World leading producer of high purity alumina (HPA) Our Vision 4,500 tonnes pa

• Sapphire & Ruby Natural form of high purity alumina (HPA) Al 2 O 3 • Formed by mother nature like diamonds • Sapphire • Colour from impurities Gemstone Nearly as hard as diamond (Mohs 9) •

• Purified alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) 99.99% (4N) purity or greater • Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) ~ 99.5% • (5,000ppm impurities, mainly sodium) What is HPA? Bayer Process uses sodium hydroxide • (NaOH) Sodium impurity is problem for • electronics industry
