Extensive wollastonite mineralization has recently been identified in the Tonopah district of Nevada. According to Sikaman Gold Resources (TSE), the wollastonite mineralization meets industrial standards, and preliminary tests indicate that a marketable product can be produced from the deposit. Diamond and reverse circulation drilling on Sikaman’s prospect has confirmed widespread wollastonite mineralization to a depth of 500 ft. Follow-up drilling will attempt to establish a minimum of two million tons of material grading more than 50% wollastonite.
Wollastonite is an industrial mineral used in ceramics, plastics, paint and metallurgical fluxes and as a replacement for asbestos in many products.
