Supply & logistics options from Badgingarra, Western Australia - Diatomaceous earth
Bulk supply from mine site (Badgingarra) — Hudson can load bulk trucks directly from the stockpile at the Badgingarra site for local/regional collection or onward cartage.
Ex-Geraldton collection — material can be delivered to Geraldton for collection at or staged for export via the Port of Geraldton (regional export & break-bulk). Geraldton is the closest regional port for heavy bulk shipments.
Freight to destination (domestic / interstate / international) — Hudson can arrange freight to final destination (by road to Perth / Fremantle or to Geraldton for sea freight).
Road distance estimates: Badgingarra → Geraldton ~219–224 km by road;
Badgingarra → Fremantle/Perth region ~215–260 km depending on route and destination point.
Use Geraldton for shorter regional export logistics; Fremantle (Port of Fremantle / Perth) is the major international port option.
(Practical note: buyers should confirm preferred port and freight operator; shipping cost is strongly influenced by bulk density, moisture and packaging choice — loose bulk, bulka-bags or containerised loads.)
Why bulk Diatomaceous earth (amorphous silica) bulk raw ore from Western Australia?
Bulk raw diatomaceous earth ore from Badgingarra is of interest to a range of suppliers and end user parties that prefer to do their own processing or blending:
Industrial processors — companies that micronize, calcine, classify or mill diatomaceous earth (diatomite, DE) into filter-aid, filler, or specialised grades.
Agricultural product manufacturers — producers of soil amendments, fertiliser blends, horticulture media and potting mixes.
Animal health & feed ingredient blenders — manufacturers who formulate poultry/livestock bedding, pest control dusts, or inert carriers for supplements (subject to regulatory testing & approvals).
Poultry / livestock large users — operations that use huge volumes for bedding/absorbent applications and can handle raw ore processing on site or by a local contractor.
Bulk merchants & resellers / commodity traders — wholesalers who aggregate and supply processed or partially processed fractions to downstream markets domestically or for export.
Industrial absorbent & spill control manufacturers — firms that blend DE with other minerals for industrial sorbents.
Selling raw ore lets these suppliers remove third party processing costs and tailor treatment to their exact specification.
Why diatomaceous earth (amorphouse silica) bulk raw ore is attractive — cost & flexibility
Lower upfront processing cost — buyers avoid paying the mine for milling, calcining or micronising; they can process only to the grade they need (cheaper if the buyer already has local processing capability).
Customisable product specification — raw ore allows buyers to sieve, mill, calcine or blend with other clays/additives to meet discrete market specs (e.g., filter-aid vs feed vs horticulture).
Domestic / interstate / international supply flexibility — purchasers can choose the most cost-effective processing location (closest site with existing equipment) which can reduce freight and handling costs overall.
Economies of scale — bulk purchase of raw ore (tonnage discounts) often reduces per-tonne landed cost once the buyer’s processing is factored in.
Attapulgite clay — Western Australia, optional co-supply & blending benefits
Hudson can also consider attapulgite clay raw ore shipments on request. Blending attapulgite with DE can yield functional benefits depending on application:
Improved binding / viscosity in some formulations (attapulgite has thixotropic properties).
Enhanced water retention and structural stability in soil/peat blends.
Synergistic absorbency and particle packing for some industrial absorbent products.
Buyers who require specific blend ratios or functional performance can request trial blends and joint sampling. (Regulatory/compliance tests apply if intended for feed or food-contact uses.)

Short next-steps checklist for interested parties of diatomaceous earth from Western Australia
Consider intended end-use of diatomaceous earth (amorphous silica) (filter, feed, bedding, horticulture, filler, etc.).
Request a sample of diatomaceous earth (Email: hudsonresources@hpgl.com.au or call 02 9251 7177).
Specify preferred logistics of diatomaceous earth: pick up at mine, delivery to Geraldton for collection, or freight to destination (domestic port / Fremantle).
Arrange lab testing of diatomaceous earth and, if satisfactory, consider price terms, incoterms (ex-mine / ex-Geraldton / FCA port), and preferred packaging.
