thanks, Christian; I was looking at the Cabbage Spot prospect, which has very high Fe impurities. - hence the post to this Cabbage Spot thread
You are correct, I didn't see the earlier announcement on the other deposits with better grades.
The Company stated on the bulk test work: "This phase has successfully advanced our understanding and capability to produce high-purity silica sand, crucial for the photovoltaic industry, achieving >99.5% SiO2 and <100 ppm Fe2O3."
Sparkler Deposit 70 Mtonnes @ 96.84% Si02 with 0.34% Fe2O3 or 3400ppm Fe2O3. (screen shot below)
Most of the deleterious elements are all in the fine sand fraction which is 5% of the deposit.
So they need to wash out the fines, and it will do a lot of the upgrading as required.
But the coarse and med grain size = 200 and 300ppm Fe2O3 in it also, (0.02% and 0.03%)
with LOI% 800ppm and 900ppm (loss on ignition - during assay), which needs to be addressed.
135km from the wharf, and on farmland...
Compare it to Cape Flattery though, on the coast, long LOM, grade is <100ppm Fe2O3 straight out of the ground.

They obviously dominate as low cost quartile producer.
Opaque pricing makes scoping study hard and very difficult for the market to value.
We need an off-take agreement and the first shipment sent and funds cleared to get to a value step change that can be valued for ASX shareholders.
Tough game...
Hence the market cap is subdued.
