Bentonite overview

A focused development route

The proposed route begins with raw bentonite for processors. Milling, classification or activation may follow when testing, customer requirements and delivered economics support investment. Golden Sands may also acquire further parcels as the project develops.

Exploration & Development

A focused development route

A staged commercial route.

01

Raw material first.

Supply raw bentonite to processors once the material meets their requirements and the supply route is ready.

02

Then, selective processing.

Consider milling, classification or activation when testing, customer requirements and delivered economics support the investment.

Opening exploration-stage round
