From Australianmining.com (2024):
"Andromeda Metals has signed a binding offtake agreement with critical minerals company Traxys for the purchase of kaolin products from the Great White project in South Australia for the first five years of production.
Under the agreement, Andromeda will supply Traxys with Great White CRM, a refined, dried, bagged product for use by end-users in the high-end ceramics market, and Great White HRM, a refined kaolin product used as an additive in the concrete industry and other associated applications.
“We are excited to seal our comprehensive strategic partnership with Traxys,” Andromeda managing director and chief executive officer (CEO) Bob Katsiouleris said.
The agreement will see Andromeda sell 25,000 wet metric tonnes (wmt) of Great White CRM in the first year, increasing to 40,000wmt per annum in the second year, and 50,000wmt per annum from the third year and beyond.
As processing capacity increases, contracted volumes of Great White CRM will increase proportionately to 50 per cent of the available processing capacity, capped at 130,000wmt per annum.
In turn, Traxys will have exclusive marketing and distribution in the Middle East (excluding Egypt and Morocco), Turkey, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Poland, Brazil, India, Vietnam and Bangladesh.
Andromeda will also supply Traxys with 5000wmt of Great White HRM in the first year, increasing to 10,000wmt annually from the second year onwards."
