160 000 m3 of stone in situ is required to supply crushed rock and sealing aggregate. Diamond drilling of 2 calcrete hard, grey dolomite outcrops 4.5 km NW of Lipson revealed a deep weathering profile in section 413. Inferred reserves at the northern site on section 414 are 75 000 m3 but additional drilling will be necessary to confirm this. An alternative quarry site was subsequently proven in a microgranite deposit 10 km SE of the Uranno railway siding.
