Great Northern Minerals (formerly Greenpower Energy) was incorporated in 1899 as ‘Gunnedah Colliery Company’ (changed to Gunnedah Coal Company (GCC) in 1985), and GCC mined coal at Gunnedah NSW continuously until 1997 when it sold the Gunnedah coal mine.
In May 2007 GCC changed its name to Greenpower Energy Limited, issued a prospectus in September 2007, and listed its shares on the ASX in March 2008.
Greenpower aimed to liquify coal in order to dramatically and cost-effectively spur the growth of new plants which increases world food production without increasing the use of energy or space in this process.
In 2019 the company again changed names, this time to Great Northern Minerals, following the acquisition of three gold projects in Northern Queensland.
