FYI RECIEVES KWINANA SITE APPROVAL AND ADVANCES HPA PRODUCTION STRATEGY

Key points

  • FYI secures premium location in highly sought-after Kwinana Industrial Area

  • FYI granted approval of the Kwinana site through department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation and the Western Australian Land Authority

  • Provides FYI with a secure and world class processing and refining site

  • FYI can become an integrated proponent within the KIA and can contribute to, and leverage off, the areas’ world leading technologies and services providers

FYI Resources (”FYI” or the “Company”) are pleased to announce that they have been approved for, and have accepted, a prime industrial site in the Kwinana Industrial Area (KIA) as the location for its high purity alumina (HPA) refining facility where it intends to refine kaolin feedstock from its 100% owned Cadoux project into sought after HPA.

The KIA is part of the greater Western Trade Coast, Western Australia's premier industrial area. This strategic zone is widely recognised as a manufacturing, engineering, chemical and resource processing and refining hub with a leading number of industrial synergies amongst the many participating industries operating in the area.

The Kwinana Industrial Area is a key contributor to the WA economy and one of the most interconnected industrial precincts in the world. Numerous well-known companies are based there and are responsible for generating over $16Bn in economic activity and the direct and indirect employment of around 30,000 workers. *

In locating its HPA refinery in the KIA, FYI can benefit from the existing infrastructure, cheaper input costs, transport links and accessibility and available skilled workforce.

There has been a great deal of recent interest in the emerging energy and battery metals and materials industries. Tianqi Lithium Australia is soon to begin commissioning of their first stage lithium hydroxide chemical processing plant in the KIA, which will be the first in Australia and the largest of its kind in the world. Covalent Lithium (a joint venture between Wesfarmers Limited and SQM of Chile) is also planning to build a lithium hydroxide refinery in the KIA. This signals to the world that Western Australia's “Battery Valley”, located specifically in Kwinana, is up and running. There are numerous associated 'Battery value chain' entrant companies associated with lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, manganese etc currently making locational enquiries.

KIA selection and approval criteria

In order to be offered a site within the KIA, FYI had to demonstrate a number of key attributes including contributing to sustainable development; social advancement, technology breakthroughs or innovations, environmental protection that go beyond regulation; and the potential for a sustainable future.
