Altech Chemicals clears site ahead of HPA plant construction

Altech plans to feed the HPA plant using its kaolin mine in Western Australia.

Altech Chemicals Ltd (ASX:ATC) has completed clearing the four hectare site for its proposed high purity alumina (HPA) plant in Johor, Malaysia.

Site clearance commenced earlier this month following the execution of the stage I construction agreement for the HPA plant with appointed German contractor.

Clearing of the site predominantly involved the removal of secondary re-growth vegetation; this activity was the first task in the detailed schedule of works for stage I construction.
