Dec 07, 2005 (D Draper) - Hole SDT-1 was drilled to 113m, through Quaternary overburden to 35.75m then into non-calcareous Cretaceous sediments. This consisted of: silica sand - kaolin with minor interbeds of grey and brown fireclays from 35.75m to 93m; dense black to brown carbonaceous clays to 105m; fine-grained grey sands to bottom of hole.

Mar 20, 2014 (D Draper) - Analyses of kaolin - silica sand (kss) from hole STD-1: mean moisture content - 11.7%; mean glass grade fraction - 53%, with a maximum of 87%; mean kaolin fraction - 13%, with a maximum of 37%. Eleven samples of washed silica sand fractions all returned over 99% SiO2 with a maximum Fe2O3 of 0.07%. Analytical results determined that the silica was of high quality and purity and could be readily beneficiated to glass grade or for use as smelter flux. The kaolin however was found to be substandard for paper coating applications due to fine silica contamination, but still suitable for paper filling.
