VRX Silica has set out to become a major supplier of silica sand to the Asia-Pacific region glass making and foundry industries from its Arrowsmith and Muchea projects north of Perth.
VRX has already received strong expressions of interest in its silica sand products from manufacturers of all types of glass products across the Asia-Pacific region.
The company’s resources at its Arrowsmith project, 270 km north of Perth, and the Muchea project, 50 km north of Perth, will be capable of meeting the tonnages and qualities sought.
Key to the projects is access to existing railway lines adjacent to the projects and port connections.
All three projects will run in parallel through the approvals process with the one that gets approved first will be first developed.
