PITTONG OPERATION
The mining contractor delivers crude kaolin ore to stockpiles from the Pittong deposit (MIN5408) to the processing plant, strategically located within 2km.
The Pittong plant takes its feedstock from the Run of Mine (“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.
Currently, around 20-25kt per annum of hydrous kaolin is supplied locally and internationally to various end users. In February 2023, the Pittong plant upgrade and optimisation project was completed, uplifting the processing capacity to 60kt per annum.
