Summary:
The deposit has a minimum silica (SiO2) content of 98%. The controlling attributes are grain crush strength and size distribution. All areas of the deposit are characterized by clean, low-clay content sand in windblown dunes. In many areas, a more clayey sand lies beneath the clean sand. In all cases the sand is unconsolidated.
The reserves at Crane County contain windblown dune sand lying above ancient dunes of clayey sand, all Quaternary in age.
Summary:
The facility is located approximately 25 miles southwest of Odessa, Texas in Crane County and is located 5 miles south of U.S. Interstate 20 on a main Farm-to-Market Road.
The facility uses natural gas and electricity to produce whole grain silica through surface mining methods.
