GOLDEN SANDS / Exploration
From drilling to tonnage and grade.
The first work program will assess where bentonite occurs, its quantity and its properties before a supply decision.
The path to a supply decision
The exploration program will assess the three parcels and inform a decision on commercial supply. These are planned milestones; timing depends on the work program, approvals and test results.
- 01
Prepare to drill
Define drill locations, access, approvals and the costed work program.
Initial work program - 02
Drill and test
Log the material’s occurrence, thickness and variation. Collect representative samples and establish composition and relevant properties.
Initial work program - 03
Estimate and qualify
Combine geological and test data to assess parcel-level tonnage and grade, then test fit with buyer specifications.
Subject to results - 04
Evaluate supply
Cost the operating route, consider delivered economics and assess readiness for potential commercial supply.
Subject to results
Requirements beyond the material
Planned drilling and any later operation depend on applicable approvals, land access, environmental requirements, logistics and operating readiness. Company registration does not establish that project approvals are in place.
Resource reporting
The company reports historical indications of potential for millions of tonnes of bentonite across the wider area in Jordan. This is regional context, not a quantity or grade estimate for the three Golden Sands parcels. An initial parcel-level estimate will follow drilling, sampling and laboratory testing only when supported by the results.
Quality and delivered cost determine the product case.
Assess the realised selling price against the full cost to serve before making a supply or processing decision.
The full cost to serve
Extraction and preparation · Saleable yield and packaging · Transport and working capital
Next evidence: supplier quotations, processing trials and buyer price benchmarks.
Opening exploration-stage round
Investment & strategic partnership.
Golden Sands welcomes investors, processors and other bentonite industry partners to discuss the opening equity round and its plans for growth and land expansion in Jordan.
