Geological and topographical mapping of a white kaolin clay claim on section 166, Hundred Para Wirra, and laboratory ceramic investigation of representative borehole samples has been conducted. White clay, formed by intense leaching of Kanmantoo rocks, is refractory and potentially useful in ceramics. However the deposit is not fully defined and further exploration by drilling and trenching is recommended. Possible reserves amount to 13000 cubic yards (20000 tons) of clay under 11000 cubic yards of overburden and occurs in a thin bed overlying coloured clay. There is some suggestion of thickening to the north.
