Summary
Australian Silica Quartz Group Ltd (ASQ) has released encouraging preliminary results from kaolin testwork conducted in China using a bulk sample from their White Swan Kaolin Project in Western Australia. Initial analysis showed a high kaolinite content, which was further increased through dry separation processes. The kaolin's suitability for ceramic applications was confirmed through successful firing tests. The company is exploring potential partnerships and offtake agreements in response to positive feedback from the Chinese ceramics industry, where a declining domestic supply has increased demand for reliable sources like White Swan.
Key Points
  • ASQ reported encouraging preliminary testwork results from the White Swan Kaolin Project.
  • High kaolinite content identified in initial mineralogical analysis.
  • Dry separation tests increased kaolinite content significantly.
  • Preliminary ceramic firing tests showed high brightness.
