Exploration and Development

During the quarter, the Company announced a series of drilling campaigns for its 100% owned White Cloud Kaolin and Nova Silica Sand projects. The White Cloud Kaolin drilling campaigns consisted firstly of infill drilling of the existing known JORC inferred resource of 31.5mt of bright white kaolinzed grantie to upgrade its classification from inferred to Indicated, and secondly a step-out drilling campaign to increase the size of the overall kaolin inferred resource. Testing of the infill drilling is expected to be completed in late January with the step-out drilling campaign results expected during February.

Detailed metallurgical beneficiation test work is now being conducted by Startum Resources in NSW before a final full suite of tests will be conducted by Nagrom in Western Australia with results expected late February or early March.

The 100% owned exploration licence E70/5334 covering an area of some 14,500 hectares as shown in the following map, was granted during the quarter. The area is located some 50kms west of the White Cloud kaolin project just south of Cadoux in the Central North Wheatbelt region.
