The Wonderful World Of Pozzolan – In Conversation with Patrick Cheetham of Sunrise Resources
Todays guest is Patrick Cheetham, Chairman and MD of Sunrise Resources, a mining company who acquire, explore and develop mineral projects, and who are currently developing a project to mine natural pozzolan and perlite in Nevada, USA.
We talk about the uses of natural pozzolan and perlite and how Sunrise Resources are developing the project in the US.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Patrick’s background is in geology, and always found the subject fascinating. This stood him in good stead when he went to college, and subsequently was recruited by Western Mining in Australia.
Sunrise began as a diamond exploration concern. After working in this market, Sunrise realised that raising capital was difficult, and so broadened its focus.
Pozzolan is one of the most important deposits in the world and acts as a naturally occurring cement, and has numerous invaluable uses throughout the industrial world.
Perlite has the additional property of popping when heated to high temperatures. This is used in horticulture to aerate soil, and is also used in insulation.
Sunrise’s main consumers are ready-mix companies, who use pozzolan in concrete, which is a vital ingredient in fly ash. Pozzolan has a value similar to cement in terms of money. It doesn’t stand huge transport differences, and is mainly used in the USA.
Mine permitting is key for Sunrise in the future, which will allow for production to begin in earnest when 2020 arrives. Agreements with utility providers, and sourcing water for projects are also high on the agenda.
.BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s not as easy when you don’t have the money behind you!’
‘Perlite pops like popcorn’
’The Pantheon dome is still the world’s largest expanse of concrete’
’There’s no natural pozzolan produced in the UK’
