Appraisal of a newly discovered large deposit of kaolin, found in the near surface regolith to Archaean basement on two farms situated 7 km south of Mount Hope on southern Eyre Peninsula, has consisted of further air/rotary drilling (35 holes, total...

In order to further test a large Delamerian granite pluton for its potential to host an economic porphyry molybdenum deposit of the Climax, Colorado type (following initial exploratory drilling and IP surveys that had been carried out by the SA...

Clay sample CE3989 has a brightness that is well below the requirements for a paper coating clay (85% or greater). Bleaching of the - 2 micron clay fraction increased the brightness to filler grade requirements (75-85%). Clay sample CE4008 has a...

The Cromer-C clay deposit consists of three groups of workings extending over 1¼ miles in fractured greywacke rooks of the Kanmantoo Group of sediments. The white clay is derived from kaolinisation of the original sediments possibly due to hydro...

Imbitcha clay deposit occurs in marine Cretaceous shales which have been incorporated in the basal mottled zone of a laterite profile. Reserves may total millions of tons, but problems of extraction and the alunite content of the clay probably make it...

Wet processed china clay rock is suitable as filler in paper manufacture and, with further reduction in grit content, for coating paper. Dry processed clay not bright enough for paper manufacture.

At the request of the South Australian Department of Mines a survey of current Australian usage of mineral fillers and pigments was made. The survey was intended to determine the consumptions and specifications typical of various industries and to...

2 beneficiated samples were tested. Wet processed sample suitable for ceramic whiteware and refractory clay, and if more finely washed, may be suitable in high grade paper manufacture. Dry processed clay has unsuitable ceramic properties.

Recoverable reserves of quartz-kaolin rock have been proved by auger drilling to amount to 20,000 cubic, covered by 4,000 cubic yards of overburden. The clay occurs in a bedded sequence of Precambrian rocks and prospecting around a regional syncline...

Birdwood Kaolin Clay was subjected to the normal methods of acid leaching and acid salt roasting, but did not produce a sufficiently activated product for use as a decolourising agent.
