Mining tenements are granted in order to maintain control of resources ownership and certain standards against which native title and environmental factors are measured. There are different types of mining tenements prescribed under the Mining Act 1978:

Queensland 

Queensland is Australia’s and one of the world’s largest producers of lead (2nd) zinc (3rd), and silver (5th), and in Australia for copper (2nd) and bauxite (2nd). The North West Queensland Mineral Province dominates base metal production and is a major gold and phosphate rock producer.

North Queensland produces bauxite and silica sand, and highly prospective for base metals, gold, tin and tungsten. 

Industrial minerals produced in Queensland include bentonite, kaolin and ceramic clays, diatomite, dimension stone, dolomite, feldspar, gypsum, limestone, lump silica, magnesite, mineral sands (rutile, ilmenite and zircon), perlite, salt and zeolite.

The following table lists those infrastructure projects that have been declared 'prescribed projects' by the Queensland Government Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning
