SYNTHETIC ZEOLITE MINERAL PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY
Griffith University agronomic studies deliver promising results
On 6 September 2021, the Company announced that it had received promising results from agronomic studies undertaken by Griffith University (“GU”). The results follow a nine-month GU research program (“Pilot”) that commenced in November 2020, titled Exploring Agricultural Applications for Synthetic Zeolites[1] .
GU’s nine-month Pilot trial revealed that there is considerable potential to develop Zeotech products that offer solutions for large-scale agricultural challenges. The results provide confidence in the use of synthetic zeolites to develop an economically compelling fertiliser delivery platform, which offers multiple adjunct benefits including the potential for CO2 sequestration, as well as the application of synthetic zeolites as an agricultural pollutant treatment.
Highlights:
-
GU’s Pilot results highlight significant potential for development of Zeotech products;
-
The agronomic studies showed that synthetic zeolites were capable of:
-
High nutrient retention and exceptionally high phosphorus retention;
-
Pesticide removal and compound breakdown;
-
Enhanced moisture retention; and
-
Decreased soil acidification;
-
Zeotech to progress a follow up, comprehensive GU research program; and
-
Initial results and follow up study to underpin product development initiatives allowing Zeotech to target major commercial opportunities.

In November 2020, Zeotech engaged Griffith University to undertake a preliminary scoping project to explore potential agricultural applications for a range of synthetic zeolite products, which are under development using proprietary mineral processing technology from The University of Queensland (“UQ”).
The objective of the GU Pilot trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of Zeotech’s synthetic zeolites for a range of agricultural applications including:
-
a) Intercepting and retaining nutrients (particularly nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate) associated with agricultural runoff;
-
b) Incorporation into soils as an amendment to improve crop/pasture growth in the critical establishment phase of agronomic production systems; and
-
c) Acting as a substrate to facilitate removal of agricultural pesticides from runoff and soils.
The Pilot formed part of GU’s wider research program to investigate opportunities harnessing zeolites to help agronomic systems cope with emerging challenges, including fertiliser resource scarcity and increasingly difficult growing conditions wrought by changing climates.
The outcomes of the Pilot trial are very promising and support a more comprehensive agronomic research program that will underpin the development of Zeotech products for fertiliser delivery, incorporating carbon sequestration; and agricultural pollutant treatment.
Collaboration targets global Mycotoxin animal feed additives industry
On 13 July 2021, the Company announced it had provided a range of Type A molecular sieve zeolites to a leading Australian manufacturer of advanced animal feed additives, ‘Bioproton’, for in-vitro screening of mycotoxin binding, across seven toxins.
Zeotech and Bioproton will assess the initial test results to evaluate the potential of utilising synthetic zeolites to develop targeted mycotoxin binder product(s).
The Company provided 3A, 4A and 5A molecular sieve zeolites for the program, which will incorporate 7 mycotoxin tests across under 2 pH conditions (acid and neutral).
The global mycotoxin detoxifier additives market (binder/adsorbents) is valued at over AUD $1.1 billion and growing at 5% per annum[2] .
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by certain moulds (filamentous fungi), many of which have been implicated as chemical progenitors of toxicity in humans and animals and can be the source of various negative health effects. They can cause a toxic response (mycotoxicosis) when ingested posing a significant health danger to livestock, horses, companion animals, and humans.
The moulds that create mycotoxin (in animal feeds) develop on various foodstuffs, corn, grains, and various other crops. They can occur in the field (depending on weather conditions), after harvest (depending on conditions), during storage (improper storage), or on the food under warm and humid conditions - as a consequence of climate change, mycotoxins are increasing occurring.

THE TOONDOON PROJECT
Zeotech to acquire one of Australia’s highest grade kaolin projects held within an approved mining lease
On 23 August 2021, the Company announced that it had executed a term sheet with Zilotech Holdings Pty Ltd (“Zilotech”) to acquire 100% of the issued capital in Kalotech Pty Ltd (“Kalotech”), which holds a legally binding exercised option to acquire the mining lease and exploration licences for the 28,000-hectare Toondoon Kaolin Project (“Toondoon”) located in Queensland, one of the highest-grade raw ore kaolin deposits in Australia.
Toondoon Kaolin Project overview:
When the transaction is completed, Zeotech will hold 100% of the Toondoon project and associated licences, including ML 80016, EPM 27395 and EPMa 27866 through its ownership of Kalotech. The project is one of the highest-grade kaolin deposits in Australia. It is located approximately 20 kilometres south of Munduberra, Queensland and spans over 28,000 hectares.

