Kimberley Minerals Ltd (KML) is an unlisted public Australian mineral explorer with over 600sq km of exploration tenements focused on the Hooper Complex in the West Kimberley of Western Australia.

KML has identified significant occurrences of high purity quartz, andalusite, kyanite, staurolite, almandine and spessartine garnet across the Company’s Hawkestone Creek project, taking its name from the nearby major watercourse.

Staurolite, the primary target mineral, like garnet is chemically inert and insoluble, with its high density and hardness making it an ideal choice for anti-slip coatings, surface preparation and protective coating industries. It also has a very high temperature tolerance and stability hence it can be an ideal refractory component. As an abrasive, staurolite can be recycled numerous times, potentially making it more cost effective and efficient than other media.

The target exploration minerals include:
Andalusite, Copper, Garnet, Kyanite, Muscovite, Nickel, Rutile, Sillimanite and Staurolite.
