Austpac Resources N.L.

Austpac Resources N.L. is an Australian minerals technology firm that specializes in developing advanced processing solutions for the titanium, iron, and steel sectors. Its key offerings include the Enhanced Roasting and Magnetic Separation (ERMS) Synthetic Rutile (SR) process, a proprietary controlled roasting method designed to pre-treat ilmenite, facilitating its precise magnetic separation from unwanted gangue minerals, and subsequent rapid hydrochloric acid leaching to yield synthetic rutile. The company also developed the Enhanced Acid Regeneration System (EARS), which efficiently recycles hydrochloric acid from the spent iron chloride leach liquor produced during the ERMS SR synthetic rutile manufacturing. Furthermore, Austpac offers Austpac iron, an iron metallization technique that converts the iron oxide pellets generated by the EARS process into valuable iron metal pellets, thereby enhancing the overall ERMS SR system. Another important technology is Low Temperature Roasting (LTR), utilized for upgrading impure ilmenite concentrates. Beyond its technological innovations, Austpac Resources N.L. also engages in the exploration of mineral sand and gold deposits. Established in 1981, the company's base of operations is in Sydney, Australia.
