How Can Victory Silica Assure Proppant Supply?

Business model based on:

Continuous supply of Premium Quality Import Concentrate

30,000 ton of Frac Sand Storage

Page 23: The Right Product. The Right Place. The Right Time

How Can Proppant Quality be maximized at the well head?

Traditional logistics models have frac sand wet and dry processed at the mine site.

Handling Frac sand after Drying and Screening increase fines and dust loading. Decreases product quality!

Traditional Frac plants transfer sand from:

1) production storage to rail storage

2) rail storage to rail cars

3) rail cars to rail transload storage

4) rail transload to well site delivery trucks

To maximize quality we locate of Dry facilities close enough for direct delivery from to plant to the well head. Handle the frac product once.

Demurrage Cost Control?

Dry product handling implies dry product transportation and storage

Rail shipments take time and require forecasting for product and volume

Forecasting errors or changes imply:

Rail line embargos

Delivery permits

Transload filled with product that isn’t moving

Demurrage

Wet concentrate always moves and always has a place to be stored. No demurrage and always the right product available
