VRX Silica fetches improved results at Arrowsmith, Muchea

  • 26 February

Silica sands explorer VRX Silica says results from its testwork programs to produce silica sands products from its Arrowsmith and Muchea projects have yielded improved results. Based on the testwork, the circuit design for a processing plant is being finalised.


Highlights:

  • Improved results from all projects with grades reaching:

    • Muchea: +99.9% SiO2 (<80ppm Fe2O3)

    • Arrowsmith North: 99.7% SiO2

    • Arrowsmith Central: 99.6% SiO2.

  • Expanded product catalogue including:

    • High-Grade products used for ultra-clear glass from Muchea;

    • Glassmaking products from Arrowsmith and Muchea;

    • Foundry sand products from Arrowsmith.

  • Preferred circuit design established.

  • Process plant engineering to be completed March 2019.

  • In-fill drilling planned for March 2019.

VRX Silica Limited (VRX Silica or Company) (ASX: VRX) is pleased to announce the results from its testwork program to produce silica sand products from its Arrowsmith Silica Sand Project, located 270km north of Perth, WA, and its Muchea Silica Sand Project, 50km north of Perth.

The Company has completed its third iteration of testwork on each of its projects: Arrowsmith North, Arrowsmith Central and Muchea Silica Sand Projects.

VRX Silica Managing Director Bruce Maluish said: “The results from this testwork are a culmination of three iterations during the past year to both determine the optimum products from each of the projects and to contribute to the final circuit design.”

“There are two products from each of Arrowsmith and Muchea for the glassmaking industry, and four products from Arrowsmith for the foundry industry,” said Maluish.

A catalogue has now been produced and forwarded to our potential customers.

Based on this testwork, the circuit design for the processing plant has been finalised, while the engineering work by CDE Global (CDE) is nearing completion.
