Critical Minerals Group - Megawatts to Minerals

Join the North Queensland Branch for their April tech talk: Critical Minerals Group - Megawatts to Minerals.

About this event

The Critical Minerals Group (CMG) is the 100% owner of the Lindfield project, a 295km² tenement in Northwest Queensland located near the town of Julia Creek.

As one of the leading Vanadium prospects in Australia, this project has a JORC 2012 Mineralised Resource Estimate of 713mt at 0.32% V205, 3.4% Al2O3 and 130g/t Mo, with over 68% of this in the Indicated category.

Demand is growing for renewable energy across the world. As our markets shift towards wind, solar and geothermal production, the need for safe and reliable energy storage is powering significant growth in Australian vanadium mining.

Increases in vanadium consumption are largely due to Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFB), an energy storage solution that provides a stable, reliable and cost-effective alternative to lithium batteries.

This market expansion is excellent news for the new energy economy. It also presents opportunities in the mining, research and manufacture of vanadium batteries. With vanadium earning a Critical Minerals classification from the Australian Government, the local industry is forecast to become a major player on the global market, and CMG is well-positioned to make the most of the shift.
