Given the level of interest in the SPP Offer, the Board has also resolved to
close the SPP Offer early to minimise the impact of any potential scale back
of applications.

ramp up of the Pittong hydrous kaolin plant and also to fast track
commercialisation of the Company’s intellectual property for geopolymer
concrete.

Company Profile
Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited is an Australian hydrous kaolin producer and exploration company listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:SUV). Suvo is focused on production at, and expansion of, their 100% owned
Pittong hydrous kaolin operation located 40km west of Ballarat in Victoria. Suvo’s exploration focus is on near-term
kaolin and high purity silica assets with 100% owned Gabbin (kaolin), Eneabba and Muchea (silica sands) projects
located in Western Australia.
Pittong Operations
The 100% owned Pittong Operations, located in Victoria 40km west of Ballarat, is the sole wet kaolin mine and
processing plant in Australia and has been in operation since 1972. Pittong comprises the Pittong, Trawalla and Lal
Lal deposits located on approved Mining Licences MIN5408, MIN5365 and MIN5409 respectively.
At Pittong mining contractors deliver crude kaolin ore to stockpiles from the two currently operating mines, Pittong
and Lal Lal. The plant takes its feedstock from the ROM and it is processed into four separate product forms for end
users. These product forms are 10% moisture lump, high solids slurry, 1% moisture powder and 1% moisture
pulverised powder. The solids slurry is used in paper and board manufacturing. The other products are used in paper,
coatings, paint and specialist industries including rubber and pharmaceutical applications. Around 20-25kt per
annum is supplied to various end users.
Gabbin Kaolin Project
The 100% owned Gabbin Kaolin Project (White Cloud) is located 215km northeast of Perth, Western Australia. The
project area comprises four granted exploration licences (E70/5039, E70/5332, E70/5333, E70/5517) for 413km 2,
centred around the town and rail siding of Gabbin. The generally flat area is primarily cleared farming land devoid of
native bushland and is currently used for broad-acre cereal cropping. A mining access agreement is in place over the
current resource area with the landowner and occupier.
The main rock types at Gabbin are primarily Archaean granite, gneiss, and migmatite. These rocks are overlain and
obscured by Tertiary sand and Quaternary sheetwash. The weathering profile is very deep and contains thick kaolin
horizons capped by mottled clays or laterite zones. The current JORC 2012 Mineral Resources are 72.5Mt of bright
white kaolinised granite with an ISO Brightness of 80.5%.
Eneabba Silica Sands Project
The 100% owned Eneabba Silica Sands Project is located 300km north of Perth, Western Australia. The project
comprises four granted exploration licences (E70/5001, E70/5322, E70/5323, E70/5324) for 169km 2. The project
is located on the Eneabba Plain whose sandy cover is very flat to gently undulating. Outcrop is rare due to the
accumulations of windblown and alluvial sand at surface. Below this is a thin hard silcrete or lateritic claypan which
overlies deep white and yellow sands.
