Managing director & CEO Roland Hill highlights "world-class potential"

“Whilst focusing on the 4N as the predominant HPA market segment, FYI sought to produce 5N HPA to demonstrate the flowsheet effectiveness, as well as to develop an additional product line that could supply a market that displays forecasted long-term growth at a significant premium to the 4N market,” managing director & CEO Roland Hill said.

“Demonstrating the strong premium to the 4N market, Allied Market Research estimates 4N HPA product to sell in a range from US$30,000-$35,000/tonne in 2018-19 versus over US$50,000 a tonne for 5N.

“We believe the ability to generate such an ultra-high-purity product continues to demonstrate the Cadoux Kaolin Project’s world-class potential and we look forward to progressing discussions with possible end-use customers.”
