Andromeda Metals says its Great White kaolin development is ready to advance toward construction, with early site works complete and four binding offtake agreements covering planned Stage 1A+ output. But “construction-ready” does not mean fully funded or under construction: the company still needs to secure the remaining equity funding and reach a final investment decision (FID). Separately, it has reported continuous pilot-scale production of high-purity alumina (HPA) from Great White feedstock at 99.9986% purity—a technical milestone, not yet commercial production or qualified customer sales.
What does “construction-ready” mean for Great White?
For Andromeda, the phrase describes a project with key approvals, completed feasibility work and significant early works—not a fully financed mine that has begun construction. In FY2026, the company reported completing mine access, bulk earthworks and plant-pad preparation, geotechnical and grade-control drilling, and transport of key long-lead equipment to Australia. The company’s Great White project page reports a 34.6 million-tonne mineral resource estimate and a 28-year life-of-mine figure. The resource figure is a mineral resource, not an ore reserve, and should not be read as a declaration that all of it can be mined economically.

Andromeda’s FY2026 annual report describes a credit-approved A$75 million debt facility with Merricks Capital and an estimated approximately A$40 million balance of equity funding required after early works. The report says funding efforts continued and final approvals and execution remained subject to securing that balance. These are figures and status reported at the annual-report point, not evidence that the project is now fully funded. Until financing is secured and FID is made, construction and operations are not assured.
That distinction matters for a construction project: completed access and earthworks reduce some early execution work, while financing and FID determine whether the company can proceed with the remaining development. The FY2026 annual report is the company’s source for the reported works, approvals, debt facility and remaining equity requirement.

What sales are actually contracted?
Andromeda reports four binding offtake agreements for Great White Stage 1A+ kaolin products: with Plantan Yamada, Foshan Gaoming, IberoClays and Traxys. The company’s June 2026 presentation says planned Stage 1A+ output is fully committed under those agreements. That gives the proposed initial development a contracted-sales basis, but it does not mean product has been delivered, revenue has been earned or every future operating outcome is guaranteed.
For the HPA pathway, the commercial status is different. In August 2026, Andromeda and Traxys North America announced a non-binding heads of agreement (HOA) for a potential US supply route. Traxys described intended negotiations for a five-year sales agency agreement targeting 2,000 tonnes a year. Those are proposed negotiation terms, not binding annual sales. The Traxys announcement identifies the HOA as non-binding.

In short, the kaolin offtakes are reported as binding contracts for planned Stage 1A+ products; the proposed HPA arrangement is still at the non-binding HOA stage. Neither category should be confused with completed sales.
What does the 99.9986% HPA result prove?
On 24 August 2026, Andromeda announced that its continuous pilot plant had produced HPA from Great White kaolin at 99.9986% purity. The company said EAG Eurofins independently analysed the material. Andromeda identifies 99.99% as the 4N specification threshold, so the reported result exceeded that threshold at pilot scale. Its pilot-scale announcement describes the result and analysis.

The scale qualification is essential. Continuous pilot production is a more operationally meaningful milestone than laboratory-scale work, because it shows the process running continuously at pilot scale with the project’s feedstock. It does not establish that the process is ready for commercial-scale production, that customers have qualified the product, or that commercial sales have begun. Andromeda’s FY2026 report says the pilot was commissioned after the financial year-end, with optimisation and testwork continuing; it also describes work toward customer evaluation and an HPA Pre-Feasibility Study.
The company’s FY2026 report also gives HPA scoping-study estimates of approximately A$1.01 billion post-tax NPV10, 69% post-tax IRR, A$155 million capital expenditure and approximately A$4,718 per tonne operating cost. These are study estimates, not achieved operating results or guaranteed returns. They depend on the study’s assumptions and should not be treated as evidence that the HPA pathway is financed or commercially proven.

What must happen before the project is operating?
For Great White’s kaolin development, the principal near-term dependency described in the FY2026 report is securing the remaining funding and reaching FID. The completed early works and binding offtakes are meaningful progress, but they do not replace those decisions. A reader following the project should distinguish reported preparation and contracts from financed construction, commissioning and product delivery.
For HPA, the next challenges are process optimisation, continued testwork, customer evaluation and qualification, and a planned Pre-Feasibility Study, followed by the work needed to establish commercial-scale production and definitive sales terms. The 2026 purity result supports the technical case for continued development; it does not settle those commercial and scale-up questions.

The most useful status check is therefore to track separate milestones rather than treat the project as a single “ready” package: funding and FID for Stage 1A+; construction and eventual deliveries for kaolin; and scale-up, customer qualification and binding commercial terms for HPA. The reported achievements are real milestones, but the remaining steps still carry execution risk.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 4N HPA?
“4N” is a purity designation meaning 99.99% purity. Andromeda reported 99.9986% in its continuous pilot-scale result, but purity alone does not show whether a customer has qualified the material for a specific application.
What’s actually slowing this PC down?
Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
Has Andromeda signed an HPA offtake contract with Traxys?
The cited August 2026 announcement describes a non-binding HOA and intended negotiations for a possible sales agency agreement. It does not establish a definitive HPA offtake contract or committed annual sales.
Is the 34.6 Mt Great White figure an ore reserve?
No. Andromeda’s project page labels the figure a mineral resource estimate. A mineral resource should not be treated as an ore reserve or as proof that the entire quantity will be economically extracted.
What is the difference between an offtake agreement and a sales agency HOA?
An offtake agreement is a binding commitment to purchase or sell specified production under its contract terms. The Traxys HPA HOA is described as non-binding and sets out proposed terms for negotiation, so it does not provide the same level of sales certainty.
