Overview

U.S. Silica's Mauricetown plant mines mineral deposits from nearby Port Elizabeth in Maurice River Township. Our surface mines near the Mauricetown facility use natural gas, fuel oil and electricity, to produce whole grain silica through dredge mining. The reserves are mined from alluvial sands in the Maurice River Valley and are similar to those found in the Cohansey, Bridgeton and Cape May deposits. The silica sand deposits are 99% pure silica, with a consistent grain shape that is distributed across a range of sizes.

We acquired the Mauricetown facility in 1999 from Unimin Corporation, which had historically used the property to produce whole grain silica for customers in industrial and specialty products end markets. Since acquiring the facility, we renovated and upgraded its production capabilities, including the construction of a new wet processing plant, to enable it to produce multiple products through various processing methods, including washing, hydraulic sizing, fluid bed drying, rotary drying and scalping.

The facility is located approximately 50 miles south of Philadelphia and is accessible by major highways including U.S. Interstate 295 and state Highway 55.

Community

Many of the Mauricetown employees volunteer their free time to fire and rescue, scouting, local road cleanup teams, non-profits, local governance and safety programs for school-age children. The Mauricetown facility is also dedicated to identifying new sources of renewable energy to reduce the impact it has on the environment and wildlife surrounding our properties.
