Diatreme Resources increases high-grade Silica Sand resource in far North Queensland

Mar 13, 2023

Diatreme Resources (ASX: DRX), an emerging developer and explorer of silica sands, has announced an 89% increase in its high-grade silica sand resource to 235 million tonnes (Mt), up from 124.1Mt, across its high-grade silica projects in Far North Queensland. The Si2 project is now the major project within the company's existing silica sand resources, surpassing the estimated 75.5Mt resource of the Galalar Silica Sand Project.

Drilling results have revealed dunes up to 54.7m thick, averaging 11.7m, across an area of approximately 1,275 hectares. The company's total silica sand resource base now exceeds 310Mt. As demand from the solar PV industry continues to boom, a scoping study is underway to assess the economic feasibility of establishing mining operations at Si2. Si2 is still open to the south and north along the Si2 dune complex, and the company plans to conduct additional drilling to identify further significant extensions to the silica resource base.
