Austpac Resources N.L. is a minerals technology company which has developed new commercial processes for the titanium, steel and iron ore industries. Austpac is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX Code: APG).

Austpac won the 2008 Mining Industry Award for “Applied Technology of the Year”.

Austpac’s key technology transforms ilmenite into high grade synthetic rutile (synrutile), an important feedstock for titanium dioxide pigment production and a preferred feedstock for titanium sponge, an intermediate step in the production of titanium metal.

The technology can also be used to process waste chloride solutions and iron oxides produced by steel making to recover hydrochloric acid and saleable iron metal pellets.

A third process can be used to produce Austpac Direct Reduced Iron from both hematite and magnetite iron ores.
