Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited announced that an aircore drilling campaign will begin at its 100% owned hydrous kaolin operations located 40km west of Ballarat. The drilling will be undertaken at the Pittong mine and at the Trawalla deposit. The Pittong mine has been in operation for 45 years delivering high quality kaolin products to customers globally. The drilling campaign will convert current PERC (Pan-European Reserves & Resources Reporting Committee) reserves and resources into JORC compliant ones. A total of 52 drillholes will be completed in the program: 40 holes at Pittong and 12 holes at Trawalla. Holes are expected to terminate at around 30m from surface. Part of the drilling campaign will comprise step-out drilling to the south of the existing Pittong pit where mineralization is open. This step out drilling will be undertaken with the objective of expanding known kaolin reserves. Samples will be delivered to the Pittong plant where some will be processed to assist with standardization of results. The remainder will be delivered to accredited metallurgical laboratories for testing in Australia. The drilling campaign and the associated metallurgical laboratory testing are expected to be completed in March with results due in April. The results will be analyzed by CSA Global who will compile the resource model and JORC compliant reserves and resources data. Once completed, this exercise will enable the Company to plan for future production increases by optimizing mining methods and improving processing and production from know kaolin reserves.
