Laramie Resources
Mineral resources for advanced materials
Low Cost Materials Save Jobs Today,
Advanced Materials Will Build a Prosperous and Resilient Tomorrow
What is in the B.A.G. (Big Audacious Goal)?
Jobs for our local resource workers
Nano-materials to clean up abandoned mines and supply new industries
Commitment to foster an employee-owned company
Laramie Resources, LLC, develops silica for industrial sand, frac sand, ground silica, and hematite for advanced materials manufacturing.
Initial production of low-cost materials will help regional manufacturers today, while building more diverse possibilities for tomorrow. We collaborate with teams of 3rd party experts to drive science out of the lab and into a more sustainable industrial reality. We match process innovation to known resources, so what looks like sand and iron tailings for glass and cement today, can become the nano-materials that build a resilient future of lower carbon materials, resource recovery, and reclamation.
Resources and Goals
Silica
- Mine high purity silica for industrial sand and ground silica
- Industrial process development with the University of Wyoming and a major soda ash producer in western Wyoming
- Manufacture silicates and advanced nano scale (billionth of a meter ) silica materials used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and other applications.
- Long-term goal is precipitated silica and silicates production, where all raw materials are available in Wyoming. Read More
- Sunrise mine ran for 80 years and left behind valuable reserves and infrastructure.
- Silica processes are also relevant to high-value iron oxides used in environmental remediation, EOR, and natural iron pigment market.
- Review materials and explore development possibilities at the Sunrise Iron Mine in Sunrise, WY.
- Characterize materials, products, and optimize process to arrive at those products. Read More
Stewardship is expected here.
What are the community’s needs and concerns?
The technology is known, the processes are simple, the resources are secured, and teams are in place.
