While in Washington DC, the delegation will engage with key industry players, government officials, and investment agencies to reinforce Queensland’s position as a stable and attractive destination for resource investment.
In Canada, the delegation will attend the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Convention where more than 27,000 attendees from over 135 countries gather to explore emerging opportunities.
“Queensland has world-class coal, gas and oil reserves, and this trade delegation will deliver a clear message to global investors, government officials and industry leaders: Queensland is open for business,” Queensland Minister for Natural Resources and Mines Dale Last said.
“The resources sector contributes more than $61 billion to our economy and supports more than 79,000 jobs, most of them in regional Queensland. We back Queensland mining families and their communities, and we want a pipeline of projects to ensure their future.”
The delegation is expected to hold talks with US Government officials from the departments of Defence and Energy, as well as with EXIM Bank – the country’s official export credit agency.
At PDAC, delegates will meet with international officials, political representatives and resources industry leaders.
