FYI Resources Ltd ( ASX: FYI ) (“ FYI ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to release its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending 31 December 2020.
Successful High Purity Alumina (HPA) Joint Pilot Plant Trial Concludes
The planned collaborative HPA pilot plant trial with Alcoa Australia Limited ( Alcoa ) concluded in late December, achieving expected operational performances and further demonstrating the potential for commercial production of HPA via FYI’s innovative flowsheet design.
The pilot plant trial followed previous trial operations in replicating FYI’s designed and engineered process flowsheet for production of high quality HPA. The pilot plant operated continuously for seven consecutive days on a 24-hour-a-day basis to demonstrate the “end to end” operational efficiency of FYI’s innovative HPA refining process.
The objective of the collaborative pilot plant operation was to demonstrate the complete metallurgical process using the best scale up practices to replicate commercial production, being one of the condition’s precedent to the Memorandum of Understanding ( MOU ) with Alcoa.

HPA development trials
The HPA produced during the trial operation was consistent with previous trials and achieved excellent initial quality control and assurance checks. The HPA will be forwarded by FYI to targeted end-user and customer groups for on-going product qualification.
The collaborative pilot plant trial was successful in:
-
Providing Alcoa with firsthand observation of FYI’s innovative HPA flowsheet operations
-
Demonstration and validation of the process efficiency and operating parameters
-
Assessment of the materials handling and construction appropriate to commercial production
-
Corroborating scale up factors and opportunities
-
Progressing the MOU KPI’s
-
Generating FYI high quality HPA for ongoing product qualification
The pilot plant operation is an integral component to the progression of the Alcoa MOU. Both FYI and Alcoa will progress the project’s development including continuing the MOU discussions and completing the conditions precedent. The Company anticipates a very active and progressive next six months.
MOU Background
FYI has developed an innovative processing flowsheet design that has demonstrated the capability for the production of high purity, high quality HPA at the lowest cost quartile for both capex and opex. Production trials have resulted in outstanding quality HPA which has been supplied for assessment by potential off-take parties for sales contract purposes.
FYI and Alcoa entered into a Memorandum of Understanding on 8 September 2020 to progress a potential joint development of FYI’s innovative, fully integrated, high quality HPA project. The collaborative operation and demonstration of FYI’s pilot plant is one of the condition precedents under the MOU.
FYI has been in advanced discussions with a number of industry HPA off-take industry groups across the Lithium-ion battery (LiB) separator, Sapphire glass and other specialty markets regarding HPA marketing and off-take arrangements. The HPA market is growing at ~17% CAGR according to HPA commodity research group CRU in their HPA marketing report 2019.
Project Financing
FYI is engaged in a number of project financing package reviews which include traditional and non-market correlated options.
The Company’s definitive feasibility study ( DFS ) demonstrated the attractiveness of the project to potential funders through the visible long-term project returns of the conservative development metrics (refer announcement 11 March 2020).
The Company will progress the financing evaluation discussions to provide the most suitable funding to match the over-all project forecasts.

Customer Engagement and Market Reach
FYI has the objective of becoming a global producer and supplier of premium HPA. As the Company progresses its HPA strategy and continues to attract the interest of companies, such as Alcoa, the global opportunities will continue to emerge.
Additionally, FYI believes it has a number of points of difference with its integrated production and quality HPA that could provide a distinct commercial advantage and attraction to customer groups.
FYI is active in addressing the HPA application qualification requirements of the Company’s key targeted potential customers.
The product from the collaborative pilot plant trial will be provided to the targeted groups across the LiB and LED industries. Qualification assessment by these groups has advanced through the availability of FYI’s product. FYI, in collaboration with Alcoa, plan to generate further product to supply to potential customers from a second joint pilot plant run scheduled in March.
Future Battery Industry CRC
FYI is a founding member and partner of the Western Australian government’s $135m Future Batteries Industries Cooperative Research Centre ( FBI CRC ) based out of Curtin University in Perth.
FYI is participating in project development and testing of HPA in Li-ion batteries for various cell formats to progress to commercialisation. The investment in the development program should produce the following key outputs and understanding:
-
competitive processing of HPA for various battery materials
-
Characterisation and provenance mapping of integrated process routes for HPA
-
• Mass and energy balance flowsheets supported by experimental outcomes for our innovative processes.
-
Waste generation, reagents, energy, water consumption mapping to the operating industrial ecosystem
-
Continued pilot plant demonstrations to verify process technologies to extract and refine HPA for production of battery precursors
Corporate
Capital raising
In November 2020, FYI raised $6 million through a placement to sophisticated and professional investors. FYI issued 30.0 million fully paid ordinary shares at $0.20 per share ( Placement ).
The Placement received strong support from local and international investors as well as several existing major shareholders. FYI also welcomed several new institutional and professional investors to its register. The Placement was priced at a 11% discount to the 15day VWAP at the date of the Placement was announced.

FYI is using proceeds from the Placement to advance FYI’s strategy to produce high purity product from the Company’s innovative and fully integrated HPA project in Western Australia, including ongoing test work and refinement of the production process, further trial production and product generation, progressing the Alcoa joint venture MOU and furthering marketing. Part of the proceeds from the Placement will be used for working capital and to meet the costs of the issue.
Board exercises options
In November, all directors exercised FYI options due to expire on 26 November 2020 to raise a total of $238,500, demonstrating the Board’s commitment to FYI’s HPA development project.
R&D Tax incentive
In October, FYI received an R&D tax incentive rebate payment of $924,564 for the 2019/2020 financial year.
The rebate relates to FYI’s expenditure on the development of the Company’s innovative process to refine high quality HPA.
As a component of the eligible expenditure, FYI finalised its DFS with outstanding potential economic outcomes.
R&D funds will continue to be directed towards the ongoing development of the Company’s HPA strategy of a fully integrated, low-risk, low-cost production of high purity 4N (99.99%) and 5N (99.999%) alumina products.

Cautionary Statements
Substance of DFS
The DFS referred to in this announcement is a study of the potential viability of the Cadoux Kaolin Project. It has been undertaken to understand the technical and economic viability of the Project.
The DFS assumes as a 25-year Project life based only on Proved and Probable Ore Reserves (100%).
The DFS is based on the material assumptions outlined elsewhere in this announcement and the appended summary of the DFS. These include assumptions about the availability of funding. While the Company considers all of the material assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by this DFS will be achieved.
To achieve the range of outcomes indicated in the DFS, funding in the order of A$189 million will likely be required. Investors should note that there is no certainty that the Company will be able to raise the amount of funding when needed. It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that may be dilutive to or otherwise affect the value of the Company's existing shares.
It is also possible that the Company could pursue other "value realisation" strategies such as a sale, partial sale or joint venture of the Project. If it does, this could materially reduce the Company's proportionate ownership of the Project.
