Austpac Resources N.L. is pleased to announce it has signed a Research Agreement with BHP Billiton to continue the ongoing development of the Company’s ERMS SR technology for the production of high grade synthetic rutile and the direct reduced iron co-product (DRI). Under the agreement, BHP Billiton will provide funds for:
• the commissioning and operation of the equipment designed to prove
Austpac’s proprietary continuous metallisation process, which is now in the
final stages of construction at the Newcastle plant,
• additional modeling of the proprietary continuous leach vessel that will form
part of the proposed ERMS SR Demonstration Plant planned for Newcastle,
• a review and update of the capital cost estimate for the Demonstration Plant, and
• an independent concept level cost study to obtain updated capital and
operating costs for a commercial scale ERMS SR plant.
The agreed work program will take approximately three months and should be completed in November this year.
