At the Noosa Mining Conference, James Whelan (occasional talking head for smallcaps.com.au) chats with Heather Sparks from the Queensland Geological Survey about the Collaborative Exploration Initiative (CEI). The program has $5 million available in funding, with grants up to $250,000 per application, and applications are open now until 1 December, with announcements due in April. We unpack how the CEI works, who can apply, how the funding is allocated, and what it could mean for Australian exploration players listed on the ASX—including BBB.ASX—alongside peers in the small-cap space. This video uses the conference floor context to explain the current funding environment for explorers and what it could mean for BBB.ASX holders.
