ASX release detailing Mt Hope Kaolin Project



The Mount Hope Kaolin Project, wholly owned by Andromeda, is located 80 km northwest of Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It contains some of the brightest, whitest kaolin in the world.

The Mt Hope Kaolin Deposit has an Inferred Resource Estimate of 18.0 Mt of kaolinised granite.

Alongside the significant kaolin deposits in the Great White Kaolin Project, the Mount Hope Kaolin Project represents another opportunity for Andromeda to secure the long-term supply of premium-quality kaolin to our customers.

Market opportunity

While kaolin is well-known for its use in ceramics production, it is found in hundreds of objects in everyday use including cosmetics, paint, rubber, medicines, paper, agriculture, and plastics. Every modern home and car contain kaolin in some form.

Testing of ultra-high purity kaolin sourced from the Mount Hope Kaolin Project has delivered exceptional ISO brightness results (a measuring standard for brightness) superior to current market-leading products. This attribute lends itself to the paper, paint, and coatings market where pure kaolinite with exceptional brightness is desired.

Together with the Great White Kaolin Project, the Mount Hope Kaolin Project supports our vision to supply the world with superior-quality kaolin for use in premium products.
