This data guide illustrates the current understanding of the distribution of these key resource types within the Galilee Basin region based on trusted information sources. It provides important contextual information on the Galilee Basin and where additional details on discovered resources can be found. The Galilee Basin region contains 6 known metallic mineral deposits, with most of these containing the critical mineral vanadium. There are 17 coal deposits found in the basin containing thermal and metallurgical coal. The primary form of coal in the deposits is thermal coal. The Galilee Basin hosts large coal tonnages, with known black coal resources of approximately 33 billion tonnes. The Galilee Basin and overlying basins are known to contain significant hydrocarbon resources. The majority of the known hydrocarbon resources are found in the Julia Creek oil shale deposits located in the Eromanga Basin above the Galilee Basin. Moderate coal seam gas (CSG) resources have also been identified in the basin; however, conventional gas resources are more limited. At this time, there are no active or planned Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects in the basin. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[140.0, -28.0], [149.0, -28.0], [149.0, -19.0], [140.0, -19.0], [140.0, -28.0]]]} 140.0 149.0 -28.0 -19.0 Australia CCS Coal Discovered resources EARTH SCIENCES Galilee Basin Geology Hydrocarbons Minerals Published_External TEGI Trusted environmental and geological information Download the Report (zip) [1.35 MB] documentDigital Download the Report (zip) [1.35 MB] ZIP
