HPS Mineral Potential Assessment
Development of processing routes for high purity silica production from Australian resources
Tranche 1: 2023-2026
Project title | Lead agency | Aim |
High Purity Silica (HPS) Mineral Potential Assessment | Geoscience Australia, supported by ANSTO | Advance knowledge and economic potential of HPS deposits and regions |
Geoscience Australia is undertaking a detailed mineral potential study of High Purity silica mineral systems with the goal of identifying mineral systems and regions that have the greatest potential to supply raw feed stock material suitable to support the production of silicon, stimulating exploration and supporting the development of a downstream silicon industry in Australia.
