Queensland urged to attract overseas capital for minerals
The Queensland Mines Department grants an authority to prospect 576 free smiles in the Cloncurry district to the National Lead Company of New York.

For Queensland the outlook is bright and the government is urged to seize opportunities to attract overseas investment to unlock vast, unexploited mineral areas.
