ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 4 November 2013

AUSTRALIAN BAUXITE LIMITED ASX: ABZ

Change in Substantial Shareholder Notice

About Australian Bauxite Limited: ASX Code ABZ

Australian Bauxite Limited (ABx) holds the core of the newly discovered Eastern Australian Bauxite Province. Its 42 bauxite tenements in Queensland, NSW and Tasmania covering 6,883 km[2] were rigorously selected on 3 principles:

  1. good quality bauxite;

Australian Bauxite Limited (ASX: ABZ) advises that it has received a Change in Substantial Shareholder Notice from Hudson Resources Limited.

The Company requested a trading halt today, when it became aware that the Notice was pending.

Attached is a copy of Notice.

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

  2. 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. ABx conducts vigorous reviews of the commercial viability of its projects and tenements, resulting in new acquisitions, but also reductions in area as exploration is conducted.

ABx’s bauxite is high quality, gibbsite-rich bauxite and can be processed into alumina at low temperature – the type that is in short-supply globally. Global resources declared to date total 115.6 million tonnes. At Inverell in northern NSW, a resource of 38.0 million tonnes[1] has been reported from drilling 35% to 40% of the area prospective for bauxite; at the Taralga project in southern NSW, a resource of 37.9 million tonnes[2] of bauxite has been reported; at Guyra[3, ] a 6.0 million tonnes maiden resource was declared; at the Binjour Plateau in central QLD, a 24.5 million tonnes[4] resource has been declared; in Tasmania, a 5.7 million tonnes maiden resource has been declared and at Mundubbera in central Qld, a 3.5 million tonnes maiden resource has been declared, confirming that ABx has discovered a significant bauxite deposit including some bauxite of outstandingly high quality.

ABx 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.
