· Silica (SiO 2) occurs commonly in nature as sandstone, silica sand or quartzite. It is the starting material for the production of silicate glasses and ceramics. Silica is one of the most abundant oxide materials in the earth''s crust. It can exist in an amorphous form (vitreous silica) or in a variety of crystalline forms.

Industrial silica sand (or quartz sand, as quartz is the predominant mineral) is plentiful on a global scale. However, its extraction depends on its quality – and therefore suitability for industrial applications – as well as its proximity to an industrial customer base and – most importantly – the ability to secure access rights to extract the minerals.
