Sibelco today committed to invest AUD 49 million (EUR 32 million) in Diatreme Resources Limited, an emerging Australian developer of mineral and silica mines based in Brisbane, Australia. 

The investment consists of the purchase of Diatreme shares through a private placement and investment in a silica sand joint venture between Diatreme and Sibelco in Cape Flattery, Northern Queensland. The investment is subject to approval by Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB).

The partnership supports Sibelco’s vision of becoming the global leader in silica sand, extending access to silica sand reserves across the globe.
