This data guide illustrates the current understanding of the distribution of these key resource types within the north Bowen Basin region based on trusted information sources. It provides important contextual information on the north Bowen Basin and where additional details on discovered resources can be found. The north Bowen Basin contains 17 metallic mineral deposits, with the majority containing gold. The basin also contains 152 thermal and metallurgical coal deposits. Most coal deposits contain metallurgical coal. This basin contains most of Queensland’s metallurgical coal resources, although many of the deposits supply a mix of thermal and metallurgical coal (Blake et al., 2018). The north Bowen Basin hosts very large coal tonnages, with known black coal resources of approximately 47 billion tonnes. Significant hydrocarbon resources are known to exist in the basin, the majority being coal seam gas (CSG). The basin contains more limited reserves and resources of conventional oil and gas and oil shale. At this time, there are no active or planned CCS projects in the basin. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[146.0, -27.0], [152.0, -27.0], [152.0, -19.0], [146.0, -19.0], [146.0, -27.0]]]} 146.0 152.0 -27.0 -19.0 Australia CCS Coal Discovered resources EARTH SCIENCES Geology Hydrocarbons Minerals North Bowen Basin Published_External TEGI Trusted environmental and geological information Download the Report (zip) [1.40 MB] documentDigital Download the Report (zip) [1.40 MB] ZIP
