Aglime Coolimba

The Coolimba Limesand operation is situated in the Mid-West region of Western Australia, within the coastal plain zone north of the Moore River. The terrain is characterised by low-relief aeolian dune systems and calcareous sand sheets — a geomorphology that facilitates shallow open-cut extraction with minimal overburden stripping. Flat to gently undulating topography reduces earthmoving complexity but demands precise drainage management to prevent seasonal waterlogging across the active mining footprint.

Operated by Aglime of Australia under the commercial brand "Aglime Coolimba," the site maintains active operating status supplying agricultural lime amendment products to broadacre farming markets across WA. The B2B supply chain is direct-to-farm and via rural resellers. Loading enquiries and sales are managed by dedicated field contacts, enabling responsive order fulfilment. Roster structures are consistent with DIDO arrangements given proximity to regional centres, reducing the need for permanent on-site accommodation infrastructure.

The deposit exploits aeolian calcareous limesand, requiring minimal comminution compared to hard-rock limestone operations. Processing typically involves:

• Mechanical screening and particle size classification to meet agronomic neutralising value (NV) specifications
• Moisture management during stockpiling to maintain product flowability
• Bulk load-out infrastructure calibrated for road-train tipper configurations
• No flotation or chemical beneficiation circuits required — physical separation is the primary value-add process

Operating within the Mid-West coastal plain, the Coolimba site is subject to Western Australian Heritage Act obligations and environmental conditions typical of coastal dune ecosystems, including native vegetation clearing approvals and rehabilitation bonding. B2B procurement partners should confirm:

• Compliance with DMP/DMIRS mining lease conditions for surface operations
• Progressive rehabilitation commitments aligned with post-extraction landform restoration
• Engagement protocols with local Noongar/Yuat heritage custodians for any ground-disturbance approvals
• Carbon footprint advantage: short regional haulage distances reduce Scope 3 emissions vs. interstate lime supply chains
