Russian Quartz company profile

Russian Quartz is a modernization and expansion of high purity quartz production at the Kyshtym Mining production facility and quartz deposit Portfolio company Russian Quartz will produce quartz concentrates at the Kyshtym Mining facility in Chelyabinsk Oblast. Under the project, the field-based complex, which is currently mining and processing quartz and preparing high-purity concentrates, will be technically upgraded. The quartz concentrates are feedstock for obtaining high purity quartz with many high-technology applications: microelectronics, heavy-duty and ultraviolet lighting, special-purpose optics, and quartz ceramics, to name a few. The project to upgrade the complex will be implemented over three years in two phases. When phase two is finished, the company’s annual production capacity will have grown nearly sevenfold: from 1,500 tons to 10,000 tons of quartz concentrate with purity ranging from IOTA Standard to IOTA 6 grade.
