FYI Resources secures a site in Kwinana industrial area for high purity alumina refining facility

The Australian listed resources company FYI Resources has reportedly received an industrial site in the Kwinana industrial area for its high purity alumina refining facility. The facility, as per the report, will refine kaolin feedstock arrived from FYI’s Cadoux Project.

The company’s managing director Roland Hill said on Wednesday, December 4, that the Kwinana industrial area was a world-class industrial hub, adding that FYI Resources was delighted to be selected as a proponent within the zone and a participant in the Battery Valley.

“Having our HPA refinery located in this zone is a real asset to the company and is integral to our fully integrated production strategy. The benefit of being located in the Kwinana industrial area brings many tangible and intangible benefits to our business model such as essential services, utilities and suppliers at our doorstep, permitting and cost benefits, proximity to Perth and the advantages of a centralized distribution and export hub,” said Roland Hill.

FYI recently reported grades of 99.99 per cent at its HPA pilot plant, which was under an operation for 24/7 from October 2 to 9. The plant met or exceeded the modelled operational performances, demonstrating the potential for commercial production of HPA.
