The Toondoon Kaolin Project underpins the Company’s integrated strategy, supplying premium industrial kaolin to export markets, while providing the high-purity feedstock for the downstream manufacture of value-added products, primarily AusPozz™.
Located approximately 20 kilometres south of Mundubbera in Queensland, the project comprises Mining Lease ML 80126 and two surrounding Exploration Permits for Minerals (EPM 27395 and EPM 27866), covering more than 28,000 hectares.
The project hosts one of Australia’s highest-grade known natural raw ore kaolin resources, characterised by exceptionally high kaolinite content (>90%), low impurities and favourable mining characteristics that support both direct shipping ore (DSO) exports and downstream value-added processing.
Strategically located with excellent transport infrastructure and secure land tenure, Toondoon provides Zeotech with a long-term domestic source of premium kaolin capable of supplying multiple industrial markets.
The Toondoon Kaolin Project combines exceptional resource quality with straightforward mining characteristics and significant expansion potential.
Key project attributes include:
These attributes provide the foundation for a low-cost, scalable industrial minerals operation capable of supporting multiple commercial opportunities.
The Toondoon Project underpins two complementary business opportunities.
We are advancing the export of premium kaolin direct-shipping ore into established international industrial markets.
A binding DSO offtake agreement with Jiangsu Mineral Sources International Trading Co. Ltd (MSI) provides an important pathway towards early project cash generation while demonstrating international demand for the Company’s premium white and pink DSO kaolin products.
The exceptional quality of Toondoon kaolin also provides the feedstock for the Company’s flagship AusPozz™ Project.
Independent testing has confirmed that high-reactivity metakaolin exceeding both Australian and ASTM performance standards can be consistently produced from multiple Toondoon ore profiles.
The naturally high kaolinite content enables a simplified processing flowsheet requiring only limited beneficiation, creating a significant competitive advantage through lower operating costs and improved manufacturing efficiency.
Together, these complementary pathways position Toondoon as a long-term strategic industrial minerals project capable of supplying both domestic manufacturing and international export markets.
The Abercorn Kaolin Project complements the Company’s flagship Toondoon Project and provides additional long-term exploration potential across approximately 20,000 hectares in Queensland’s North Burnett region.
Early exploration has identified a large, near-surface kaolin system characterised by consistent medium-grade mineralisation.
The Toondoon and Abercorn projects position Zeotech as the owner of a signifcant portfolio of Australian kaolin assets.
Together, these projects support the Company’s integrated strategy of supplying international industrial mineral markets while manufacturing value-added advanced materials, including AusPozz™ – creating multiple pathways for long-term growth and value creation.
