NOT much market. Yeah novice metal gal, like the Carlin Trend, The Cortez Trend ( both in Nevada ) - the Great Basin Coppers in NV and AZ and COLO and all that are around there. Then the entire west from the coast to the near Great Lakes Suplhides at Lake Superior, then over the Borders to both Ontario to Manitoba, aand for that matter At SASH, ALTA, and BC....year forget about Alaska Sulphides also, and the bay of PGMs there and at Vancouver Island.
Chuckauxidesandsuphidesandanythinginbetween CAN BE MILLED and IS these past decades.
Just so that we don't FIND and MINE CLAY: Probably CLAY we find? Laughts in jest I certainly hope we don't find CLAY. BTW, like I did. Two years ectra I studied CLAY ...nothing earned! Nothing GAINED...LOL. Maonies wasted, yes, knowledge is power on mining and millsites studied...what I want is METALS, SFA ( Standard Fire Assayable) METALS, TRENCH SAMPLED METALS, recognized Labs and Engineering reports on METALS...and in a word: METALRESERVES!

According to information provided by Alchemy, the plan calls for the development of two mining sites, one in residual clays and the other in sedimentary clays, to provide sufficient feedstock to operate the pilot facility. Completion of this phase of exploration and development will allow Alchemy to implement plans for building a full production facility in the coming year.

Each of the sample mining sites will be approximately 1 acre in size, with additional ground disturbing activities covering a total of 4.78 acres. Surface soils will be stockpiled in the operation and kept biologically active until the sites are reclaimed at a soil farm. Ten to fifteen feet of red, near surface clay, will also be stockpiled to help return the site to ecological productivity following completion of the sampling program. The plan calls for extensive environmental studies and for Alchemy to reclaim lands previously mined by other companies to assist in improving environmental quality in the area.

"The company is very pleased to have advanced the project from the perspective of the ability to process clay, and now the company is moving closer to the ability to mine clay by way of its application to take a bulk sample," stated company President Roderick Christie in a press release. "The company is preparing to produce sufficient processed clay to meet the demands of customers seeking samples for testing. Paper companies, for an example, require 10 tons of clay for each paper production test to insure that future clay meets quality requirements."

The clay from the bulk sample sites will be processed to make 20,000 tons of kaolin in various grades and specifications for numerous industrial users. Ceramics clays, filler and extender clays, ball clays, refractories and agricultural clays are among the products expected to be available for testing from the work.
