The Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) plays a key role in improving understanding of Queensland resource potential and attracting exploration and investment in the resources sector. This guide describes our aims and activities.
GSQ creates and distributes exploration and resource investment information and presents at national and international events. They also raise awareness of Queensland prospectivity through new geoscientific information and manage industry exploration grants through the Future Resources program.
GSQ collects and provides geoscience data, information and advice on Queensland mineral resources and resource potential through a range of geoscience projects and initiatives.
They support the energy industry of the state by collecting and providing geoscience data and advice on coal, coal seam gas, petroleum, including unconventional petroleum, oil shale and geothermal energy.
They make mineral and energy geoscience data and information available to industry and government through their publications, maps and digital data products.
The Exploration Data Centre (EDC) at Brisbane and the John Campbell Miles Drill Core Storage Facility at Mount Isa house geoscience data and information dating back to the mid-1800s. The collections include drill core and cuttings from the Department of Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) and company exploration programs, and samples from GSQ mapping fieldwork. The EDC also provides HyLoggerTM scanning services.
