The data sourced for Projects / producers – original data compilation by GSQ – Georesources Intelligence (2024). The data sourced from GSQ Mineral Occurrence Database – extracted from the last published version of the database (Queensland Mineral Occurrence Data - Queensland Mineral Occurrence Data - Dataset - GSQ Open Data Portal), limited to the deposits and mineral occurrences with identified accumulations of the selected critical minerals, as primary or secondary commodities.
December 2025 - Data supplied via email as excel spreadsheet. Using FME to convert to a spatial layer and update the metadata. Deposits has been consistently limited to the selected critical (+-strategic) minerals March 2026 - Update to data to remove values in Deposit size - Commodity 3 if there was no value for Deposit Commodity 3.
March 2026 - Update field lengths to accommodate missing data. also update some of the commodities for spelling errors or using full names instead of acronyms such as REE for Rare Earth Elements
