About the Julia Creek Project – Unlocking Queensland’s Critical Minerals Potential
QEM Limited (ASX:QEM) is focused on the exploration and development of the Julia Creek Vanadium and Energy Project, a unique world class critical minerals resource.
The Company’s flagship Julia Creek Project currently holds a 2,867Mt Vanadium JORC Resource with an average V2O5 content of 0.31%, with 461Mt in the Indicated category and 2,406Mt in the Inferred category, making it one of the single largest Vanadium deposits in the world, with the added benefit of a contingent (SPE-PRMS 2018) in-situ oil resource of 6.3 MMbbls of Oil equivalent in the 1C category, 94MMbbls in the 2C category, and 654MMbbLs in the 3C category, contained within the same ore body.
The globally significant vanadium pentoxide resource contained within oil shale at the Julia Creek Project, represents an opportunity for development. In short, QEM seeks to reap the rewards of multiple commodities from a single deposit.
The Julia Creek Project Location
QEM’s tenements, which cover 249.6km² in the Julia Creek area of North Western Queensland, Australia, form part of the vast Toolebuc Formation, which is recognised as one of the world’s largest deposits of vanadium and oil shale. In close proximity to all major infrastructure and services, the Project is intersected by the main infrastructure corridor of the Flinders Highway and the Great Northern Railway, connecting Mount Isa to the Port of Townsville.
This unique world-class deposit, provides QEM with the opportunity to supply critical markets such as energy storage, the global steel industry and the liquid fuels sector.
