Sydney, Feb 18, 2010 (ABN Newswire) - Australian Bauxite CEO Ian Levy speaks with Brian Carlton at the Symposium Resources Roadshows in Sydney.
Australian Bauxite Limited (ABx) (
ASX:ABZ) is an Australian exploration company that was admitted to the Official List of the Australian Stock Exchange on 21 December 2009. ABx was formed specifically for the purpose of acquiring the bauxite interests of Hudson Resources Limited; increasing the value of the portfolio through a staged development program in each of three bauxite provinces which will include exploration sampling, drill testing & analyses from a wide range of targets on all exploration tenements; resource definition drilling and bauxite metallurgical testwork on the more advanced prospects.
The ABx project tenements consist of seventeen exploration tenements granted or under application covering over 5,000 sq kms of ground considered prospective for bauxite; 3,477 sq kms in NSW and 1,617 sq kms in Queensland.
The bauxite deposits are located close to existing transport and other infrastructure, close to coal mines, industrial centres and ports on the east coast of Australia.

About ABx Group Limited
ABx Group Limited (ABx) (ASX:ABX) started as a bauxite miner in Tasmania in 2014 & controls the Eastern Australian Bauxite Province. In 2020 to 2023, ABx also discovered Australia’s only true ionic adsorption clay Rare Earth Elements resource at Deep Leads in pine plantations 40km west of Launceston with a JORC-compliant resource of 89 million tonnes from only 29% of the mineralised outline, averaging 844 ppm total rare earth oxides that is the most enriched in the critically important rare earths, Dy and Tb, of any Australian REE deposit.
ABx has also developed a proprietary technology to produce fluorine chemicals from an aluminium smelter waste product and return the fluorine back into the smelters, thus reducing reliance on imported aluminium fluoride.
ABx has committed a large proportion of its expenditure into Research and Development and has found ways to capitalise on the main strengths of its bauxite type which is very clean, free of all deleterious elements and can be separated into different product streams using physical, chemical and geophysical methods. It has produced and marketed specialist bauxite products for the manufacturers of fertiliser, cement with high late strength for major infrastructure such as bridges and is in the advanced stages of approvals for production of metallurgical bauxite from its Binjour Bauxite deposit with JORC-compliant resources of 37 million tonnes of bauxite, in a joint development with a Chinese-focussed Australian trading company Good Importing International.
ABx is also preparing to produce fertiliser grade and cement grade bauxite from its DL130 bauxite quarry in northern Tasmania, 40km west of Launceston. This quarry is sited in the middle of the large Deep Leads REE deposit and may one day be a site for heap leaching of the REE using a low-cost, benign leachate with the same acidity as apple juice or tea.
ABx endorses best practices on agricultural land, strives to leave land and environment better than we find it. We only operate where welcomed.
