RB 91/00008 Birdwood kaolin deposit - Results of investigations on kaolin rheology and gold distribution in the weathered zone. (Adelaide Brighton Cement Ltd).
Two bulk samples from high-grade kaolin zones in ABC Ltd South and ABC Ltd North pits were taken to test the suitability of the <2um size fraction for use as a coating clay. The samples gave a relatively high yield of <2um size particles which...-
