About us:
We are an Australian exploration and development company focussed on delivering high purity silica sand to a diversified global customer-base. Our Board and Senior Management team offer extensive experience in developing resources projects and together with our shareholders and community we are positioning our company to play its part in the green economy.
The Project:
Located on the eastern coastline of the Cape York Peninsula, approximately 220 km north of Cairns in North Queensland, the Cape Flattery Silica Project is situated in a region known for its high purity silica sand.
With a 42Mt Reserve of high purity silica sand, the Project is well positioned to support current and projected global demand, driven by increased standards of living and the transition to renewable energy.
With a projected mine life of 25 years and a targeted production rate of 1.35Mtpa, Cape Flattery Silica has the potential to directly contribute to 3.35 billion high quality solar panels.
