Below taken direct from the DFS:

Page 1:
Overview
The Great White Kaolin Project (GWKP, or the Project) comprises the following:

Site preparation and development, including bulk earthworks and construction of an access road to the mine-site.
Upgrade and maintain the local Poochera - Port Kenny Road from Streaky Bay Road to the mine access road.
Upgrade of the Streaky Bay Pilot Plant (SBPP) to facilitate production of high value products for customers.
Open pit mining using conventional mining equipment (excavator and truck, ripping dozer, loader and truck, or scrapers). (I think this is the starter plant machinery required)
Construction of a wet processing plant, in a staged approach.
Ore from within the extraction pit stockpiled for blending into wet processing plant located to the east of the mine.

Taken from pages 9 & 10:

Conventional mining methods using excavators and off-road mining trucks will be utilised to move ore and overburden. Topsoil and subsoil will be pushed up and moved as required. The mining method and overburden return/washed sand concepts were devised to reduce capital and operating costs, while taking into consideration environmental, physical, technical and operational aspects of the Project. In particular, the mining system eliminates the need for an above-ground sand storage facility and minimises rehandling of soil and overburden. It is proposed that initially a mining contractor will be used to provide safety and training systems, resourcing and equipment.
The mining cycle involves topsoil, subsoil and overburden removal prior to excavating the kaolin ore. Soils will be pushed up using a dozer and stockpiled for ease of replacement during rehabilitation.

I highligted in bold what I think the starter plant refers to. i.e the initial plant to get things moving ready for the Construction of a wet processing plant, in a staged approach.

Good work Bioalltheway!
"Construction of a wet processing plant, in a staged approach". ..... in other words a Starter plant as stage 1.

It has been there in the DFS all the time.

Many plants are built in stages or trains - why should ADN be any different?
