Ipoh Kaolin Deposit
The cutting of hill slopes between km 12 and km 13 of the Simpang Pulai-Pos Slim road has exposed extensive occurrence of massive white kaolinitic clay. Major occurrences of kaolinised overburden are found in at least 3 cut slopes along a 1-km stretch of the road that cut through part of the Bukit Lampas. Figure 3 shows the extensive formation of kaolinised material on a cut slopes in the vicinity of Bukit Lampas. This cut slope is covered by massive kaolinised material encompassing an estimated area of 2000 m2. The kaolin occurrence lies on a gentle to medium slope between the elevations of 135 m and 180 m. It is bordered on the southern side by Sg. Anak Ayer China, the road and a logging track on the western flank.
