Zeotech has executed a non-binding MOU with Cement Australia, the nation’s largest supplier of cement products and services, and a leader in driving innovation to decarbonise Australia’s building materials sector.
The MOU establishes the framework to collaborate and advance AusPozz™ high-reactivity metakaolin manufacturing and use. The Parties agree that the following core principle will be used as the basis for further negotiation, during the term of the MOU:
- The exchange of technical information and test results to support the completion of AusPozz product technical and value proposition program and an assessment of Cement Australia infrastructure and supply chain options.
In July 2025, representatives from Cement Australia visited Zeotech’s proposed AusPozz Manufacturing Facility site at the Port of Bundaberg and the Toondoon kaolin mine site, followed by a reciprocal visit from Zeotech to Cement Australia’s Gladstone facilities.
The Company has previously supplied Cement Australia with samples of high-reactivity metakaolin and raw Toondoon kaolin to assess their suitability for use in concrete applications incorporating Cement Australia products, and to initiate a value proposition assessment of AusPozz™ in concrete mix designs.
The MOU may be terminated by either party with 30 days' written notice, or it will otherwise expire on 1 June 2026.
Cement Australia, General Manager Sales, Marketing & Risk, Phil Halpin, commented:
“Cement Australia is pleased to enter this arrangement with Zeotech. The Company’s high-grade kaolin has strong potential as a viable feedstock for producing high-reactivity metakaolin. Our planned technical assessment of AusPozz will focus on validating its performance as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) for low-carbon concrete applications. In parallel, Cement Australia will undertake a detailed evaluation of the infrastructure and end-to-end supply chain requirements.”
Zeotech Executive Director, Shane Graham, added:
“We are pleased to be partnering with one of Australia’s largest suppliers of building materials. The MOU provides a framework for ongoing collaboration aimed at accelerating the development of AusPozz and evaluating pathways toward commercial-scale production. This partnership represents an important step in supporting the decarbonisation of the built environment through the development of high-performance, low-carbon construction materials.”
