Kaoclay increases kaolin reserves

摘要

Kaoclay Resources' Sparta Kaolin subsidiary has found several kaolin deposits at its properties in Georgia and South Carolina. An extensive exploration program this past year has identified 20 individual deposits in 10 separate target areas, Kaoclay Resources said. The indicated resources in those deposits are about 69.6 Mt (76.7 million st), the company said. Of that, about 60.1 Mt (66.2 million st) averages a GE brightness greater than 88. The resource could yield 20.9 Mt (23 million st) of finished kaolin products, 2 Mt (2.2 million st) of finished mica products and 24.3 Mt (27.8 million st) of industrial sands.
