Company Profile
Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited is an Australian hydrous kaolin producer listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:SUV). Suvo is focused on expanding sales of hydrous kaolin produced at its 100% owned Pittong operation located 40km west of Ballarat in Victoria. Suvo is also progressing commercialisation of the ‘Murdoch Technology’, namely Intellectual Property for a geopolymer concrete batching plant a low carbon geopolymer concrete formulation known as ‘Colliecrete’, which it licenses under a worldwide and exclusive Intellectual Property License Agreement.
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. The Pittong processing plant has a name-plate capacity of 60,000 tonnes per annum.
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.
Geopolymer Concrete IP and Commercialisation
Suvo licenses the ‘Murdoch Technology’ from Murdoch University under a worldwide and exclusive Intellectual Property License Agreement. The Murdoch Technology is namely Intellectual Property for a geopolymer concrete batching plant a low carbon geopolymer concrete formulation known as ‘Colliecrete’.
Geopolymer concrete is a low carbon concrete that is made by reacting aluminate and silicate bearing materials with a caustic activator, such as metakaolin, flyash, ground blast furnace slag and other waster derived materials. Geopolymer concrete is a suitable replacement for concrete made using the traditional binder known as Ordinary Portland Cement ( OPC ). The manufacture of OPC is a highly emitting process representing 8% of global CO2 emissions which is equivalent to the entire global car fleet.
Utilising the licensed IP, in a laboratory setting, Suvo has successfully produced three new geopolymer concrete formulations using caustic activators, metakaolin and flyash. The laboratory trials ran tests comprising five samples in each test returning an average compressive strength of 27 megapascal ( MPa ) up to 52MPa. The trials indicated the geopolymer concrete formulations using metakaolin and flyash showed a potential greenhouse gas emission reduction of up to ~70% compared to concrete made using OPC.
Suvo has entered into a binding Joint Development Agreement ( JDA ) with PERMAcast and is in the process of incorporating two joint venture entities ( JV Entities ) to develop and commercialize low-carbon geopolymer concrete ( GPC ) products. Under the binding JDA, Suvo and PERMAcast will prepare and test various formulations, assess their suitability for different applications, and determine the best route for commercialization through the jointly-owned special purpose vehicle.
