Strict specifications: UK frac sand potential.
Industrial Minerals, 575.

Abstract
The UK is actively looking at the potential production of
shale gas and, as a result, the country’s extractive minerals industry is looking at the role it can play in providing minerals that could be used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking). One such mineral is silica sand, which is used as a proppant,commonly referred to as “frac sand”. Clive Mitchell, Industrial Minerals Specialist*, provides an educated guess as to where this frac sand could come from in the UK.
