PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Emerging silica sands developer Diatreme Resources has reported an 89% increase in the mineral resource estimate for its Northern Silica project, in Far North Queensland.

The project’s resource estimate has increased from the 124.1-milion tonnes estimated previously to 235-million tonnes, resulting in Diatreme’s total silica sand resource base now standing at more than 310-million tonnes.

“Our ongoing successful exploration of the Si2 dune complex continues to provide outstanding results. Delivery of the resource expansion is very well timed as we start to finish the inputs into the scoping study for the Northern Silica project, which is now further underpinned with this significant resource upgrade,’ said CEO Neil McIntyre.

“We look forward to continuing ongoing exploration of the Si2 dune complex in parallel to further feasibility studies in 2023. Diatreme has an exciting year ahead as we move towards development of a critical minerals project that will advance global decarbonisation.”
