Allup Silica Limited to advise it has made applications for new projects in Western Australia and the Northern Territory which it considers prospective for silica sand. Allup has made lodgement of exploration licence applications (ELAs) for the Blue Vein (ELA 70/6170) and Trigger Fish (ELA 33298) projects to the WA Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety and the NT Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade. Allup has also made an exploration licence application to extend the size of its Dune Buggy tenement holdings.

In addition, the Board of Allup Silica has decided to withdraw its application for an exploration licence for the Antwalker project. The Board believes the changes to its tenement portfolio will optimise the Company's opportunities for project development, given the early-stage nature of these projects. Allup will redirect the funds previously earmarked for those projects that are being withdrawn to new exploration applications or other key silica sands projects within its portfolio.
