Since 1886, kaolin has been mined on a small scale for ceramics, refractory bricks, industrial fillers, and cement manufacture Kaolin formed by deep weathering of a 30 m thick quartz–biotite schist unit at the top of the Adelaidean Saddleworth Formation The bulk of the ore is pale yellow to white sandy kaolin In South Africa, kaolin was located in the Cape Peninsula, Grahamstown district, Pretoria/Bronkhorstspruit area, Limpopo, Namaqualand, Mpumalanga, North West and KwazuluNatal (Department of Minerals and Energy, 2005) The occurrence of these and several other kaolins in several Central, Southern and West African countries and in particular Cameroon and Nigeria could be Kaolin deposits and occurrences in Africa: Geology Cape York Peninsula has a rlch and dlverse mlnlng hlstory dating from the dlscov ery of gold on the Palmer River by Wllliam Hann's expedition In 1872 Population centres such as Cooktown, Coen and Weipa owe thelr establishment to mlnlng The area has produced 206Mt of bauxlte, 583 481 t of kaolin 148Mt of silica sand,MINERALS ASSESSMENT Cape York NRM
