AUSTRALIAM PROJECT
Bauxite Quality
To provide a comprehensive understanding of the project, we've included a quality table of the bauxite we expect to produce, based on sample analysis from exploration holes:
ComponentAverage Content
Al2O3 ≥42%
SiO2 <5.5%
Fe2O3 ≤26%
CaO ≤0.5%
TiO2 ≤3.5%
Monohydrates ≤1.5%
Moisture ≤10%
Size 0-100 mm
Investment - Collaboration Process
Before disclosing any confidential information, we propose a formal agreement, such as an NDA, to protect both parties' interests. We can discuss this further in a personal meeting if necessary. Meanwhile, please provide a proposed timeline for information sharing.
BauxiteTo initiate the collaboration, we suggest the following steps:
Quality Verification: To confirm that the specified bauxite quality meets the requirements.
NDA Exchange: Complete the exchange of NDAs.
Data Sharing: Commence the sharing of relevant data and information between parts.
Query Resolution: Address any specific questions raised by investor.
Production Schedule and Logistics
Production Target: 500,000 MT per annum, scaling up to 1.2 million MT within 3 years.
Initial Shipping: Via barge transhipment to Supramax vessels at a deep-water anchorage point.
Future Shipping: Potential for Capesize vessels at a later stage, subject to increased production and infrastructure development.
Project Status and Investment Considerations
Permitting: Currently in the permit application process.
Resource: JORC Compliant resource of 37 million tonnes of gibbsite-rich trihydrate bauxite.
Infrastructure: Mine, port, and transhipping studies completed. Environmental studies ongoing.
Timeline: Earliest production start: H1 2026. It will take approx. 12-15mths for approvals to be completed from the commencement of securing project funding.
Investment Opportunity: Accelerate project timeline and secure long-term bauxite supply.
Contractual Framework: A multi-year performance-based contract with a bank guarantee to ensure supply security and investor returns.
Conclusion
This Australian bauxite project offers a compelling investment opportunity. By collaborating closely and addressing key considerations, we can realize the project's potential and secure a sustainable supply of high-quality bauxite.
