SIO SILICA
POWERING MANITOBA’S FUTURE IN CRITICAL MINERALS SUPPORTING PREMIER WAB KINEW’S VISION FOR JOB CREATION, MINING INNOVATION AND GLOBAL INVESTMENT
“Churchill presents huge opportunities when it comes to mining, agriculture and energy.” — Premier Wab Kinew
of Sio Silica. “Manitoba has what the world needs — and we’re building the infrastructure to deliver it with long-term value for our province and for Canada.” With vertical integration from extraction to processing, Sio Silica ensures the highest standards of quality, traceability and environmental care. This makes it uniquely positioned to serve critical sectors — semiconductors, solar energy, fibre optics, advanced manufacturing and even pharmaceuticals — that rely on ultra-pure silica to fuel their future. As Premier Kinew works to strengthen Manitoba’s economy through resource development and global partnerships, Sio Silica is putting these words into action. The company’s innovative model keeps more value here at home, supporting manufacturing, skilled trades and economic reconciliation, while building a globally competitive export strategy rooted in local strength. Rather than shipping raw materials overseas, Sio Silica is delivering on a comprehensive value chain — creating opportunities in research, engineering, logistics and clean technology.
As the world races to secure reliable supplies of critical minerals, Manitoba is emerging as a key player in the global transformation — and Sio Silica is leading the charge. With one of the world’s richest sources of high-purity silica right beneath our feet, this made- in-Manitoba company is delivering on Premier Wab Kinew’s vision: creating good jobs, attracting global investment, and unlocking the full potential of Manitoba’s natural resources through innovation and responsible development. “Churchill presents huge opportunities when it comes to mining, agriculture and energy,” Premier Kinew recently stated. “Our government’s investments are fuelling northern Manitoba’s economy, increasing international trade and unlocking new economic opportunities for all Manitobans.” Sio Silica is a clear example of this momentum — demonstrating how homegrown projects can support the premier’s bold plan to make Manitoba a leader in Canada’s critical minerals strategy. “Global demand for high-purity silica is outpacing supply, and governments are sounding the alarm,” says Carla Devlin, president
“This is about sustainable growth that works for Manitoba families and communities,” Devlin says. “We’re proud to be part of the premier’s plan to drive economic renewal from the heartland of Canada.” FROM MANITOBA TO THE WORLD With international interest growing and a made-in-Manitoba approach leading the way, Sio Silica is proving that our province is not only ready to meet global demand — but to shape the future of critical minerals. As Premier Kinew has made clear: Manitoba’s time is now. Learn more at www.siosilica.com
