In 1994 a privately owned Queensland family company formed Chillagoe Perlite, the only open-cut mine in Australia 100% mined, manufactured, packaged, owned and operated, to specialise in the mining, manufacturing and supply of Perlite. In 2002 the vermiculite division was added to process South African ore.
Since then we have continued to mine and manufacture the highest quality Perlite and vermiculite products and distribute them into Agricultural, Hydroponic, Horticultural, Food, Wine, Swimming, Foundry, Industrial and Construction Markets in not only Australia but the Middle-East, Asia and New Zealand.
