It has been five years since getting and testing samples of an amazing porcelain-like, clean-burning, highly plastic middle-temperature stoneware raw material from south central Saskatchewan. It is far superior to anything we have now. But, due to mix-ups, it appeared its location had been lost! But coming here to search again has turned up new information and I am quite certain this is the site. Seeing and walking it has confirmed, contrary to the information we had, that the site is highly suitable for extraction. And, it is not the only site in the area, we are going to another that might be even better. The Whitemud clays here are quite different from those in our Ravenscrag quarry. On seeing the range and quality, I am beyond excited! There are a lot of ducks that have to be lined up to be able to actually extract from a site like this, but the location has a lot of advantages. The current economic realities will be a powerful motivator to developing Canadian clay sources.
