OVERVIEW

Silix Mineração is a Lion Group portfolio company focused on high-purity, low-iron natural quartz in Mascote, Bahia.

Silix is fully licensed and operating, with established mining and physical beneficiation infrastructure and access to multiple Atlantic export routes. The investment thesis is supported by the natural quality of the quartz, its low-iron profile, existing logistics and a clear pathway toward higher-value applications.

The material has been tested by laboratories and counterparties in Japan, China and other international markets, with results supporting its high purity and upgrading potential.

Expansion Strategy

Silix is currently commissioning an upgraded beneficiation plant aimed at producing 4N material, above 99.99% SiO₂, at industrial scale. The new configuration incorporates additional physical processing, including aeroclassification, and builds on laboratory work that has already demonstrated the technical potential to reach 4N purity.

The objective is to move Silix progressively into higher-value markets where low iron, impurity control and consistent particle size are critical.

• Export alternatives through Ilhéus, Enseada and Salvador
