The Kangaroo Island China Stone and Clay Company and Its Forerunners
The Kangaroo Island China Stone and Clay Company and its Forerunners ‘There’s more stuff at Chinatown – more tourmalines, more china clay, silica, and mica – than was ever taken out of it’. Harry Willson in 1938.1 Introduction In September 2016 a licence for mineral exploration over several hectares on Dudley Peninsula, Kangaroo Island expired. The licensed organisation had searched for ‘ornamental minerals’ and kaolin.2 Those commodities, tourmalines and china stone, were first mined at this site inland and west of Antechamber Bay some 113 years ago. From March 1905 to late 1910, following the close of tourmaline extraction over 1903-04, the Kangaroo Island China Stone and Clay Company mined on the same site south-east of Penneshaw, and operated brick kilns within that township. This paper outlines the origin and short history of that minor but once promising South Australian venture. Tin and tourmaline The extensive deposits inadvertently discovered during the later phase of tourmaline mining were of china (or Cornish) stone or clay (kaolin), feldspar (basically aluminium silicates with other minerals common in all rock types), orthoclase (a variant of feldspar), mica, quartz, and fire-clay. The semi-precious gem tourmaline had been chanced upon in a corner trench that remained from earlier fossicking for tin.3 The china stone and clay industry that was poised to supply Australia’s potteries with almost all their requisite materials and to stimulate ceramic production commonwealth-wide arose, therefore, from incidental mining in the one area.4 About 1900, a granite dyke sixteen kilometres south-east of Penneshaw was pegged out for the mining of allegedly promising tin deposits.
