Title: Alpine Silica among the top suppliers of sand to the Permian basin

When ranking the top 5 sand mines in the Permian Basin, it makes more sense to evaluate based on driving time rather than distance. Fewer hours between mines and sand producer facilities means more truckloads can be moved in a given period, thereby increasing profits and productivity. Given the scale of the Permian Basin, the rankings are broken down by key sub-market. These numbers are averages based on studies conducted by Infill Thinking. Top 5 Northern Delaware Mines 1. Badger Kermit 2. Alpine Silica WTX 1 3. High Roller 4. Atlas Sand Kermit 5. Black Mountain El Dorado Between some mines, the difference in drive times is only a few minutes. Over time, however, those minutes add up. More time on the road means more truck drivers needed to move the same volume. For context, the average drive times between each submarket mine and the average Permian basin mine are: • Northern Delaware – 106 minutes • Southern Delaware – 73 minutes • Northern Midland – 104 minutes • Southern Midland – 121 minutes
