RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Consolidation period and some technical analysis of RRS Hi Polo11 : for any viable comparison between different silica quartz materials one needs to know if the silica content reported is before or after any beneficiation ?
basic washing of silica already improves the purity content (regarding the link you provided most probably the silica content reported (99.88%+) is that of the final product sold after washing not the naturally occurring silica, unless it is a vein type silica deposit, which most probaby iss not because they are talking about selling lumps of up to 1.5cm size (implying they have a high quantity of the stuff unlikely for vein type deposits) and the silica content is very low for a vein type (vein silica deposits are very high purity 99.90%+ but occurs in very low quantities).
For RRS quartzite depsoit, we already assayed up to 99.98% NATURALLY OCCURRING silica before any beneficiation is done ! more than 80% of our rocks are 97%+ pure silica (a consistent high purity ore deposit) ! we have basically tens of millions of this high purity stuff ! After wahsing our 97%+ silica I bet we could easily produce some 99.8%+ material, some our high purity stuff (the 99.90%+ naturally occurring) could easily be beneficiated to 99.95%+ material. Anzaplan will confirm for us all this. But needless to say WE HAVE A MONSTER OF A HIGH PURITY SILICA DEPOSIT.
For an idea of the diverse products we could produce with our silica, look at this amazing anzaplan flowsheet, like LeMarcus likes to say its a NO WASTE APPROACH ! through screening/washing/grinding/sensor based ssorting tehniques, we could produce different qualities/types of final silica products with minimum rejects/waste, and that is what determines the economic value of the project :

Hope that helped,
