Summary
Perpetual Resources Limited announced significant improvements in reducing impurities in silica sand at its Beharra Project in Western Australia. The metallurgical test work conducted by ANZAPLAN successfully reduced iron content in the sand from approximately 760 ppm to 110-120 ppm, marking a substantial improvement over previous results. This consistent result was achieved using conventional processing methods such as classification, gravity separation, and magnetic separation. The improved purity places Beharra within reach of the specifications required for solar glass applications. Further test work is planned to explore additional reductions in impurities. The company is now reviewing its project advancement strategy following these positive outcomes.
Key Points
  • ANZAPLAN test work confirms significant reduction in Fe2O3 content in Beharra silica sand.
  • Improved purity achieved consistently across multiple processing methods.
  • Simple and low-cost processing flowsheet recommended.
  • High-purity silica product meets specifications for premium glass markets.
  • Further test work planned to explore additional impurity reductions.
