The reported RC drilling at the Airfield Gold Project near Marvel Loch intersected thick >40m vertical kaolin clay development over a 300m strike at the Boomerang Prospect.
The 10m @ 7% Halloysite (downhole) as reported to ASX on 13 July 2021 has been confirmed by SEM imaging analysis by CSIRO (Adelaide).
The report noted “good particle separation and spread” for the Kaolinite/Halloysite in Figure 2 below.

Further RC and diamond drilling is planned in this quarter to test the volume of Kaolin at the Boomerang Project and provide material for initial metallurgical testwork which will be managed by Sedgman.
Sedgman have been appointed as metallurgical consultants to oversee the metallurgical testwork program for the Boomerang Kaolin Project.
