Process facility
The Quartz Corp, Drag
Two quartz refining plants operated at Drag in Norway by The Quartz Corp, reported as operating with more than 35 million US dollars of upgrades. Lithoen holds NO evidence of what these plants are fed: the same company also operates at Spruce Pine in the United States, and the source that names the Drag plants records European imports of high-purity quartz from several countries. A European purification facility with an unestablished feed origin is exactly what it is, and nothing is inferred to fill that in.
