Since being purchased, the mine has seen an increased valuation from $5.2 million to $122 million.
The current mining lease and permit allows extraction of up to 1 million tonnes of material per year up until 2033.
The full PPM resource is available for processing and offtake (40.0Mt). Currently there are no requirements to manage waste, overburden or spoil in the project plan due to the full resources being utilised
The Importance of Silica
Silica, silica sand or silicon dioxide is used for a wide variety of applications, particularly in industrial processing. Silica itself is quartz that over time, through the work of environmental factors has been broken down into tiny granules.
Did you know speciality glass, like your mobile phone screens, are made from sand? Now imagine a world without these devices, weâ??ve all become accustomed to using our devices to communicate with our loved ones, do work, our banking and always be connected. Sand is the second most mined resource in the world, with demands both globally and domestically here in Australia.
One of the areas where silica is used, is in all types of speciality glass which includes test tubes and other scientific tools, incandescent and fluorescent lamps, and television and computer CRT monitors etc. In fact, itâ??s also a crucial ingredient to construction aggregate.
Ultimately, the way in which silica sand is used is dependent on a variety of factors such as the chemical, physical and mechanical properties including colour, grain size, stability and strength. Part of these characteristics are dependent on the way in which the mineral is processed after the mining process.
Fracking. We have heard the term, but do we know what it means Fracking is short for hydraulic fracturing. It's a method of extracting natural gas and oil from shale deposits deep within the earth. Water, chemicals, and sand are pumped into these shale deposits under very high pressure which causes the shale to fracture, releasing the natural gas and oil trapped within. The slurry of water, chemicals, gas, and oil are then slowly pumped back out, leaving the sand to hold the fractures open so the mixture can be removed. As the slurry of chemicals, water, sand, gas and oil is pumped back out of the ground, it is separated into its different components and stored in tanks.
Description
Frac sand gets its name from its use in hydraulic fracturing (fracking), a completion method used by oil and natural gas companies to produce natural gas, natural gas liquids, and oil from unconventional, low permeability reservoirs such as shale.
It is a high-purity quartz sand with very round grains. It is very durable and provides a crush-resistant material used in oil and gas industries for hydraulic fracturing (also called fracking).
Proppants used in the petroleum industry must meet very demanding specifications. The typical characteristics of high quality frac sand include:
High-purity silica sand a grain size that is perfectly matched to job requirements a round shape that allows it to be carried in hydraulic fracturing fluid with little turbulence durability to resist the crushing forces of closing fractures.
It comes in various sizes. It can be as small as 0.1 millimeter in diameter to over 2 millimeters in diameter. Most frac sand used in oil and gas industries are between 0.4 and 0.8 millimeters in size.
Why Frac Sand Makes a Good Proppant?
After the surface pumps are turned off, the fractures contract but do not close completely because they are propped open by billions of grains of it. This occurs when there is sufficient sand remaining in the rock to resist the force of the closing fractures.

Description
Silica sand is distinguished by its high chemical purity. The SiO2 contents range in excess of 99.5%.Silica has a high melting point, making it an ideal product for use in foundries. For industrial and manufacturing applications, deposits of silica yielding products of at least 95-99% SiO2 are preferred. Silica is hard, chemically inert and has a high melting point, attributable to the strength of the bonds between the atoms

Sand has become a passion of ours due to the fact that we have seen so many beautiful volleyball courts over the years with horrible sand. Building a beach volleyball court with bad sand typically results in a court which doesnot get used. Most volleyball players new and experienced donot like to play beach volleyball in a cloud of dust or in sand that cuts up their knees and elbows.
You will want to deposit one to two feet of volleyball sand over the area prepped for drainage and rake level. Your budget may dictate the depth of sand used but keep in mind if you go with a lesser depth, plan on raking or shoveling back sand from the middle of your dished out court to the sides about once a week or more (depending on how often the court is used).
The playing area alone will consume approximately 100+ tons of sand at a depth of approximately 12 inches. Many customers purchase between 100-300 tons per court depending on the size of their court and the depth they prefer. ( For more detailed information and pricing)

Microsilica, also known as silica fume, it is a very fine pozzolanic material, composed of amorphous silica produced byelectric arc furnaces as a byproduct of the production of elemental silicon or ferro silicon alloys.Microsilica can be used in a variety of cementitious products such as concrete,grouts,and mortars as well as elastomer, polymer,refractory, ceramic and rubber applications.
Silica fume is widely used in concrete field: High-performance project, such as bridge, airport, hydropowder station, seawall, railway projects.
1)Enhance the mechanical properties of concrete.
High strength and early strength has been used in substructures of high-performance concrete.
2)Improve the durability of concrete:
Significant improvements can be seen in the permeability resistance, abrasion resistance, anti-corrosion against chlorideion and anti-freezing of concrete.
