Laboratory testing of samples from dam and Lake bank exposures has shown the clay to be a high quality plastic type suitable for use in whiteware manufacture. Exposures are limited and a programme of exploratory mapping and drilling is recommended to select a quarry site. The clay samples contain fine silica which cannot be removed by beneficiation and washing was necessary to remove salt. Representative samples are required to determine the uniformity of the deposit in respect to silica and the salt content of the clay at depth.
