Australian Organisations Make Case for Natural Capital Accounting in Resource Sector
Two organisations have collaborated on the release of a new suite of resources geared at helping companies in the Australian mining industry implement natural capital accounting (NCA).
The Cooperative Research Centre for Transformations in Mining Economies (CRC TiME) and CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, announced the news in a press release on Monday (July 15).
NCA is a means of “accounting for impacts on nature over the life of projects.” Mining companies of all stages are increasingly being asked to show how they affect the environment and mitigate their impact accordingly.
Funding for the suite of resources came from the Commonwealth Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), the initiator of the overarching CRC TiME NCA project.
Bryan Maybee, program leader at CRC TiME, said that risks to economic stability associated with changing climates and declining biodiversity “have generated calls for greater action from the private sector.”
“The prominence of NCA and natural capital assessment in responding to these calls for improved disclosure has accelerated considerably over the last decade,” continued Maybee, who is also associate professor of minerals and energy economics at Curtin University in Perth. “This has seen the emergence of numerous initiatives, frameworks, metrics and targets, all aimed at improving the consistency and comparability of reporting in relation to natural capital.”
Dr. Anthony O’Grady, a CRC TiME project manager and senior principal research scientist in CSIRO's natural capital group, described NCA as a key tool for understanding how the environment and economy interact.
He added that by improving disclosure and sustainability in mining companies, the industry can do a better job of showing environmental accountability — a characteristic many investors would like to see.
The suite of resources includes a business case that analyses the benefits of adopting NCA, along with an indicative roadmap. It also provides guidance on concepts, methods and reporting structures for NCA and risk assessment.
A comprehensive case study report can also be found in the suite. It presents synopses of pilot case studies testing the System of Environmental Economic Accounting-Ecosystem Accounting framework’s applicability in the Australian mining sector. These case studies assisted in the development of the business case and guidance materials.
“These reports have analyzed existing data to facilitate the development of the consistent approach that is needed across the mining sector,” Maybee said. Tests and demonstrations on the potential use of NCA information for strategic forecasting purposes in the mining sector are included in the report as well.
Other CRC TiME partners include Alcoa (NYSE:AA), BHP (ASX:BHP,LSE:BHP,NYSE:BHP), Curtin University, Hanson Construction Materials, Murdoch University, Syrinx Environmental and the University of South Australia.

Augustus Minerals Limited (ASX: AUG; Augustus or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has received commitments from institutional, professional and sophisticated investors to raise $1,667,500 (Placement).
- Augustus Minerals has received commitments to raise over $1.66m via a Placement.
- Proceeds from the capital raising will fund:
- Deep diamond drilling at the Minnie Springs Cu-Mo porphyry (supported by EIS drilling grant)
- VTEM (Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic) Helicopter program testing major Cu-Ni-PGE and Uranium targets
- Expanded soil and rock chip sampling program to progress new high-grade Gold and Copper targets to drill ready status
- Commence a program of extensive field work over the large 4-kilometer-long Supergene Carbonate hosted Munaballya Well Uranium Target.
- Exploration works are continuing over various targets along the highly prospective Ti- Tree Shear with drilling to commence this quarter.
Under the placement, AUG will issue up to 23,821,430 fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) at an issue price of $0.07 per Share. The Placement includes one (1) attaching unlisted option (Options) for every two (2) Placement Shares. The Options will be exercisable at $0.12 each expiring 2 years after the date of issue.
Funds raised through the Placement will be used for the following:
- Deep Diamond drilling at the very large Minnie Springs Cu-Mo Porphyry system to test the core of the system for high-grade Copper Sulphide mineralisation.
- The initial 2 x 700m deep holes planned for Q3, 2024 is with assistance from the co- funded Government EIS drilling grant of up to $110,000 as announced 2 May 2024.
