INVEST

Stage 1: a silica treatment facility. Open to investment.

Syria Silicon is open to investment of around USD 35 million for Stage 1: a facility to wash, grade, dry and bag the Al-Qaryatayn silica quartz sand for export through the Port of Tartus. The plan, subject to closing the investment, is to establish the Syrian Silicon City in stages, beginning with this treatment facility in 2027–2028. Further stages depend on what the silica purity reveals on the ground.

What is offered

  • A minority economic interest in the operating company for investors who fund the Stage 1 cash requirement. Syria Silicon retains the majority and contributes the study mandate and approvals, the land programme, the supply relationship, management and the technical team.
  • Two sand-supply arrangements for the investor to choose between: payment at loading, or credit from the mine in exchange for a shareholding taken from the Syria Silicon side. The investor's interest is the same under both.
  • Investor protections in a shareholders' agreement: reserved matters, board representation, distribution policy, audit and information rights, pre-emption and transfer provisions, an offshore holding company and international arbitration.
  • The full terms, the financial model and the returns under each option are in the Data Room.
