VRX Silica Limited provided an update on progress at its 100%-owned Arrowsmith Central Silica Sand Project (Arrowsmith Central), located approximately 270km north of Perth, Western Australia. The Company has completed the test holes for 2 production water bores which will be the source of water supply for the proposed processing plant at Arrowsmith Central. The test holes are targeting 2 potential aquifers at 30 metre and 120 metre depth.

Geological and geophysical logging of the holes indicate good potential for high flows of good quality ground water. Neither aquifer is believed to be connected to the superficial water table. Drilling is being undertaken by a licenced water bore driller under an approved Licence to Construct or Alter a Well, CAW207418(1), from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER).

DWER has accepted the Company's application for an allocation of 900,000 kilolitres. The 5C licence to take water will be applied for once the bores are constructed and logging and test pumping is complete.
