Sibelco, a major quartz mining company in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, has resumed operations following the impact of Hurricane Helene.
Sibelco, one of the companies mining high-purity quartz in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, has resumed operations. In an update on Thursday, the company said that production and shipments of the quartz, which is crucial to the chipmaking process, are “progressively ramping up to full capacity.” After Hurricane Helene caused devastating floods, mudslides, and power outages in parts of North Carolina, Sibelco announced that it had paused its operations.
In the past, some experts warned that any disruption to Spruce Pine quartz mining operations could have massive impacts on the supply chain for the chips that go into phones, computers, solar panels, and other devices. The Quartz Corp, which also mines high-purity quartz in Spruce Pine, paused operations on September 26th. Despite this, it said it didn’t expect any “critical situation” for industries using the quartz due to existing stock and finished products throughout the supply chain.
