LAND ACQUISITION AGREEMENTS SIGNED TO ACCELERATE TOONDOON KAOLIN PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Emerging mineral processing technology company, Zeotech Limited (ASX: ZEO, “Zeotech” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise it has signed land purchase agreements (“Agreements”) for the freehold land underlying the Company’s approved Mining Lease (ML 80126) at the high-grade Toondoon kaolin project (“Toondoon” or “the Project”)), located in the North Burnett District of Queensland.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Agreements executed to acquire the underlying freehold land covering the whole of the Company’s approved Toondoon ML as well as overlapping the adjacent Exploration Permit for Minerals (EPM 27395 & 27866).

  • Agreements expected to accelerate time to mining, streamline approval processes, optimise site access, and provide an efficient pathway to potentially expand the highgrade kaolin resource, which remains open in all directions.

  • Toondoon hosts one of the highest-grade raw ore kaolin deposits held under an approved ML in Australia.[1]

  • Opportunities for Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) of Toondoon’s near surface high-grade raw ore kaolin being assessed - Management engaged in advanced discussions with counterparties in India.

  • Toondoon’s high-grade kaolin resource offers an integrated supply of optimal feedstock for the production of manufactured zeolite.

Zeotech, Managing Director Peter Zardo said:

“We are pleased to have secured the underlying freehold land which covers the Toondoon project’s approved Mining Lease, which highlights a major de-risking initiative for the Company.”

“Following the settlement of the Toondoon project acquisition in August, this is yet another key milestone that will accelerate development of the project, by facilitating greater control over approvals needed to commence a low-impact kaolin mining operation.”

Toondoon kaolin project overview:

The Toondoon project consists of a granted ML together with two granted EPMs across 28,000ha, and hosts one of the highest-grade raw ore kaolin deposits held under an approved ML in Australia.
