The companies in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, have halted mining operations of the world’s purest quartz — a critical part of the chipmaking process.
Companies mining high-purity quartz in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, have paused operations in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The quartz is a critical component of the chipmaking process — and it’s only found in Spruce Pine. The two mining companies in the area, Sibelco and The Quartz Corp, confirmed that flooding, power outages, and employee displacement have led them to stop their work.
Our top priority remains the health, safety, and well-being of our employees, as well as ensuring the security of the Spruce Pine facility. The Quartz Corp also posted a statement online saying that the company paused operations on September 26th and that it has “no visibility on when they will restart.” Last week, Hurricane Helene dumped two feet of rain on Spruce Pine and caused catastrophic damage throughout the mountain towns of western North Carolina.
