Our TEXAWA Frac Sand is sourced from an open-pit
mining operation in Mason County, Texas. Like our FREDONIA product, these
sands come from a band in the Hickory Sandstone Formation that has a higher count of 20/40 and 30/50 monocrystalline
grains than standard "Brown" sand.
As such, TEXAWA
Frac Sand's performance characteristics are more typical of Ottawa, or "Northern White" type sands and
substantially superior to standard "brown" sand. With roughly 40,000 tons monthly production,
a large amount of which is pre-sold, the TEXAWA operation is on track to begin shipping product in
January, 2010.
