VRX Silica Limited announced that the company has lodged an application for its second silica sand Mining Lease at its Muchea Silica Sand Project, which is located 50km north of Perth. The mining lease application includes 92% of the total previously announced Resource of 191 Mt @ 99.6% SiO2 (Muchea Maiden Resource of 20 November 2018) but is expected to increase with deeper drilling than the hand-auger sampling previously undertaken to estimate the Resource. This is the second of three Mining Lease applications that the company will lodge in the short term with an application at Arrowsmith Central to be lodged imminently to complete the silica sand project applications. The company continues to field enquiries from interested customers for silica sand sales and is undertaking due diligence and testwork programs to confirm quality requirements. The company has previously announced the receipt of Letters of Intent, "Three LOIs for Silica Sand Offtake" of 11 December 2018. The Muchea Mining Lease Application MLA70/1390 has an area of 2,918Ha, and covers part of the Exploration Licence E70/4886, which was granted on 27/03/2017.
