“There is nothing more steadfast than the earth beneath our feet, and nothing more enduring than the work of those who know it well.” — inspired by Henry Lawson

Australia’s landscapes are as vast and inspiring as they are diverse—from the sunburnt bushlands immortalized by Lawson and Paterson, to modern urban homes striving for sustainability and wellbeing.


At Hudson Resources, we supply high-quality raw ore of freshwater Diatomaceous Earth (DE) and Attapulgite Clay, forming the foundation for diverse number of natural solutions across homes, pets, farms, and industry. Depending on processing and treatment, these raw minerals can be tailored to meet specific application requirements, making them incredibly versatile.


Hudson Diatomaceous Earth and Hudson Attapulgite supply premium raw ore of freshwater Diatomaceous Earth (DE) and Attapulgite Clay, mined from Western Australia. These naturally occurring minerals are supplied in their raw, unprocessed form for further treatment and processing by end users to suit specific applications.


While Hudson Resources provides the foundational raw materials, the end uses—including household, pet, agricultural, or industrial applications—depend on how the minerals are processed, refined, or treated after supply.


Australian landscapes, from the sunburnt bushlands immortalized by Lawson and Paterson to modern urban homes focused on sustainability, provide the backdrop for these exceptional natural minerals. Hudson Resources’ freshwater DE and Attapulgite Clay are prized for their purity, absorbency, and chemical-free natural composition, offering flexibility to create a wide range of products once processed.


Bush Heritage – Minerals from the Land

In keeping with Australia’s bush heritage, these minerals reflect a long-standing connection between people, land, and natural resources. Although Hudson does not process or refine the minerals, end users can adapt freshwater Diatomaceous Earth and Attapulgite Clay for applications such as poultry bedding, livestock dusting, odour control, or moisture management, depending on their processing methods. These applications are examples of potential end uses rather than services provided by Hudson Resources.


  • Poultry & Eggs: After processing, minerals can be used for hygienic bedding, odour management, and parasite control.

  • Livestock & Cattle: Minerals may be treated for dusting to help reduce pests and improve animal comfort.

  • Farm & Garden Hygiene: Processed DE and clay can manage moisture and odours in barns, pens, or outdoor areas.


Modern Applications – Homes, Pets, and Industry

Once processed appropriately, freshwater DE and Attapulgite Clay can be incorporated into chemical-free household, pet, and industrial solutions. Examples include moisture and odour absorption for pet bedding or turf, natural pest control, and other hygiene-related products. Hudson Resources provides the raw materials that make these applications possible but does not manufacture, process, or guarantee the performance of any final product.
