Gore Mining Company is reopening the Ridgeley sandstone deposit in Gore, VA — washed, certified construction, industrial, energy, and specialty sand from a single source.
Welcome back to the mountain
After decades of production, the Gore silica mine is coming back online under new ownership — same seam, new standards. Glad to have you here.
From ready-mix concrete sand to high-purity silica and API proppant, every product is washed, screened, and certified before it leaves the scale.
ConstructionASTM C33 / AASHTO M6Washed, well-graded fine aggregate engineered for consistent slump and strength in ready-mix and precast concrete.
ConstructionASTM C144Fine, uniformly screened sand for mortar and grout — clean working, consistent color, and dependable board life.
Industrial99.3%+ SiO₂High-purity, low-iron silica from the Devonian Ridgeley sandstone for glass, foundry, and abrasive applications — kiln-dried and tightly classified.
EnergyAPI / ISO 13503-2Northern-white style monocrystalline proppant with high crush resistance and sphericity for well completions.
SpecialtyAWWA B100Graded filtration sand and support gravel for municipal and industrial water treatment, sized to your underdrain.
ConstructionUtility gradeEconomical, free-draining sand for backfill, pipe bedding, and site work — available screened or pit-run.
Everything from the bench to the loadout happens on site, so we control the grade, the moisture, and the schedule.
Permitted open-pit mining of clean valley deposits with phased reclamation and engineered benches.
Wash plants and hydraulic classifiers remove fines and silt and dial in a precise particle curve.
Multi-deck screens cut tight, repeatable gradations from coarse concrete sand to fine filter media.
Rotary dryers and dust control deliver kiln-dry, low-moisture silica for industrial and bagged products.
On-site sieve analysis, moisture, silica content, and crush testing — certs travel with every load.
Certified scales, fast truck turns, rail siding, and super-sack lines keep your project moving.
We don't broker someone else's sand. Material is mined, processed, tested, and loaded under one roof — which is why the grade in the lab matches the grade in your truck.
Selective digging of clean deposits from engineered benches.
Scrub, deslime, and classify to remove silt and clays.
Multi-deck screening to tight, repeatable gradations.
Rotary drying and de-dusting for low-moisture grades.
Lab QC with certs of analysis on every shipment.
Scaled loadout by truck, rail, or super sack.

Loadout & haul
The Gore pitContractors and plant managers don't want surprises in their aggregate. Here's why they standardize on us.
Construction, industrial, energy, and specialty grades from one pit means one PO, one contact, one consistent product.
Our on-site lab issues a certificate of analysis with each shipment — no guessing on gradation or silica content.
Certified scales and fast truck turns get you loaded and back on the road, typically inside 24–48 hours of order.
Hundreds of acres of permitted reserves mean we can commit to multi-year supply agreements with confidence.
Tell us the grade and the tonnage. We'll send pricing and a certificate of analysis, and get you on the loadout schedule.
