Australian Silica Quartz Group ( (AU:ASQ) ) just unveiled an update.
Australian Silica Quartz Group has agreed to acquire private explorer Australian Kaolin Pty Ltd in an all-share deal valued at about A$2 million, securing the 47-million-tonne inferred White Swan Kaolin resource near the port of Esperance. The transaction, which requires shareholder approval and an independent expert’s confirmation that it is fair and reasonable, will see major Australian Kaolin shareholders under voluntary escrow and bring experienced director Jamie Cullen and kaolin specialist James Marsh into ASQ’s governance and advisory structure.
The White Swan project sits on a newly granted mining lease with land access secured, and a proposal for a 250,000-tonne-per-year direct shipping ore operation is under assessment by regulators as ASQ courts offtake partners in Asia and other markets. To fund progression of White Swan towards first export revenues, ASQ has mandated Taylor Collison to arrange a A$750,000 placement at 2 cents per share, with directors and staff contributing a significant portion, underscoring management’s commitment to positioning the company as a future significant exporter of kaolin.
