THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

ON SHORE MAGNETITE PRODUCTION. CONCENTRATE SHIPPED FOR DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING. OFF SHORE PROCESSING IN SAUDI ARABIA.

  • Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
  • · A low capital cost operation in Australia, with value-add downstream processing and production of high value products in a low energy cost jurisdiction.
  • . The KSA is a significant user of vanadium products, particularly in its steel sector where demand is estimated at 10 - 12 ktpa and growing at 4 - 5% Year on Year.
  • · High Purity Alumina (HPA) feedstock from Victory Bore could also be processed in KSA where demand is increasing or for export to Europe.
