Select Sands Corp. has commenced limited production at the Sandtown deposit, located in Arkansas, US, in order to fulfill purchase orders for its Tier 1 silica sands into the industrial markets.

The company anticipates purchase orders from the current customer base will be ongoing and is in a position to ramp up production if there is an increase in demand. Additionally, Select Sands will aggressively pursue new customers in the industrial markets, some of which have already requested large bulk samples or tested the variety of products available from the Sandtown Deposit.

“We are pleased to be able to deliver a high quality end product for our growing list of industrial customers. We are in a strong financial position with no debt which has enabled us to consider strategic acquisitions of equipment and facilities that will allow us to extract the maximum value from our high quality deposit,” said Rasool Mohammad, president and CEO of Select Sands.

Select Sands’ goal is to be a premium Industrial/Silica Sand supplier selling into the US industrial and specialty and major oil & gas markets. According to Freedonia Group, the industrial silica sand market is set to reach global demand of 291 million metric tons by 2018, nearing a total value of US$12.5B which is anticipated to create significant demand drivers for high quality Tier 1 Silica Sands.

About Select Sands
Select Sands’ Sandtown property, located in northeast Arkansas, USA, is underlain by the Ordovician St. Peter sandstone formation, which is a major source of ‘Ottawa White’ Tier-1 frac sand/industrial sand selling into major US oil and gas basins as well as industrial and speciality end markets. The Sandtown property is located 3.1 miles from Highway 167 near a natural gas pipeline. The property has an active power line on the property and is located approximately 14.7 miles from the nearest rail system. Compared to competitive sand mines located in Wisconsin owned by the largest US frac sand producers, Sandtown has a competitive location advantage as it is approximately 650 rail miles closer to the Texas/Louisiana oil/gas plays as well as the Houston port and industrial hub.
