Lancelin Limesand

The Lancelin Limesand operation is situated within the Swan Coastal Plain, approximately 120 km north of Perth in Western Australia's South West Mining Field. The terrain is characterised by low-relief aeolian dune systems composed of Quaternary calcareous sands. This flat-to-undulating coastal topography minimises overburden stripping ratios, enabling high-efficiency shallow extraction. Proximity to the Indian Ocean Drive corridor provides direct road access, reducing haulage complexity for bulk mineral dispatch to Wheatbelt agricultural markets.

Aglime of Australia operates under a State Government lease agreement, establishing a structured B2B tenure model with defined extraction rights. Loading operations are subcontracted to Lancelin Sands, creating a two-tier operational chain. Key commercial contacts are segmented by function:

• Sales enquiries: Mark Gherardi — +61 429 920 291
• Loading/dispatch: Kim Riley — +61 408 092 022
• Loading/dispatch: Matt Riley — +61 409 102 010
• Corporate office: +61 8 9277 5529

This DIDO-based operation requires no permanent camp infrastructure, with personnel mobilised from the Perth metropolitan area.

The deposit consists of high-calcium aeolian limesand, requiring minimal comminution due to its naturally fine granulometry. Primary extraction employs front-end loader and dozer push techniques. No conventional crushing or flotation circuit is required; product specification is achieved through:

• Selective face extraction targeting high-CaCO₃ zones
• Screening and scalping to remove coarse shell debris
• Bulk load-out directly to road transport for agricultural lime application

The absence of wet processing significantly reduces capital intensity and operational water demand.

Operating on State Crown land under lease, Aglime of Australia is subject to Western Australian DMP/DMIRS regulatory compliance, including progressive rehabilitation obligations. The Swan Coastal Plain hosts significant Heritage and environmental sensitivity — operators must adhere to Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) protocols and conduct pre-disturbance surveys. The agricultural limesand value chain directly supports:

• Soil pH correction across WA's acidic Wheatbelt soils
• Reduced synthetic fertiliser dependency for broadacre farming
• Low-carbon product profile due to minimal processing energy intensity
