Stoney Pinch Sands company profile

Stoney Pinch Sands is a company that owns a very pure silica sand deposit (99.01% SiO2) located at Renmark, South Australia. The silica sand is sourced from a three million-year-old beach found untouched below a rock layer. This sand is ground into fine particle sizes and has various uses, particularly in agriculture and horticulture. Micronised silica from Stoney Pinch Sands is in demand for pest insect and fungal control in horticulture. The company also produces silica and micronized lime products that help reduce soil acidity, which is a major problem for Australian agriculture affecting plant growth by limiting nutrient access. Their technology allows for cost-effective micronization of lime and silicon, aiding soil health and plant growth. They also have access to significant deposits of silicon sand, which is important for disease resistance and plant health. The company aims to supply these products at competitive prices to the agricultural sector.
