MoU signed with Siemens

Alkane has announced that it has signed an MoU (via its wholly owned subsidiary Australian Zirconia) with Siemens relating to its flagship Dubbo Zirconium Project (DZP). The purpose of the MoU is to advance the DZP, in particular to state each party's intention with respect to the procurement of Siemens’ equipment and operational solutions, and future offtake of products produced by the DZP. This follows Alkane’s 16 August announcement relating to a major zirconium agreement with a UK specialist chemicals firm. In our view, both agreements de-risk financing of the estimated A$1.3bn capex requirement for DZP and move it closer to the construction phase.
