Altech Chemicals submits mining plan for their Meckering mine in Western Australia

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

Altech Chemicals Limited has now submitted a mining proposal (MP) and mine closure plan (MCP) to the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) for their Meckering kaolin mine in Western Australia. The Meckering kaolin mine is planned to be developed in order to provide feedstock for its proposed Malaysian high purity alumina (HPA) plant. The plan submission marks another development in this regard.

Altech is planning to mine approximately 140,000 tonnes of kaolin once every three years; mining will take place in short two-month mining campaigns. The mined kaolin ore will be stocked and packed in standard shipping containers and shipped to Johor, Malaysia via the port of Fremantle, Western Australia.

News
The Company’s Meckering mining lease contains a Mineral Resource estimation of 12.7 million tonnes with 29.5% of alumina content.  The reserve represents over 250 years of feedstock supply for the Company’s proposed HPA plant. Based on the Mineral Resource, a maiden Ore Reserve of 1.2 million tonnes with 30% alumina content was estimated. The Ore Reserve will have 30- year mine life based on 4,000tpa of HPA production. Mine development at Meckering is expected to commence in approximately 12 months once funding and approvals are complete.
