Lanthanein Resources accomplishes first air core drilling at Koolya kaolin high-purity alumina project

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 1MINS READ

An initial air core first-pass drilling programme at Lanthanein Resources' Koolya Project in Western Australia has concluded after 599 metres of drilling and with unprecedented visual results.

Brian Thomas, the Technical Director at Lanthanein Resources, said, "The results highlight a significant amount of high-quality bright white kaolin at the project."

Due to its conversion into high-purity alumina (HPA), which is used in Li-ion batteries, LED lighting, semiconductors, and sapphire glass, high-purity kaolin is becoming increasingly important as a vital mineral.

Contrarily, halloysite can be applied in nanotechnologies for various commercial purposes, including carbon sequestration, agriculture, energy, and health.

Thomas stated, "Samples will be sent for dual analysis for rare earth and to identify if the mineral – halloysite – is present. “Exploring critical minerals is paramount for our company as we aim to find the future-facing minerals used in the global clean energy transition.”

Future of the Global Aluminium Castings Industry

The current drilling programme has spanned 25 kilometres of prospective kaolin-rich granite, intersecting widespread kaolin of varying thicknesses.

The samples will now be analyzed to determine specific characteristics such as ISO brightness, alumina content, halloysite, and rare earth. However, for the second half of 2023, more infill and step-out drilling will be finished to help with a mineral resource estimate.
