Canadian Premium Sand: A leader in solar glass

Driven by an ambitious vision to add new domestic manufacturing capacity, CPS has initiated plans to build and operate an industry-leading sustainable solar glass manufacturing facility in Manitoba. This facility will play a key role in North America’s rapidly growing renewable energy sector providing solar module manufacturers with reliable access to high-quality solar glass.

CPS owns rights to a high-purity, lowiron silica sand quarry, located 160 kilometres north of Winnipeg. Low iron content in silica sand is essential to produce premium solar glass as it improves clarity and allows greater light transmissivity. The quality of our silica sand has been validated by thirdparty laboratories leading to a glasssand inferred resource estimate of 7.25 million tonnes.

CPS is positioned to be the first patterned solar glass supplier in North America. We believe long-term economic prosperity for Canadians requires more robust domestic primary manufacturing with responsible use of our resources as we work towards net-zero as a society. For too long, North America has had to import 100 per cent of its patterned solar glass demand — even though Canada has an abundance of premium, accessible raw materials like high-purity silica sand and is an energy exporter.

Our state-of-the-art patterned solar glass manufacturing plant will be an economic catalyst for the industry and region, and make a meaningful contribution to Canada’s manufacturing sector. The facility will utilize the best technology available and renewable electricity to set a new standard for sustainable glass manufacturing. 6
