Canadian Premium Sand undertook a comprehensive, large scale test conducted by Hazen Research that simulated the industrial scale processes required to produce solar glass specification sand as the primary feedstock for the Company’s patterned solar glass manufacturing facility being developed in Selkirk, Manitoba.

The testing verified that the requirement for simple mechanical treatment processes including only basic attrition scrubbing and gravity and magnetic separation. It confirmed a low-cost and environmentally responsible process methodology can be employed to produce solar glass grade silica sand without the use of iron reducing chemicals. This finalizes the pre-construction engineering and design of the Company’s sand processing facility.

“With these sand testing results in hand, we have completed an important milestone in the development of our integrated solar glass manufacturing project. We have now confirmed the industrial scale processes required to refine our silica sand to solar glass grade enabling us to finalize details of our sand processing design and equipment selection,” stated Company President & CEO, Glenn Leroux. “We remain on track to bring our solar glass manufacturing project to shovel-ready status by the end of Q1 2023,” continued Glenn Leroux.
