Wanipigow Sand Project The Wanipigow Sand Project is the development of a world class, completely enclosed, silica sand processing plant which will operate year-round. Silica sand will be extracted and moved to the plant where it will be washed, dried, screened for size and then transported to market. The silica sand in the operation area is a high-purity quartz that is extremely durable and has very round, uniform grains. This high quality allows for a broad range of uses including glassmaking, metal casting and production, paint and coatings, ceramics and refractories, water filtration and oil and gas recovery. The Company anticipates that the Wanipigow Sand Project will provide a significant number of local jobs for more than 50 years. This silica sand deposit on the eastern side of Lake Winnipeg, sits on top of bedrock which is more than 10 meters above the level of the lake. The Wanipigow Sand Project will have no anticipated effects on local sand beaches or the local water table or community wells. More specifically, the well water used in the processing plant will be recycled with no use of chemicals in cleaning the sand. Further, no water used in the processing plant will come from Lake Winnipeg, nor will there be water discharged into the lake. The Wanipigow Sand Project is located approximately 200 km northeast of Winnipeg within the community of Seymourville and adjacent to the Hollow Water community. The Company owns the quarry leases for the Wanipigow Sand Project. For further information and presentation material, please review the Company's website at www.canadianpremiumsand.com
