Clare: Iraq discovers huge reserves of silica sand with a purity of up to 98%
11/1/2025
The Eco Iraq Observatory announced on Saturday the quantities of silica sand discovered in the governorates of Anbar and Najaf, describing it as “white gold”.
The observatory said in a statement that “Iraq’s environment is rich in natural resources that are no less important than oil, most notably silica sands,” indicating that “initial explorations indicate that Anbar province contains about 600 million discovered tons and more than one billion tons of reserves with a purity of up to 98%.”
The observatory added, “In the Najaf Governorate, there are quantities estimated at about 330 million tons of sand suitable for glassmaking, and about 577.5 million tons for colored glassmaking, bringing the total to about 907.5 million tons of silica sand explored with a purity of nearly 95%,” noting that “the price of one ton of silica sand ranges between 100 and 150 dollars, which makes investing in these resources capable of supplying the general budget with billions of dollars, in addition to providing more than 10,000 job opportunities in the two governorates.”
The observatory criticized the “weak procedures for investing in these raw materials despite the presence of Iraqi competencies capable of managing them,” stressing “the need to amend the Mineral Investment Law No. 91 of 1988, as amended, in order to provide greater opportunities for discovering and investing in the country’s natural resources.”
He confirmed that “investing in these sands will provide more than 10,000 job opportunities.”
Silica sand is used in the manufacture of glass, silicone products, and building materials. It is also used in electronic devices, solar cells, and filtration processes.
Global consumption of silica sand reached approximately 479 million tons during 2024, with a value ranging between approximately $14 billion and $72 billion depending on the quality of the sand and the market price. LINK

Envoy Savanna expressed a positive view towards Iraq and its government, which reflects a growing understanding within the American administration of the nature of the Iraqi scene.”

Frank26 You understand what’s happening don’t you? It’s a slow roll out of the lower notes so it doesn’t shock the system so the Iraqi citizens don’t go bonkers and make mistakes along the way…
Nader From The Mid East If they start coming out with the small category it will not work with their numbers, will not work with the exchange rate. If they doing it that mean they’re ready to change the exchange rate.
Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: They are talking on television about asking for permission [From US Treasury, Britian and France] to go 1 to 1… FRANK: This is extremely powerful. I apologize that I don’t have an article for you just yet and you may not even get an article, but I think you will…This is huge. This is monstrous…Why would they ask permission to go 1 to 1? Because they’re about to show the new exchange rate and lower notes to the Iraqi citizens and float the damn thing…Once they have permission to be at least 1 to 1 with the dollar, then they will strive to reach the RI of $3.22 and possibly up to $4.25 in the real effective exchange rate of the float in the basket…
