Silica sand is the world’s second-most consumed resource after water, and it is running out. As the primary ingredient used in all types of glass manufacturing and concrete, it is the foundational ingredient of the modern city.
Silica sand also has a crucial role to play in the global decarbonisation effort. High purity silica sand with a low iron content is needed for the high-tech flat glass used in solar panels and smart screen technology.
VRX Silica is the most advanced pure-play silica sand company on the ASX, and perfectly positioned to capitalise on this unique opportunity for Western Australia to supply a growing silica sand market and meet rising global demand.
The Company is developing its portfolio of five high-quality silica sand projects – the Arrowsmith North, Brand Silica and Central Silica Sand Projects, located 270km north of Perth, the Muchea Silica Sand Project 50km north of Perth, and the Boyatup Silica Sand Project, 100km east of Esperance all located in Western Australia.
The company’s most advanced project, Arrowsmith North, is on track to commence production in 2024 subject to environmental approvals.
