“Select Sands is one step closer to fulfilling its strategy to target the industrial sand market segment to balance its frac sand opportunities in the oil field markets,” stated the Company’s CEO Rasool Mohammad.  “The commercial building and housing construction boom in the United States has created growing demand for Tier 1 silica sands, and Carl will help expedite the industrial sale process into that market.”

 

About Select Sands Corp.
