Oolite:  A subsidiary strategically launched by Ovonics Energy to venture into the mineral resource market, having secured the exclusive sales and marketing rights for a unique form of Aragonite Sand, known as oolites, from the Bahamas. This venture is solidified through a partnership with Buddy Bartlett and positions Ovonics Energy to become a pivotal distributor of this versatile mineral. The significance of Oolite, LLC extends beyond mere sales; it positions the company to supply a critical resource with broad applications, including the oil and gas industry’s hydraulic fracturing operations, the cement sector, and various environmental applications. The introduction of oolites into these markets is a strategic move designed to diversify Ovonics Energy’s commercial portfolio and expand its operational reach significantly.

The Aragonite Sand marketed by Oolite, LLC boasts an impressive 99% calcium carbonate composition and is the only recent origin inorganic mineral that is renewable, setting a new standard for sustainability in the industry. Its physical properties exceed ISO standards for commercial frac sand proppants, and its crush resistance outperforms many existing silicas sand proppants. The sand’s high buffering capacity is beneficial for maintaining stability downhole, and its natural ability to absorb sulfur and solubility in acid opens further industrial applications. Moreover, the oolite handling process effectively eliminates dust-related OSHA risks and offers economic advantages with its higher decanting rate, which translates to lower drying costs compared to traditional silica sand. These attributes underscore Oolite, LLC’s role as a transformative subsidiary within Ovonics Energy’s broader commitment to sustainability and innovation in the energy and mineral sectors.
