US Silica Holdings “SLCA” is the second largest domestic producer of commercial silica, a specialized
mineral that is a critical input into a variety of end markets. In SLCA’s largest end market, oil and gas
proppants, their frac sand is used to stimulate and maintain the flow of hydrocarbons in horizontally drilled oil
and natural gas wells.
SLCA sales are primarily a function of the price per ton realized and the volumes sold. In some instances,
their sales also include a charge for transportation services, which they provide to customers.

RCS Phase 1
• First quarter of 2013, SLCA’s new resin-coated sand facility became fully operational
• Capacity: 200,000 tons
• Client testing/evaluation underway
• Complete facility expected to resin coat up to 400 million pounds of sand annually and will significantly
expand addressable oil and gas proppant market
During the second half of 2012 SLCA expanded with a Greenfield Mine and construction of a production
facility near Sparta, Wisconsin. Producing high quality northern white sand
Sparta Phase I
• Capacity: 850,000 tons
• This was completed at the end of Q1 (ahead of schedule)
• 70% or greater of this product is already contracted out
Sparta Phase II
• Capacity: 850,000 tons
• Due to market demand, the Board authorized the acceleration of the construction and commissioning
of Sparta Phase II
• SLCA expects the new facility will increase their annual production by 1,700,000 tons when fully
operational
Once this expansion fully comes online later this year, SLCA’s total annual frac sand capacity will be
approximately 4.6MM tons, more than a 50% increase versus 2012
Catalysts
• Further expansion of their storage network
• Goal of 25 to 30 transloads online by the end of 2013
– Every transload they add expands their addressable in-basin market by putting them
within driving distance of additional rigs
• Increase in:
– Stages per well
– Wells per rig
– Lateral length
• The longer the lateral wells and the more stages in a well, the more proppant will be
consumed
– Sand spot prices
• M&A
– Moving up the supply chain with acquisitions in mining, processing,
transloads/logistics, and storage
– Increased Scale
• Domestic proppant producers are expected to experience annual increases in
demand of 8.0% through 2016*
• Dividend increase
– Announced quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share (.50 per annually)
Catalysts
* Freedonia report dated October 2012
Increased frac sand demand even with flattish horizontal rig count due
to:
• Rig efficiencies
• Well intensity
Catalysts
Source: IHS, RBC Capital Markets estimates
