Vivian Sand Project

CanWhite Sands Corp. is proposing the construction and operation of the Vivian Sand Project for the extraction and processing of silica sand. As proposed, the project would be located within the Rural Municipality of Springfield, about 35 kilometres east of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The project would include a silica sand processing facility with a wet and dry plant as well as a rail load out. In addition, there would be silica sand extraction activities including the installation, operation and decommissioning of extraction wells and transport via a slurry line. The project is designed to produce over 1.3 million tonnes of silica sand per year and was previously referred to as the Vivian Sand Processing Facility Project and Vivian Sand Extraction Project.
