Successful Production of High-Quality Metakaolin for Low- Carbon Cement

Green360 Technologies Limited (ASX:GT3) (Green360 or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has produced a number of metakaolin samples from its kaolin resources and deposits. Successful internal laboratory testing of the metakaolin validates its exceptional quality, exceeding industry benchmarks, making it suitable for use in low-carbon cement formulations and high-performance structural concrete.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Successfully produced a number of metakaolin samples from the Company’s various kaolin resources and deposits.
  • Successful internal testing places Green360’s product at the top end of metakaolin quality benchmarks, exceeding many other variations of metakaolin available in Australia and globally – validating the product’s potential for use in low-carbon cement, and in the production of low-carbon, high-performance structural concrete.
  • Metakaolin is a sought-after partial replacement for traditional Portland cement in concrete mixes, improving strength and durability whilst also reducing emissions.
  • Significant milestone allowing for rapid advancement of low-carbon cement formulations utilising metakaolin.
  • Commenced commercial-scale concrete trials of metakaolin-based low-carbon cement formulations with JV partner and leading pre-cast manufacturer PERMAcast, to further validate performance in concrete products.

This is a significant milestone for the Company – confirming the key role of the Company’s own metakaolin in the development of Green360 low-carbon cement formulations.

The Company has now succeeded in developing and optimising low-carbon cement formulations utilising its own metakaolin, for testing in commercial-scale concrete trials with its Joint Venture partner, leading pre-cast concrete manufacturer PERMAcast.

These trials are a key step in validating the performance of the Company’s metakaolin-based low-carbon cement formulations in commercial concrete products.

Green360 Technologies Executive Chairman Aaron Banks commented:

“The successful production of metakaolin from our resources and deposits is a significant milestone for the Company. This achievement allows us to rapidly pursue testing and optimisation of low-carbon cement formulations utilising our own metakaolin and industrial byproducts, to ultimately deliver low-cost, low-carbon alternatives to traditional Portland cement.

“We have now developed low-carbon cement formulations utilising our metakaolin and have moved to commercial testing in concrete with PERMAcast – a key step forward in validating the performance of our low-carbon formulations in real-world applications.

“We are making significant strides towards the development and commercialisation of our high-quality, low-cost, low-carbon cement formulations, addressing growing pressure for the cement and concrete industry to decarbonise. We look forward to the results of commercial scale testing with PERMAcast and further optimisation of our formulations.”

Successful development of in-house metakaolin

Green360 has successfully completed the first stage of its product development program, achieving the controlled calcination of its kaolin into high reactivity metakaolin. Laboratory analysis, conducted in partnership with Murdoch University, confirmed the transformation using advanced Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). These tests show the kaolin has been fully converted into an amorphous phase suitable for use in high-performance concrete.

Importantly, testing reveals Green360’s metakaolin has an exceptionally high amorphous content of >88%, with very low levels of residual crystalline material. This places Green360’s product at the top end of metakaolin quality benchmarks, exceeding many other variations of metakaolin available in Australia and globally, which typically range between 55–75% amorphous content depending on source and processing conditions.

Metakaolin is a sought-after key input for low-carbon cements, enabling the partial replacement of traditional Portland cement in concrete, both to increase the performance of a concrete product, and importantly, reduce its emissions profile.

HyProMag USA Enters Into Agreement with Global Electronics Recycler, Intelligent Lifecycle Solutions, for Feedstock Supply and Pre-Processing Site Share in South Carolina and Nevada

 CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) ("CoTec") and Mkango Resources Ltd. (AIM:MKA)(TSXV:MKA) ("Mkango") are pleased to announce a feedstock supply and pre-processing site share agreement between global electronics recycling company, Intelligent Lifecycle Solutions, LLC ("ILS"), and HyProMag USA, LLC ("HyProMag USA" or the "Project") (the "Supply Agreement").

  • ILS will secure and store neodymium iron boron ("NdFeB") feedstock from hard disk drives ("HDDs") and other sources for HyProMag USA at the ILS pre-processing sites in Williston, South Carolina and Reno, Nevada (the "ILS pre-processing sites") in advance of the commissioning of HyProMag USA's advanced stage rare earth magnet recycling and manufacturing plant to be located in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas (the "DFW Hub")
  • ILS will utilise the INSERMA ANOIA SL ("Inserma") "3rd generation" HDD magnet separation system at its pre-processing sites. An exclusive agreement was signed between the HyProMag Group and Inserma in September 2024[i], and the Inserma technology is being rolled out across multiple jurisdictions
  • The improved Inserma units provide fast, efficient magnet separation from HDDs for Hydrogen Processing of Magnet Scrap ("HPMS") processing together with clean separation of the printed circuit board for immediate resale to 3rd parties
  • HyProMag USA is, inter alia, targeting HDD recycling geared to the growth of hyperscale data centers, which is expected to accelerate significantly in coming years
  • HyProMag USA will include the ILS pre-processing sites in its detailed design and engineering. The ILS pre-processing sites will be able to source multiple feed types to provide supply feed to the Project's magnet recycling and manufacturing hub in Dallas-Fort Worth. Other NdFeB feedstock sources being successfully processed to date by HyProMag include rotors from electric motors, wind turbine magnets, speaker assemblies and MRIs
  • The Supply Agreement is expected to be the first in several supply agreements to be entered into by HyProMag USA as the Project advances to construction and commissioning

ILS is a global electronics recycling company processing electronic waste. It is a full-service IT asset disposition, electronics recycling and scrap purchasing company and is fully compliant in ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and "Responsible Recycling R2v3 Recycler" at its USA locations.

EVs Emit 73 percent Less Than Gas Cars: Study

A new analysis from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has found that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) sold in Europe today produce 73 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetime than comparable gasoline-powered cars

The findings are based on an updated life-cycle assessment (LCA) of all major vehicle powertrain types, including internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), hybrids (HEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).

The report accounts for emissions from vehicle and battery manufacturing, energy production, use and maintenance, while crucially considering changes in the EU’s electricity mix over a car’s operational life.
