attract more exploration investment to Queensland; and
- promote the role of the exploration industry, and in particular, its importance to regional,
state and national economies.
The QEC’s vision is to support Queensland explorers on their pathway to production. Today the not-for-profit QEC has over 100 members and three proactive Working Groups reflecting the diversity of the exploration community in Queensland.
