Pittong Operations
The 100% owned Pittong Operations, located in Victoria 40km west of Ballarat, is the sole wet kaolin mine and processing

are 10% moisture lump, high solids slurry, 1% moisture powder and 1% moisture pulverised powder. The solids slurry is used
in paper and board manufacturing. The other products are used in paper, coatings, paint and specialist industries including
rubber and pharmaceutical applications. Around 20-25kt per annum is supplied to various end users.
3.74Mt Indicated and 1.97Mt Inferred Mineral Resource of kaolinized granite.
Gabbin Kaolin Project
The 100% owned Gabbin Kaolin Project (White Cloud) is located 215km northeast of Perth, Western Australia. The project
area comprises four granted exploration licences (E70/5039, E70/5332, E70/5333, E70/5517) for 413km2, centred around
the town and rail siding of Gabbin.
The generally flat area is primarily cleared farming land devoid of native bushland and is currently used for broad-acre cereal
cropping. A mining access agreement is in place over the current resource area with the landowner and occupier.
The main rock types at Gabbin are primarily Archaean granite, gneiss, and migmatite. These rocks are overlain and obscured
by Tertiary sand and Quaternary sheetwash. The weathering profile is very deep and contains thick kaolin horizons capped
by mottled clays or laterite zones. The current JORC 2012 Mineral Resources are 72.5Mt of bright white kaolinised granite
with an ISO Brightness of 80.5%.

Eneabba Plain whose sandy cover is very flat to gently undulating. Outcrop is rare due to the accumulations of windblown
and alluvial sand at surface. Below this is a thin hard silcrete or lateritic claypan which overlies deep white and yellow
sands. Preliminary exploration has included 54 drillholes for 1,620 metres to depths of up to 30m. This program is
anticipated to deliver an initial resource for the project and a process route
