WA KAOLIN LIMITED WA Kaolin Ltd. provided an operational update as the Company approaches the commencement of Stage 1 production at the Wickepin Kaolin Project. In June 2022, WA Kaolin achieved practical completion of its Wickepin Plant on budget. The Company has commenced the commissioning of its Stage 1 Production plant and is on schedule to commence its Stage 1 production in late August.
After commencing production, the output of Stage 1 is planned to steadily build up to the plant's nameplate capacity of 25 tonnes per hour (200,000tpa) by calendar year-end. Strong demand within the kaolin market has seen WA Kaolin secure offtake agreements and LOIs which cover 90% of the Stage 1 output, prior to the commencement of production.
