About NQMA
The North Queensland Miners Association (NQMA) represents the interests of all professional miners, large or small, throughout the vast area of North Queensland stretching in a line from south of Townsville west to the Northern Territory border and taking in the whole of Cape York.
Our role is to ensure all miners and the mining industry are represented and involved in matters that affect miners across North Queensland — from legislation changes to keeping government mining laws fair and workable, while maintaining access to minerals for all.
