Welcome to the NQMA website.
The NQMA or North Queensland Miners Association is a group of focussed and responsible people working in or closely with the mining industry in North Queensland.
Contrary to popular belief, the NQMA represents not only the small miner, but ALL miners in the North.
The AGM was held on the 13th. Thankfully Ralph decided to stay on for yet another year as President. All members of the Executive commitee were re-elected, however Fiona's work has prevented her from taking on the role of secretary this year. Congratulations to Vicki who steps into Fiona's big shoes!!
