Diatreme Resources Limited has achieved a new milestone, with the discovery of a second high-grade silica sand resource within the northern area of the Cape Bedford (EPM17795) exploration tenement (Si 2 North Project). A new maiden Inferred Mineral Resource has been estimated by independent experts Ausrocks Pty Ltd. for the Company's Si 2 North Project, comprising 53.2 million tonnes @ 99.32% SiO2. This high-grade silica sand, subject to further mineralogical testing should be suitable for high-end glass manufacturing within the automotive, electronics and photovoltaic (solar panel) sectors and is currently in strong demand in the Asia-Pacific region.

The new discovery immediately abuts the mining leases of the world's largest silica sand mine at Cape Flattery in Far North Queensland, with potential for access to existing export infrastructure.
