WA Kaolin Limited is an Australia-based mineral exploration, extraction and processing company. The Company's principal activities are the exploration and development of an inferred mineral resource of high-grade premium kaolinized granite, proprietary production and value-adding processes. The Company's operations comprise its 100%-owned Wickepin Processing Plant and mining tenement in East Wickepin. It holds the Wickepin Kaolin Project, around 220 kilometers south-east of Perth, a mineral resource (Joint Ore Reserve Committee 2012) of 643 million tons, including an ore reserve estimate of 64.9 million tons of kaolinized granite. Its prospects include Southwest Kaolin, Balgulpinn, Levi, Walters Hill, Doraking, Wickepin (L70/156) and Wickepin (G70/251). The Company has secured Kwinana property on lease. The Wickepin processing plant has been constructed to utilize its proprietary dry processing method, the K99 Process, developed by it for the high-grade Wickepin kaolin resource.
