The scoping study has been designed to assess the techno-economic viability of Dingo’s proposed flowsheet to produce HPA and validate the feasibility of a near-term project.
Consistent with the terms outlined in the ASX announcement dated 29 September 2022, Suvo has a clear pathway to acquire up to 76% of the issued capital of Dingo, subject to various milestones being met.
At the end of the stage three earn-in agreement, Suvo will have an exclusive period to negotiate a share purchase acquisition of the remaining shares on issue in Dingo, subject to the Listing Rules and any further regulatory approvals.
Suvo has appointed one representative to the Dingo Board as a Director.
Executive Chairman Henk Ludik commented:
“Australia’s Federal Government recently added HPA to the critical minerals list as part of the 2022 Critical Minerals Strategy, citing broad-ranging economic and strategic importance.
The global demand for HPA in powder form is expected to grow to 187,000 tonnes per annum by 2028, this growth is likely to be stemmed by supply limitations leading to a potential spike in prices as supply struggles to keep up with demand.
With the settlement now complete, Dingo is primed to advance the technologies scoping study, stepping closer to developing the novel HPA production process.
The bespoke IP and structured pathway to increase Suvo’s interest offers a potential pathway for the Company to take advantage of rising demand and market opportunity.
We look forward to providing shareholders additional updates on this unique opportunity in due course.”

Company Profile
Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited is an Australian hydrous kaolin producer and exploration company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:SUV). Suvo is focused on production at, and expansion of, their 100% owned Pittong hydrous kaolin operation located 40km west of Ballarat in Victoria. Suvo’s exploration focus is on near-term kaolin and high purity silica assets with 100% owned Gabbin (kaolin), Eneabba and Muchea (silica sands) projects located in Western Australia.
Pittong Operations
The 100% owned Pittong Operations, located in Victoria 40km west of Ballarat, is the sole wet kaolin mine and processing plant in Australia and has been in operation since 1972. Pittong comprises the Pittong, Trawalla and Lal Lal deposits located on approved Mining Licences MIN5408, MIN5365 and MIN5409 respectively.
At Pittong mining contractors deliver crude kaolin ore to stockpiles from the two currently operating mines, Pittong and Lal Lal. The plant takes its feedstock from the ROM and it is processed into four separate product forms for end users. These product forms are 10% moisture lump, high solids slurry, 1% moisture powder and 1% moisture pulverised powder. The solids slurry is used in paper and board manufacturing. The other products are used in paper, coatings, paint and specialist industries including rubber and pharmaceutical applications. Around 20-25kt per annum is supplied to various end users.
Gabbin Kaolin Project
The 100% owned Gabbin Kaolin Project (White Cloud) is located 215km northeast of Perth, Western Australia. The project area comprises four granted exploration licences (E70/5039, E70/5332, E70/5333, E70/5517) for 413km[2] , centred around the town and rail siding of Gabbin. The generally flat area is primarily cleared farming land devoid of native bushland and is currently used for broad-acre cereal cropping. A mining access agreement is in place over the current resource area with the landowner and occupier.
The main rock types at Gabbin are primarily Archaean granite, gneiss, and migmatite. These rocks are overlain and obscured by Tertiary sand and Quaternary sheetwash. The weathering profile is very deep and contains thick kaolin horizons capped by mottled clays or laterite zones. The current JORC 2012 Mineral Resources are 72.5Mt of bright white kaolinised granite with an ISO Brightness of 80.5%.
Eneabba Silica Sands Project
The 100% owned Eneabba Silica Sands Project is located 300km north of Perth, Western Australia. The project comprises four granted exploration licences (E70/5001, E70/5322, E70/5323, E70/5324) for 169km[2] . The project is located on the Eneabba Plain whose sandy cover is very flat to gently undulating. Outcrop is rare due to the accumulations of windblown and alluvial sand at surface. Below this is a thin hard silcrete or lateritic claypan which overlies deep white and yellow sands.