- Success in the first two planned holes will justify additional diamond drilling to further expand the Minne Springs Porphyry system
- A VTEM airborne geophysics program testing the Cu-Ni-PGE potential at the Money Intrusion, the Coo Creek Broken Hill Style target and the Munaballya Well uranium U targets.
- An expanded soils/rock chip program to progress newly identified rock chip prospects to drill ready status and continue the exploration over as yet untested areas.
- Working capital and costs of the Placement.
GM Exploration Commented:
“The Augustus Board are very pleased with the overwhelming support for the placement and thank existing and new sophisticated investors for their support that positions the Company to advance exploration at the Ti-Tree project. The heavily oversubscribed placement demonstrates the strong interest in the EIS Supported drill program at the Minnie Springs Cu-Mo Porphyry system as well as continued exploration at the recently discovered Tiberius, Claudius, Justinian and South Snowy gold-copper-gold-silver prospects. The next six months will be an exciting period of exploration activity for the Company and the team are looking forward to the results”.
The Placement Shares will be issued utilising the Company’s existing Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A capacity. The Company will seek shareholder approval for the issue of Options.
Evolution Capital Pty Ltd (Evolution) and Morgans Corporate Limited (Morgans) acted as joint lead managers to the Placement.

$8m Queensland State Government Funding
Queensland Pacific Metals Limited (ASX:QPM) (“QPM” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the receipt of an $8m grant from the Queensland State Government.
Highlights
- Queensland Government will make available up to $8m in the form of a grant to prepare the Townsville Energy Chemicals Hub (“TECH Project”) for investment readiness.
- The Queensland Government grant is in addition to the recently announced $8m grant received from the Australian Federal Government under the International Partnerships in Critical Minerals program.
- Upon execution of the respective grant agreements, QPM will commence to ramp up activities for the TECH Project to advance it to stage where it is ready for a Final Investment Decision.
- The combination of the two grants represents significant and non-dilutive funding for the TECH Project. In light of this, the QPM Board has resolved to formally commence evaluation of a demerger of the TECH Project from the QPM Energy business (“Demerger”).
- The Board believes that QPM has two high quality projects that are currently undervalued in the existing corporate structure. A Demerger would allow both QPM Energy and the TECH Project to grow more efficiently and maximise value for shareholders.
Grant Funding
QPM refers to Media Statement published by the Honourable Scott Stewart, Minister for Resources and Critical Minerals on Friday 12th July1. QPM has worked with the Queensland Government, which has previously declared the TECH project a Prescribed Project and a Significant Investment Project. As a result of this collaboration with the Queensland Government, the Hon. Scott Stewart announced that the Queensland Government will make available up to $8m in the form of a grant to prepare the TECH Project for investment readiness. This is in addition to the $8m grant recently awarded to the TECH Project under the Australian Federal Government International Partnerships in Critical Minerals program (refer to ASX announcement 11 July). The Queensland Government grant also satisfies the matched funding condition required under the Federal Government grant.
QPM will now work with Queensland Treasury to finalise an agreement for the delivery of the grant and will provide more information to shareholders when it is available.
TECH Project Activities
Over the past few years, QPM has made great strides in advancing the project to a stage where it is ready for a Final Investment Decision. The two grants represent a total of $16m of non-dilutive funding which will facilitate QPM’s ability resume technical workstreams for the TECH Project without impacting the QPM Energy business and QPM’s group financial position.
Upon execution of the respective grant agreements, QPM will commence to ramp up activities on the TECH Project. This will put the TECH Project in a strong competitive position compared with other development stage nickel projects which have largely been halted. The grants will advance the TECH Project towards investment readiness, ready to capitalise on any positive sentiment change in the nickel market.
QPM Director Dr Stephen Grocott commented,
“Government support is essential for advanced manufacturing projects like TECH to be competitive on the global stage. We believe in the merits of the TECH Project with its gold standard sustainability credentials and world class partners. I would like to personally thank both the State and Federal Governments for their ongoing support, particularly at a time where it is most needed for critical minerals.”
