SILICA PROJECT DIVERSIFYING ECONOMY✨

Great opportunity for our CEO Jennifer Spilsbury to address Advance Cairns member organisation Silica Resources Australia and its delegation in Cairns on Thursday.

Their Mourilyan Silica Sands project, about 100km south of Cairns, is part of FNQ’s critical minerals sector, which is growing in significance to our economy.

Thank you to SRA’s Chair Peter Lansom (pictured with Jen) and CEO Robert Tindall for the invitation to speak and for providing an update on this exciting project. 🙏

The potential flow-on effects of this mine, just 27km from the Port of Mourilyan, will help to position our region as essential in the global supply chain for critical minerals.
