Our Vision:
To be one of the world’s leading producers of high purity alumina (HPA)
High Purity Alumina:
A high-value material required for the manufacture of LED lights, scratch resistant (sapphire) glass and aluminium semi-conductors. There is no substitute for HPA in the manufacture of these products.
Global HPA demand is approximately 19,040tpa (2014) and demand is growing at an annual rate of 28%, primarliely driven by the growth in LED’s as this energy efficient, longer lasting and lower operating cost lighting replaces traditional incandescent bulbs. HPA demand is expected to at least double over the coming decade.
Altech has completed a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) for the construction and operation of a 4,000tpa HPA plant at Tanjung Langsat, Malaysia. The plant will produce HPA directly from kaolin clay which will be sourced from the Company’s 100% owned kaolin deposit at Meckering, Western Australia. Altech’s production process will employ conventional “off-the-shelf” plant and equipment to extract HPA using a hydrogen chloride (HCl) leaching process. Production costs are anticipated to be considerably lower than established HPA producers.

Where’s the beef? Blackstone just answered the AI question.
In 1984, a fast food ad asked a question that became a catchphrase. Where’s the beef? Jon Gray, President of Blackstone, used that line this month in front of global LPs. It is the question every capital allocator is asking about AI. Trillions of dollars are going into chips, data centres and power. That is […]
The Best of Both Worlds: How Omnique Fund is Rewiring Real World Assets via Tokenisation
For decades, the playbook for Australia’s wholesale investors has remained relatively unchanged: pick between the slow-moving, illiquid reliability of tangible assets like property and gold, or chase the frictionless, high-velocity liquidity of public equity and digital markets. But as macroeconomic volatility spikes and a structural housing deficit reshapes private debt demand, sophisticated investors are demanding […]
