Our Blair facility began producing perlite in 2014, and became part of U.S. Silica in 2018 with the acquisition of EP Minerals.
The Blair facility uses natural gas, electricity, and perlite ore from our open-pit Popcorn mine that has been initially processed at our Lovelock facility. Products produced are used in the industry as a filter media in the manufacturing of bio-fuels and food grade oils.
