Silica mine hopes to bring billions to La Ronge
A proposed silica mine south of La Ronge is one step closer to reality.
Camilo Garcia, the CEO of Garcia Silica Incorporated, confirmed he had recently acquired a lease to two lots of land roughly 20 kilometers South of La Ronge.
He said he hopes to bring economic opportunities to people in the tri-community region.
“This project, at the end when it’s full blast, it’s going to be a $5 billion dollar investment all together, right here in La Ronge,” Garcia said.
