SSRG also owns extensive reserves of high-purity silica sand which is used for HD/LCD TV screens.\n\n\tMr. Kevin Graham, Director of SSRG, stated, \"High Purity Quartz is experiencing an unprecedented global demand largely due to the expanded installation of solar farms for power generation worldwide. We believe that SSRG has significant experience and proven technical knowledge to manufacture and supply HPQS, that was largely gained from a three-year collaboration with two of the leading world experts at its Melbourne Test Plant. We are confident that the pending business combination with Magnolia Solar brings additional expertise in advanced solar energy technologies, that will assist with SSRG's plans to establish a large capacity HPQS processing plant in the United States.\"\n\n\tMr. Graham added, \"Quartz operations are entirely focused on expanding production to supply r...
