CHILLAGOE PERLITE

Australian Owned & Operated since 1994

Chillagoe Perlite owns and operates the only open-cut Perlite mine in Australia. This valuable Queensland natural resource was discovered by the owner in 1987, and is reportedly the largest volcanic glass ore deposit in the world. In 1994 Chillagoe Perlite formed to specialise in the mining, manufacturing and supply of Perlite, and since 2002 import South African Vermiculite which is accepted as the best available.

The Perlite and Vermiculite ores are transported to our Mareeba processing plants and then distributed nationally and internationally.
