It represents companies involved in exploration, mining, gas, uranium, minerals processing and energy production in Queensland and has a current membership base of 145 companies. The stats on Queensland’s resources sector are just mind-blowing. The value of mining production in Queensland is $25.3 billion (coal = $18 billion, minerals/petroleum = $7 billion), which comprises more than 15 percent of the state’s economy. More than 40,000 people are employed directly by the industry, and combined with other jobs created by the sector, is responsible for one in every eight jobs in the state, making The sector is the largest employer in regional Queensland. It directly provides $1.45 billion dollars to the government in royalties, which is used to help build schools, roads, hospitals, and other community facilities and services. The revenues to government provided by the resource sector industries save each Queensland taxpayer about $1000 a year.
