Kaolin

Kaolin is a naturally occurring industrial mineral composed predominantly of the clay mineral kaolinite, an aluminosilicate valued for its exceptional chemical and physical properties. It is widely utilised across global industries due to its high brightness, chemical inertness, thermal stability, whiteness, low conductivity, and fine particle characteristics.

These properties make high-quality kaolin an essential raw material in a diverse range of industrial and advanced manufacturing applications, including construction materials, ceramics, refractories, fiberglass, specialty fillers, white cement, paints, and coatings.

As global industries increasingly seek lower-carbon, higher-performance raw materials, premium kaolin resources are becoming strategically important for supporting more sustainable manufacturing processes and next-generation industrial products.

Toondoon Kaolin

The Toondoon Kaolin Project, located in central south-east Queensland, hosts one of Australia’s highest-quality known natural kaolin resources, containing exceptionally high-purity ore with greater than 90% kaolinite and very low levels of deleterious impurities.

Held under an approved Mining Lease (ML 80126), the near-surface deposit provides a secure long-term source of premium kaolin capable of supporting both direct shipping ore (DSO) opportunities and downstream value-added manufacturing.

The outstanding natural quality of the Toondoon resource enables simplified processing compared with many conventional kaolin deposits, reducing beneficiation requirements while supporting improved operating efficiencies and competitive production costs.

This unique combination of resource quality, mining simplicity and processing efficiency provides us with a significant competitive advantage across multiple industrial markets.

A Strategic Australian Resource

The Toondoon Kaolin Project forms the foundation of our long-term growth strategy.

Beyond supporting the commercial production of AusPozz™, the project provides a scalable domestic source of premium Australian kaolin capable of supplying multiple international industrial markets.

The combination of a large, high-purity resource, approved mining tenure, straightforward mining characteristics, and downstream processing opportunities positions Toondoon as a strategically significant Australian industrial minerals asset capable of supporting long-term value creation.
