Download coordinates as: Greenvale is a rural town and locality in the Charters Towers Region, Queensland, Australia.

[1] Greenvale is a nickel mining area, approximately 220 kilometres (137 mi) northwest of Townsville.

The railway line tracks were removed in mid-2000; however the bridges, cuttings, blue metal and easement remain.

[1] The Greenvale mining lease has undergone extensive exploration work by Straits Resources and Metallica Minerals for the purpose of reopening the nickel and cobalt operations.

During this most recent exploration work, the Lucknow ridge south of the mine has been found to contain one of the largest known reserves of scandium oxide in the Lateritic nickel ore deposits.

According to the managing director of Metallica Minerals, Andrew Gillies, the deposit's quality and purity are remarkably high.

[19] The Three Rivers Hotel, made famous by Slim Dusty in a song by the same name, is now located at Greenvale.

The hotel reference is actually to the "Mess Hall" at the construction camp where Stan Coster penned the song.

During 1974 North Queensland was severely drenched by a very active wet season and work on the railway line ceased for days, even weeks, on end.

The hotel serves meals and has a number of self-contained units once used by the mine to house staff and contractors.
