HIGH QUALITY SILICA RESOURCE
CPS owns quarry leases containing significant quantities of high quality silica sand that will serve as a basis for the development of multiple industries.
- Key raw material in the production of patterned solar glass, float glass and other glass and silica products
- Critical enabling material (fracture proppant) for development of the western Canadian oil and gas industry
- Potential to vertically integrate into float (architectural) and patterned solar glass manufacturing
Glass is more important than ever
As the world urgently works to reduce emissions, the demand for solar and architectural glass is projected to grow significantly. New policies around the globe, like Canada’s net-zero emissions commitment and the USA’s plan to decarbonize their electrical grid, continue to drive demand to unprecedented heights.
Energy consumption from the electrical grid and energy usage in buildings are significant components of our collective carbon footprint. CPS glass can be used in solar panels – a key component of North American net-zero plans to reduce emissions.
An opportunity the size of a continent
With competition virtually non-existent, CPS can be the only:
- Canadian based premium fracture proppant supplier
- Canadian based float glass manufacturing
- Notable North American based patterned solar glass manufacturer
Right project,
right time,
right place
Manitoba is the ideal location for our glass manufacturing projects. We will operate our facility close to our silica deposit, access renewable energy, and utilize some of the world’s most responsibly-sourced natural gas — all at very competitive operating costs. As one of North America’s key shipping hubs, Manitoba provides ready access to markets and efficient shipping options. The project aligns with the Provincial Government’s climate action priorities, sustainable development, job creation targets, and economic growth ambitions.
