COBALT AND OTHER CRITICAL METALS IN TAILINGS OF MAJOR MINERAL DEPOSITS IN NORTH QUEENSLAND - OSBORNE MINE

The mine waste features at 9 sites in Queensland - Lady Annie, Capricorn Copper, Century, Osborne, Selwyn, Baal Gammon, Wolfram Camp, Mt Oxide and Pindora - have been sampled for new economy mineral exploration by researchers at the Sustainable Minerals Initiative funded by the Geological Survey of Queensland. At the Cu-Au Osborne IOCG mine, chemical assay data was provided by Chinova and mineralogical and mineral chemistry investigations were conducted on tailings collected from two tailing storage facilities at the site in this study.
