Scoping study paints bright picture for silica project
A scoping study for the Galalar silica project has shown its potential as a significant near‐term, low‐cost and premium‐quality silica producer for fast growing Asian markets, Diatreme Resources says.
The new Cape York mine, 200km north of Cairns, would cost $24.4 million to bring online and has a projected life of 15 years.
Diatreme says it would be developed in partnership with the traditional owners Hopevale Congress, with a 12.5 per cent project interest.
It is expected to create 30 to 40 jobs in the construction phase and about 60 (employees and contractors) in production. . .
