Silica Value Chain in KSA

Anzaplan MD Dr. Reiner Haus has been invited to provide several lectures at the Workshop „Silica Value Chain“, organized by the Research and Studies Department of the Saudi Geological Survey, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. More than 30 participants of most leading quartz and silica sand companies as well as decision making governmental organizations were meeting in Jeddah for in depth discussion on topics covering silica sand, specialty silicas, quartz and the silicon business. During a final panel discussion specifically aspects of licensing and structuring the development of silica sand and quartz projects in the KSA were discussed. A visit of the geology lab and pilot plant processing facilities at MRBC topped the program off nicely.
