Industrial Clay Deposits in Nevada Reveal Commercial Potential, Sunset Resources Announces

Published: 15 Apr 2025
Sunrise Resources Plc has reported positive outcomes from their inaugural evaluation programme for the Pioche Sepiolite Project.

Sunrise Resources Plc, in its most recent endeavour, is overjoyed to announce healthful outcomes from the initial exploration of its Pioche Sepiolite Project in the state of Nevada, United States. The testing procedure involved conducting a replica of the procedures commonly employed for the production of sepiolite in the U.S.

The results reaped from this effort are extremely encouraging; they are comparable, if not superior, to the commercially available sepiolite in the market. Furthermore, it allows the corporation to stake claim on the commercial viability of the substantial sepiolite deposits located in Pioche. These vast deposits might have applications, such as in saltwater applications, crucial to the lucrative oil and gas drilling industry. Along with this, the tests enable the firm to pinpoint sepiolite-rich regions within the drilled sepiolite zones.

With the existing U.S. sepiolite producer grappling with strict environmental restrictions, Pioche brings forth a chance to cultivate a new sepiolite source within the U.S. The Pioche Project, given this, is garnering the attention of various clay manufacturers and consumers. It may very well be a beneficiary of forthcoming U.S. policies that aim at escalating domestic oil and gas drilling, thereby lessening dependence on foreign energy sources.
