• Identify commodities we want to be in for the longterm, seek projects to acquire or develop, build valuewithin our sphere of expertise and then bring inpartners to jointly realise the value.
• The strategy is to join with partners who will assist usby shouldering most of the operating and capital riskout of our projects.
• This gives us a better chance to develop projects at theoptimal scale, accelerate returns and create greaternear-term value for our shareholders.
Austpac’s Vision
• Annual iron oxide dust generation globally:
– Approx. 18 million tonnes
• Recycling Zn-contaminated Fe dust is problematic
• Disposal is costly
• Potential Zn availability 1 – 3 million tonnes
• Industry is focused on recycling this product
• APG has successfully completed the PoC work
• APG’s ZIRP process can recycle Zn-Fe dust
