Strong maiden resource for Abercorn kaolin project

Industrial metal developer Metalsearch has announced a maiden mineral resource for its Abercorn project, about 135km south of Gladstone.

The total resource at the kaolin prospect is 39.06 million tonnes yielding 36.8 per cent -20µm fraction grading 28.6 per cent alumina and 1.18 per cent potassium oxide.

About 60 per cent of that resource is classified as indicated and it remains open in all directions, with less than 10 per cent of the project area having been drilled.

"We are pleased to have delivered such a strong maiden JORC. . .

More good news from Abercorn drilling

Metalsearch expects to report a maiden mineral resource for its Abercorn project 'in the near future' after results from the final 34 holes in a recent 62-hole aircore drilling program.

The drilling campaign had demonstrated that the Abercorn project contained significant scale and a very consistent, high quality grade of mineralisation, Metalsearch said.

The project, about 135km south of Gladstone, is described as a large-scale kaolin prospect with potential to underpin the production of high-purity alumina (HPA), aluminium sulfate (ALUM) and synthetic zeolite.

Abercorn project delivers for Metalsearch

Metalsearch says it is continuing to receive consistent high-grade intersections of good quality kaolin at its Abercorn project , about 135km south of Gladstone.

Abercorn is described as a large-scale kaolin prospect with potential to underpin the production of high-purity alumina (HPA), aluminium sulfate (ALUM) and synthetic zeolite. 

Metalsearch completed a 62-hole aircore drilling program at the project last quarter, ranging in depth from 23m to 51m.

Results have been received for 28 holes to date, showing an average of almost 30 per cent aluminium oxide.
