DZP Flow Sheet
Whole of ore sulphuric acid
leach, solvent extraction
separation and refining, with
chemical precipitation to
produce final products.
Unique in the world today.
The process does not produce
a mineral concentrate and does
not concentrate the uranium
and thorium.
These waste products are
neutralised and dispersed in
the residue storage facilities at
less concentration than in the
primary deposit.

The DZP is a long term project with strategic significance in the zirconium and heavy rare earth industr es, ani d can generate substant a casi l h flows.

Production costs are spread across the four metal outputs – zirconium, niobium (tantalum), light rare earths and yttrium-heavy rare earths will insulate the DZP . from unforeseen price instability in certain sectors

The TGP provides cash flow insurance against any possible development delay for the DZP, and possible slow down in world growth. It also has upside in mine life.

The tight geographical focus and existing exploration success, provides Alkane with long term development potential and increasing profits.

Alkane is a long term investment opportunity with a clear development strategy of multiple operations and substantial cash flow, and capacity to pay dividends.
