european presentation

Austpac will be presenting to investors next week in Geneva, Switzerland. Good to see some international exposure to the company.

Here is some details:

The Company will be presented by:
Mr. Michael Turbott, Managing Director
Accompanied by Mr Trevor Baldock, Europe - Australia Investor Relations (Paris)

Austpac Resources N.L. (ASX Code: APG) is a minerals technology company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange since 1986.

Austpac has developed world-leading technology for the production of synthetic rutile ("synrutile") from ilmenite for the titanium pigment and metal industries, and new technologies for the treatment of iron oxide waste and iron ore fines with significant environmental benefits for steel producers world-wide.

The Company’s superior patented technologies include:
· ERMS SR – a unique process to transform ilmenite, a common titanium mineral, to produce two saleable products: ultra high grade synthetic rutile and metallic iron pellets
· EARS – a new process to transform waste iron chloride solutions from the titanium and steel industries, together with iron oxides wastes, into recycled hydrochloric acid and saleable iron pellets
· DRI – a remarkable new value adding technology which enables the production of direct reduced iron ("DRI") from iron ore fines - a highly desirable feedstock for steel producers

BHP Billiton has invested in Austpac for the construction of a large Demonstration Plant to produce ultra high grade synthetic rutile and an iron metal co-product early in 2008. Near term growth plans are in place for several other patented technologies, including environmentally friendly recycling of steel industry wastes.

Austpac offers investors exposure to world class proprietary value adding technology which is widely applicable to the growing world titanium and steel industries. The entry price is modest and the growth opportunities are exciting. The support of partners like BHP Billiton and OneSteel also significantly reduces the commercial risk.
