Our Products
Once mined our ore is processed to produce the following products:
Granulated Amorphous Silica – suitable as a growth substrate in Hydroponics or as a soil improver in Horticultural and Agricultural operations. This application has produced significant results in yield increase, drought resistance and repel pests and diseases. (Lab and field research completed in conjunction with University of WA , Kalyx Australia and Crommelin Agricoatings)
Our granulated product is also perfect as a filtration and adsorption medium for hydrocarbons and heavy metals.
Our granulated amorphous silica can be produced in a range of particle sizes varying from >75mm to <0.8mm. Our typical granulated product is produced with a grain size between 5mm to 0.8mm, with 50% of the product having a grain size between 1mm and 2mm, which is ideal for use as.
Ground Amorphous Silica – suitable for use as a pozzolan for strengthening concrete manufacturing and building products, and as a filler and builder in paints, cosmetics, coatings and detergents.
Precipitated Amorphous Silica – suitable for use in glass manufacturing, and as feed stock for silicon metal and ferrosilicon, ferrosilicon magnesium and silicomanganese alloys.
Liquid Silica Solution – suitable for use as a foliar spray, soil and road stabiliser and as a binder in paints.Granulated Amorphous Silica

Ground Amorphous Silica
Using conventional milling techniques our granulated amorphous silica product can be easily ground to P80 <75µm or P80 < 45 µm. This ground amorphous silica product is a natural pozzolan and a Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) for strengthening concrete, and it has optimal physical and chemical properties for use as a filler in paints and coatings and as a builder in detergents.
Amorphous Precipitated Silica (APS)
Beneficiation of the raw product using propriety processes (patent pending) results in an Amorphous Precipitated Silica (APS) product that is ideal for glass manufacturing and as a precursor to silicon metal production for use in solar panels and ferrosilicon, ferrosilicon magnesium and silicomanganese alloys.
Liquid Silica Solution
Through a propriety Si extraction process (patent pending) we can produce either a sodium (Na) or potassium (K) silicate solution or ‘water glass’. This concentrated solution can be used as a:
- Foliar Spray or Soil Drip to provide vital plant available Si to plants
- Binder in mineral silicate paints
- Natural soil or road stabilizer
