ASX Release (ASX code: “FYI”)
FYI advances HPA project; Engineering study manager appointed
FYI Resources Limited (the “ Company ” or “ FYI ”) is pleased to announce the appointment of GR Engineering Services Limited (“ GRES ”)(ASX:GNG) as the engineering study manager to progress the Company’s high purity alumina (“ HPA ”) project.
The appointment follows FYI’s
-
achievement of a 99.99% alumina (HPA), and
-
outstanding metallurgical recoveries achieved. *
GRES’s appointment is to refine the proprietary HPA flowsheet with preliminary economic parameters.
The scope of works will be to a Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) standard for a processing facility supporting a treatment capacity of 120,000 t/y of kaolin ore for feed to a specially designed beneficiation and refining plant to produce up to approximately 10,000 t/y of HPA.
The engineering study will dovetail into the enhanced metallurgical studies currently being undertaken for FYI’s HPA strategy.
GRES were selected from a panel of engineering firms on the basis of their expertise and experience in this style of processing and successful commissioning of projects over the past decade.
GRES have an extensive in-house database on previous projects, scopes of work, equipment, schedules, costs and specifications, that ensures the efficient use of personnel and relevant data.
The study work produced by GRES is well regarded by leading financiers and lending institutions. GRES has completed a large number of bankable feasibility studies and achieved a successful and proven industry track record in executing project design and construction developments that have been delivered on time and within budget.
FYI believes it has assembled a first-class study team between the engineering and metallurgical study managers, to deliver a world class HPA project.

Engineering Study Criteria
The engineering study is designed to include:
-
Optimised/rationalised Process Design Criteria (including beneficiation plant effectiveness, kaolin dissolution/leaching and the process for 4N HPA production at 99.99% purity);
-
Optimisation of process flow sheet (at high level);
-
Process design criteria, mass, water and energy balances, mechanical equipment list, flowsheets, preliminary engineering drawings required to adequately define, describe and cost the Project at the PFS level of accuracy;
-
Capital cost estimate to +/- 20-25% accuracy;
-
Operating cost determination and model development to +/- 20-25% accuracy;
-
Project facilities, input supply chains and infrastructure definition (including evaluation of reagent supply options);
-
PFS report complete with appendices and supporting documentation.
