About Australian Bauxite Limited: ASX Code ABZ

Australian Bauxite Limited (ABx) holds the core of the newly discovered Eastern Australian Bauxite Province. Its 40 bauxite tenements in Queensland, NSW and Tasmania covering 8,700 km[2] were rigorously selected on 3 principles:

  1. good quality bauxite;

  2. proximity to infrastructure connected to export ports; and,

  3. free of socio-environmental or native title land constraints.

All tenements are 100% owned and free of obligations for processing and third-party royalties. ABx has already discovered many bauxite deposits and new discoveries are still being made as knowledge and expertise grows.

The company’s bauxite is high quality and can be processed into alumina at low temperature – the type that is in short-supply globally. Global resources declared to date total 98.7 million tonnes. At the company’s first drilling prospect in Inverell, northern NSW, a resource of 38.0 million tonnes[1] has been reported from drilling 15% to 20% of the area prospective for bauxite and a resource of 37.9 million tonnes[2] of bauxite has been reported at the Taralga project in southern NSW. A 6.0 million tonnes maiden resource was declared at Guyra[3] . A 16.8 million tonnes[4] maiden resource has been declared at the Binjour Plateau in central QLD, confirming that ABx has discovered a significant bauxite deposit including some bauxite of outstandingly high quality. Australian Bauxite Limited aspires to identify large bauxite resources in the Eastern Australian Bauxite Province, which is emerging as one of the world’s best bauxite provinces.

ABx has the potential to create significant bauxite developments in three states - Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania. Its bauxite deposits are favourably located for direct shipping of bauxite to both local and export customers.

ABx endorses best practices on agricultural land, strives to leave land and environment better than we find it. We only operate where welcomed.
