Carbine Resources Limited provided an update on the 100% owned Muchea West Silica Sands Project. A maiden Exploration Target has now been estimated for the Muchea West Project as follows: E70/4905 - 800 to 1030 Mt of Silica Sand at an average grade of 99.6 to 99.9 % SiO2. Eastern High Purity sub section - 400 to 480 Mt of Silica Sand at an average grade of 99.7 to 99.9 % SiO2. Preliminary test work completed on samples from the Muchea West Project have also indicated that the grade of the in situ silica sand is sufficient to meet the requirements for Float and Container glass market. Further, test work indicates that this unusually high grade, following a simple processing route, can result in a number of products at the Premium end of the Silica Glass Market, including the ultra clear, high tech glass market. The Muchea West Project is located approximately 40km north-northeast of Perth and approximately 500m to the west of Muchea. Direct access from the tenure is via the Brand Highway thence via farm tracks and fence lines. Both the Brand Highway and the Moora-Kwinana Railway provide a direct connection with the Kwinana Bulk Terminal. The Muchea West Project is located directly adjacent to VRX Silica Ltd.'s Muchea Project. A total of 82 vacuum drill holes (78 drill holes to a depth of 10m and 4 drill holes to depths between 15m and 20m) were drilled at nominal 200m spacing on six drill lines along existing tracks within the tenement area. This drilling was completed by Australian United Silica Corporation Pty Ltd. (Ausco). Previously the area within the tenement has been drilled for water and this drilling resulted in 28 water bores. The drilling encountered unconsolidated sand and was terminated either at designated depth or the water table. For the vacuum drilling, 1 metre downhole samples were collected at each drilling location. Vacuum drill samples are collected in a plastic tub and homogenised, rotary split into one larger sample bag (3kg) and 2 smaller 250g subsamples. One of the subsamples is prepared for laboratory and the other is retained for repeat analysis and QA/QC purposes. The bulk sample is retained for later metallurgical test work. The sample splitter and cyclone are cleaned regularly to prevent sample contamination. Drilled samples for each 1 m interval were also placed into chip trays which are then photographed to provide a permanent record of the downhole lithology. Detailed visual assessment and logging of sample recovery are provided in the drill logs. The first metre of all the drill holes is mainly the humus layer and, as such, not assayed. The sample assays were carried out to determine the major and trace elements such as SiO 2 (%), Fe2O3 (%), Al2O3 (%), CaO (%) MgO (%), K2O (%), TiO2 (%) and LOI (%). Major and trace elements in exception to SiO2 were analysed using a four-acid digest followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical (Atomic) Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis. Loss on Ignition (LOI) at 10000C was analysed by Thermal Gravimetric Analyser. SiO2 was back calculated by subtracting all ICP major and trace elements plus LOI from 100%.
