.............................................................................................................................71 iv 1 Executive Summary The Wide Bay Burnett Region has a diverse range of mineral resources. The Wide Bay Burnett Resources Group has sought to better understand the current most prospective resources in the region for development, as well as any support, infrastructure and clustering gaps and opportunities which may enable more projects to progress to production. The Terms of Reference are provided at Appendix 4. This work has been undertaken in two parts, Volume 1, summarises the current projects and infrastructure as at mid August 2020 and provides a summary of the key commodities and market analysis for these commodities. Appendix 3 provides a Glossary of Terms. Volume 2 provides further detail of geology, mining and tenement histories and commodity analysis, as at June 2020. The industry is dynamic in terms of turnover of tenements in particular, and any data ought to be checked for currency if being relied upon at a future date. During the research for this (primarily)
