ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
31 AUGUST 2022
LAND ACCESS AGREEMENT SIGNED TO FAST TRACK ENEABBA SILICA SAND PROJECT
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Agreement To Agree for Land Access signed with private landowner
-
Privately owned cleared farmland helps negate native vegetation clearing permits and significantly reduces timelines
-
Previous surface samples returning up to 99%+ SiO2 on boundary of private land (ASX Announcement: Maiden Nova Mineral Resource Estimate 12 October 2021)
-
Sufficient power and water available to support the development of a silica sand project
-
Drilling to commence immediately on grant of PoW
Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited (ASX: SUV) (“Suvo” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its 100 per cent owned Eneabba Silica Sand project in Western Australia.
The Company has executed an Agreement to Agree, for Land Access, with Indian Ocean Farms Pty Ltd (“the Agreement”). Indian Ocean Farms Pty Ltd occupy the land to the east of granted tenure that contains the Eneabba Project maiden Inferred JORC Resource of 216Mt of Silica Sand (as announced 12 October 2021).
The Agreement provides certainty for Suvo’s upcoming drilling campaign, aimed at determining a JORC Compliant Indicated Resource and scheduled to commence in Q4 CY2022.
The land is currently used for agricultural purposes and has infrastructure including:
-
Road access, 3 phase power and water
-
Rail line direct to Geraldton Port (approximately 2kms from the western boundary of E70/5001)
The Company has negotiated access to drill an area that is not under crop which will allow a more streamlined and less onerous process be conducted by the Company in its pursuit towards the potential development of a Silica Sand operation at Eneabba. The cleared area of approximately 250 hectares negates the need for environmental clearing permits, and with key infrastructure already available, project timelines may be significantly reduced.

The Company intends securing a drill rig and commencing drilling in the coming months. Concurrently, it will advance talks with above and below rail operators and the Midwest Port Authority.
The proposed upcoming drilling campaign will allow Suvo to obtain bulk samples and send these to various end-users for further metallurgical test work. Sample results will assist to define end-user product specifications and potential product pricing, allowing for the fast track of potential offtake discussions.
Following completion of the drilling program, Suvo plans to commence study work to facilitate a mining licence application. The existing infrastructure already in place will potentially help expedite feasibility studies.
Should the Company form up an economically viable resource, the Company and the private landowners will advance discussions allowing access to the tenement for mining operations and current infrastructure.
Suvo Executive Chairman Henk Ludik commented:
“We are excited to be making progress at Eneabba, at a time when demand for sustainably sourced sands is outpacing supply.
To have access to existing infrastructure already in place that has the potential to fast-track studies is an excellent outcome for our shareholders. Development of WA’s first large scale sustainable silica sand operation remains a key strategy of the Company.
An operation of this size will create much needed employment opportunities in the region. This is in line with Governments commitment to the region as evidenced by funding provided to Iluka’s adjacent project.
We look forward to providing further updates once drilling commences.”

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 products for end users. These products 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.
The Company first disclosed the Trawalla and Pittong Mineral Resource Estimates on 22 September 2021 and 1 March 2022. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially effects the Announcement and confirms that the material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
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.
