Ann: Acquisition of Boyatup Project, page-76

1. Where did I say construction sand export is the preserve of large companies ? I said it is such a huge opportunity that it has the potential to be another FMG. That in no way stops VRX or any other junior from having similar ambitions.

2. I recommend VRX look at construction sand in addition to silica sand. What exactly is it you don't understand ?

3. All silica sand resources have large construction sand resources as well as silica sand. But if you and your supporters are adamant that silica sand is the exclusive focus of VRX why then refer to the crisis in construction sand on the leading home page and in presentations to promote silica sand .

4. If you took the time to read my comments properly you would note that I said over time VRX and other Australian aspirants should secure an increasing  share of the international market.  - Australian silica sand mines already do from operations in WA and the Cape Slattery mine in Qld and surprisingly I noted some reference to 400,000 tonnes having been supplied from the areas to the north east of Perth. If you think Hanson - Holcim -Boral and the other major construction material companies with significant silica sand resources close to Perth are going to twiddle their thumbs whilst VRX  is ramping up you are in for a rude awakening -they wont be asleep at the wheel. 

5. I did not say VRX or any other Australian silica sand mine could not compete with Vietnam -over time Vietnam might exhaust its reserves. If you visit Alibaba you will note silica sand from India -Egypt at very low prices and there are many countries capable of developing silica sand resources.  The USA  has significant silica sand resources. 
I am an Australian -I believe we can capture a big slice of the international sand market but take off your rose coloured glasses and deal with realities.
