Western Australian silica sands explorer Carbine Resources has demonstrated the potential for its Muchea West project to become a low impurity supplier of silica products to burgeoning Asia-Pacific glass markets.
Carbine says its maiden indicated and inferred resource of 93.17Mt @ 99.71% SiO2 with low impurity levels of 0.044% Al2O3 and 0.026% Fe2O3 confirms the exceptional quality of the project 40km NE of Perth.
The raw unprocessed product exceeds the quality of the processed products of many silica sand deposit.
