Production process
The economics of the production and sale of the many types of
silica are governed by many factors, but demand for silica is controlled
mostly by the fortunes of the glass and foundries industries. Throughout Southern Africa, the silica sand
industry is highly competitive on a regional basis and the industry is
dominated by a few large producers. A silica sand source located
substantially closer to its plant can save users hundreds of thousands of rands per year by reducing transportation costs by only
a few rands per tonne. Lower-priced material is
shipped only to local or regional markets. Beneficiation has been the key
to producing high-quality glass or foundry sand from most of our deposits.
