Impact Minerals (ASX:IPT) is heading to Queensland’s Sunshine Coast very soon to connect directly with existing and new investors.
The company is presenting at the Noosa Mining Investor Conference being held at the Peppers Noosa Resort from 23-25 July.
Managing Director Mike Jones says the conference provides the Impact team with an opportunity to communicate recent developments and the company’s forward plans directly to the investment community.
Impact’s primary focus is on working to establish itself as a key player in the high purity alumina (HPA) sector.
HPA is aluminium oxide, or alumina, and one of its main uses is as a separator between the anode and the cathode in batteries.
Because of its thermal and chemical inertia, it prevents heat build-up from the chemical reaction in the battery, but allows the chemistry to flow through between the anode and cathode.
It is also used in a wide range of other products in small volumes, but spanning a vast range of technologies.
Jones tells Mining.com.au the Noosa Mining Investor Conference comes at a pivotal time for Impact as the company advances key milestones at its Lake Hope HPA Project in Western Australia and continues exploration across its other Western Australian tenements.
“At Noosa this year, we’re aiming to engage with both existing and new investors, highlight the progress of our Lake Hope HPA Project, and increase awareness around our broader portfolio of battery and strategic metals,” he says.
“Our story stands out due to our innovative approach to HPA production, which aims to deliver a more cost-effective and sustainable solution, as well as our exposure to commodities that are critical for the global energy transition.”
In mid-June, Impact released a maiden reserve of 1.7 million tonnes @ 26% for 450,000 tonnes of contained alumina.
A Prefeasibility Study outlined a 10,000-tonne-per-annum operation for an initial 33 years that would require an initial capital investment of $259 million and generate $5.15 billion in cash flow over its life.
Lake Hope is estimated to have a post-tax net present value, using a 10% discount rate, of $1.17 billion and a post-tax internal rate of return of 47%, enabling Impact to have the operation paid off in 2.2 years.
Jones says Impact has noticed a growing interest from investors focused on strategic and battery metals, reflecting broader market trends.
“There’s also an increased appetite for projects with clear pathways to development and ESG credentials,” he notes.
For the rest of 2025, Jones says investors can expect steady newsflow, including project updates from Lake Hope, results from ongoing exploration, and further steps in advancing Impact’s broader strategy.
The Noosa Mining Investor Conference is firmly investor-focused, designed to connect ASX-listed resource companies directly with genuine investors.
The program of 70 companies features a mix of well-performing mid-tiers and interesting juniors, offering investors a broad snapshot of where the sector is at.
