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.
