Deposit Type

  • Sedimentary


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 Lamesa contain windblown dune sand lying above ancient dunes of clayey sand, all Quaternary in age.


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

The facility is located in Dawson County, approximately 55 miles north of Midland, Texas and 60 miles south of Lubbock, Texas. The site is located 13 miles north and west of Lamesa, Texas using state, farm-to-market and private roads. U.S. Route 87 runs through Lamesa and directly leads north to Lubbock and south to Midland.

The facility uses natural gas and electricity to produce whole grain silica through surface mining methods.