Compelling project attributes:
Geology:
Recent resource estimation test work at the Toondoon Mining Lease, ML 80126, has delivered an Indicated JORC 2012 Resource of:
White Kaolin Clay - 5.07Mt @ 37% Al2O3, 0.9% Fe2O3, 46.3% SiO2, Alumina/Silica Ratio of 0.80[3] .
The potential exists to expand the high-grade kaolin resource, which remains open in all directions.
High grade raw ore kaolin near surface:
The ML 80126 hosts five million tonnes of high-grade kaolin, with approximately one million tonnes of kaolin near surface, offering cost effective immediate access to direct shipping ore (DSO).
Recent testing indicates up to 76% ISO brightness on raw ore samples, increasing to 84.5% post elutriation. JORC confirms indicated resource of 37% Al2O3 over five million tonnes - providing Zeotech with access to some of the highest-grade raw ore kaolin in Australia.
The high alumina content will allow the ore to be highly suitable to a number of sectors including the white cement industry, refractories, and fibreglass manufacturing. The ISO brightness enables end-users to process DSO for paper, packaging, and coating markets.
Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) kaolin mining operation potential:
Toondoon’s near surface, high grade and low impurity raw kaolin is very amenable to low cost, open cut mining operations. Zeotech will initially progress a simple dig and ship operation to drive near term cash flow and offset future development operating expenditure.
Following the completion of recent test work indicating high alumina, low iron and scale brightness, the Company is confident that ores will meet requirements across a number of potential markets. A number of samples have been sent to a marketing representative in mainland China, with early interest from end-user evident and potential sales agreements expected in the near term.
Low-cost high-grade feedstock to expedite synthetic zeolite processing:
The Toondoon Kaolin project approved mining lease offers Zeotech access to lower cost, high-grade kaolin. Raw ore from the project will not have to undergo sizing (wet/dry processing) to increase Al2O3 content and will provide immediate synthetic zeolite feedstock at a significantly lower cost to the Company’s existing Abercorn project.
This will allow Zeotech to significantly reduce operating expenditure and fast-track the production of synthetic zeolites.

==> picture [149 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
Located in a tier one jurisdiction and well served by existing infrastructure:
Queensland provides a favourable operating jurisdiction for the Company. Toondoon is situated 220km from the Port of Bundaberg and 300km from the Port of Gladstone and has access to major highways across sealed roads. This will allow Zeotech to progress potential off-take agreements with a number of parties in key international markets.
==> picture [445 x 314] intentionally omitted <==
Image: Toondoon Project Logistics and Infrastructure
Immediate development pathway:
Zeotech will immediately progress a DSO marketing strategy to leverage the superior quality of Toondoon’s raw ore kaolin. The Company is in advanced discussions with a number of market representatives to progress direct sales to end-users across the Asian region. Additional testing is being undertaken on the asset, which will provide further optionality for the Company as it progresses its development strategy.
The University of Queensland (“UQ”) has undertaken testing on a number of high-grade kaolin samples from Toondoon, to implement ore into the Company’s proprietary zeolite mineral processing technology. Results of this work which commenced early 2021 confirm that Toondoon raw ore kaolin is an optimal feed.
The UQ test results confirm the implementation of high-grade raw ore kaolin feedstock held under approved mining lease will expedite the commercialisation process and reduce operating expenditure of the Company’s low-cost synthetic zeolite production technology.

About Zeotech
Zeotech Limited (ASX: ZEO) holds proprietary mineral processing technology developed by The University of Queensland, for the low-cost production of advanced materials ‘synthetic zeolites’ and aims to utilise their unique properties for a sustainable future.
The strategy focuses on the low-cost manufacture of molecular sieve synthetic zeolites for global markets. The Company is developing innovative environmental management solutions, which include cleantech for lithium refineries to commercially manage by-product residue and developing economically viable carbon capture and conversion solutions, underpinned by lowcost ‘adsorbents and catalysts’ manufactured using Zeotech’s patent-pending technology.
About Zeolites
Synthetic zeolites are manufactured aluminosilicate minerals with a sponge-like structure, made up of tiny pores (frameworks) that make them useful as catalysts or ultrafine filters. They are commonly known as molecular sieves and can be designed to selectively adsorb molecules or ions dependant on their unique construction.
Zeolites play an important role in a cleaner and safer environment.
-
zeolites are an effective substitute for harmful phosphates in powder detergent, now banned in many parts of the world because of blue green algae toxicity in waterways;
-
as catalysts, zeolites increase process efficiencies = decrease in energy consumption;
-
zeolites can act as solid acids and reduce the need for more corrosive liquid acids;
-
• zeolites adsorbent capabilities see them widely used in water treatment i.e., heavy metal removal including those produced by nuclear fission; and
-
as redox catalyst sorbents, zeolites can help remove exhaust gases and CFC's.
