The Queensland Government Mining Journal is a trade magazine about mining published monthly by the Queensland Government in Australia. [1]
In April 1900 it was announced that the Queensland Government would be publishing a monthly mining journal under the editorship of William Hodgkinson, whose previous experience included exploration, journalism, gold mining and politics (including being the Minister for Mines from 1888 to 1893). [2] [3] [4] Its first issue appeared in June 1900, having been printed at the Queensland Government Printing Office. [5] [6] [7] Despite being a publication of the Queensland Government, the journal's second issue in July 1900 criticised the government over issues of mine safety. [8]
Hodgkinson died in late July and the editorship passed to Walter John Morley who produced the August 1900 issue. [9]
As at 2016, the Queensland Government Mining Journal continues to be published in a quarterly electronic format, freely available via email subscription or downloaded via the Internet. It is Australia's longest-running mining publication. [10]
