Develin Creek
Overview

The Develin Creek Project is located approximately 90km west of Rockhampton in Queensland. The Project consists of two tenements, EPM 17604 and EPM 16749 for a total area of 272km2.

On 30th September 2024, QMines completed the 100% acquisition of the high-grade Develin Creek copper & zinc project from Zenith Minerals Limited (ASX:ZNC).

Several high-grade Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) copper-zinc deposits including Sulphide City, Scorpion and Window deposits. Close proximity to QMines Mt Chalmers Project bodes well for the potential future development of the combined resources.
