Altech gains mining approval for Meckering deposit

Altech Chemicals Press Release

Altech Chemicals Limited announces that the Department of Mines and Petroleum (WA) has approved the mining proposal and the associated mine closure plan for its Meckering kaolin deposit. The mining approval marks an important stage in the development of the Company’s proposed Meckering kaolin mine, which will provide feedstock for Altech’s proposed Malaysian high purity alumina (HPA) plant.

The approved submission specifically allows for mining activities to commence within the Company’s 100%-owned Meckering mining lease M70/1334, which is located approximately 140km east of Perth.

At Meckering, Altech plans to mine approximately 140,000 tonnes of kaolin once every three years; mining will take place in short two-month mining campaigns. The resultant raw kaolin ore will be stockpiled on site, then containerised into standard shipping containers at the rate of approximately 40,000tpa and shipped to Johor, Malaysia via the port of Fremantle, Western Australia.

Altech managing director Mr Iggy Tan said, “The Company is delighted to have received mining approval for the Meckering kaolin deposit. Whilst the Company will not need to commence mining kaolin until 2018, the approval of the mine is an important developmental milestone that has now been ticked off.

“The next step is the works approval application for the proposed loading facility at Meckering, which is assessed by the Department of Environment Regulation”, Mr Tan concluded.
