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.
