Wang & Lee Group Awarded US$71 Million Contract by NQ Marble with Exclusive Rights to Pioneer Dual-Purpose Marble Quarrying and Solar Crypto Farm Operations in Queensland
07 3월 2025 - 12:00AM
Wang & Lee Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: WLGS), a
multinational leader in sustainable infrastructure and resource
development, today announced it has been awarded a US$71 million
contract by NQ Marble Pty Ltd, a Queensland-based marble
quarrying enterprise, to exclusively undertake (i) the exploration
and quarrying of natural marble and (ii) the design and
implementation of a solar battery crypto farm across multiple
sites in Queensland, Australia. A non-refundable deposit of US$1
million has been paid by NQ Marble to WLGS. This groundbreaking
initiative will optimize 25.42 km² of land by integrating marble
production with renewable energy generation, capitalizing on
Queensland’s world-class solar resources and accelerating
Australia’s transition to sustainable industrial practices. This
pioneering project taps into Australia’s underutilized solar
resources, leveraging average annual solar irradiance of
5.5–6.0 kWh/m²/day—exceeding regions like Japan (3.5–4.0
kWh/m²/day) and Germany (2.8–3.2 kWh/m²/day).
Synergizing Marble Production and Renewable
Energy
Under the agreement, WLGS will leverage its
expertise to extract high-value marble from NQ Marble’s existing
sites while simultaneously developing a state-of-the-art solar
battery crypto farm across idle portions of the land. Queensland’s
exceptional solar exposure—averaging over 300 days of sunshine
annually—positions the region as an ideal hub for renewable
energy projects. The solar farm will power cryptocurrency mining
operations, with excess energy stored in advanced battery systems
to ensure uninterrupted productivity and reduce reliance on fossil
fuels.
Key Benefits of the Dual-Purpose
Model:
-
Maximizing Land Utility: By repurposing idle quarry areas
for solar energy, the project avoids leaving vast tracts of land
underutilized, generating dual revenue streams from marble sales
and crypto mining operations.
-
Sustainable Growth: The solar crypto farm aligns with
Australia’s renewable energy targets, reducing carbon emissions
while supporting the booming demand for “green” blockchain
technologies.
-
Economic Value: WLGS will derive revenue from both
marble sales and crypto mining, enhancing profitability across the
project’s lifecycle.
Capitalizing on NQ Marble’s Existing Assets
and Market Position
NQ Marble has around 141 large natural marble
blocks, weighing approximately 2,800 tonnes (priced at
AUD800–1,000 per tonne), which are prized for their use in premium
architectural projects globally, including Adelaide University’s
installations and Jowin Group’s luxury “BIANCO FANIELLO” hotel
developments in China. WLGS will expand production to meet surging
demand from Australia’s home building sector, which is experiencing
record growth driven by urbanization and infrastructure
investments.
Strategic Collaboration for “Made in
Australia” Excellence WLGS and NQ Marble are actively seeking
partnerships with marble quarrying experts and industry
professionals to optimize site operations and develop premium
“Made in Australia” marble products. This collaboration aims
to:
-
Enhance technical expertise in marble extraction, processing, and
design.
-
Expand market share in Asia-Pacific luxury construction
markets.
-
Drive innovation in sustainable quarrying practices.
Quotes from Leadership Mr. Ho, CEO of
Wang & Lee Group, stated: “This contract represents a
transformative step for WLGS, merging traditional resource
extraction with cutting-edge renewable technology. Queensland’s
solar potential and NQ Marble’s premium assets create a unique
opportunity to deliver value to shareholders while advancing global
sustainability goals.”
Mr. Cheng, Managing Director of NQ Marble,
added: “Partnering with WLGS allows us to maximize the potential of
our sites without compromising on environmental stewardship. The
solar crypto farm ensures every hectare contributes to our
financial and ecological objectives.”
