Altech Chemicals Limited advises that exploration licence E70/4718 (Kerrigan project) has been granted. The licence covers an area of approximately 480km2, is on freehold agricultural land and contains Inferred Kaolin Mineral Resources of 85 million tonnes at 85.1% brightness (JORC 2004).
The Kerrigan project is located approximately 20km south of the Western Australian wheat belt town of Hyden and 335km south east of Perth. The project is proximal to the Hyden to Lake Grace railway line (15km to the east), which connects to the port city of Albany, Western Australia; there are also established sealed roads from Hyden to Perth and the ports of Albany, Bunbury, Esperance and Fremantle.
As announced by the company on 24 August 2011, CRA Exploration conducted various mineral and chemical analysis on kaolin samples from various outcrops, diamond drill core and air core within the Kerrigan project.
Based on this analysis, which returned results showing the samples had low levels of impurities (such as iron and sodium) and were high in alumina, the company is considering undertaking it own sampling and analysis campaign for the project. The project may present an opportunity to provide kaolin as complementary high grade feedstock for the company's proposed Malaysian HPA project.
