Mỏ thạch anh tại North Carolina quan trọng đã hoạt động trở lại sau cơn bão Helene. Sibelco, một trong những công ty khai thác thạch anh tinh khiết tại Spruce Pine, North Carolina, đã khôi phục hoạt động. Trong thông báo mới nhất vào thứ Năm, công ty cho biết sản xuất và vận chuyển tinh thể thạch anh, một yếu tố quan trọng trong quá trình sản xuất chip, đang “dần dần tăng cường lên công suất đầy đủ.”
Spruce Pine posséde le seul quartz naturel au monde assez pur pour être utilisé comme creuset lors du processus de fabrication des puces. Dans le passé, certains experts ont averti que toute perturbation des opérations d’extraction du quartz à Spruce Pine pourrait avoir des impacts massifs sur la chaîne d’approvisionnement des puces qui entrent dans les téléphones, les ordinateurs, les panneaux solaires et autres appareils.
Quartz Corp, qui exploite également du quartz à haute pureté à Spruce Pine, a interrompu ses opérations le 26 septembre. Malgré cela, elle a déclaré ne pas s’attendre à une “situation critique” pour les industries utilisant le quartz en raison des stocks existants et des produits finis tout au long de la chaîne d’approvisionnement.
“Alors que le chemin vers une récupération complète pour nos communautés sera long, redémarrer nos opérations et reprendre les expéditions vers nos clients sont des contributeurs importants à la reconstruction de l’économie locale”, a déclaré le PDG de Sibelco, Hilmar Rode, dans le communiqué de presse.

Sibelco, one of the companies mining high-purity quartz in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, has resumed operations. In an update on Thursday, the company said that production and shipments of the quartz, which is crucial to the chipmaking process, are “progressively ramping up to full capacity.”
Spruce Pine has the only naturally occurring quartz in the world that’s pure enough to use as a crucible during the chip manufacturing process. In the past, some experts warned that any disruption to Spruce Pine quartz mining operations could have massive impacts on the supply chain for the chips that go into phones, computers, solar panels, and other devices.
The Quartz Corp, which also mines high-purity quartz in Spruce Pine, paused operations on September 26th. Despite this, it said it didn’t expect any “critical situation” for industries using the quartz due to existing stock and finished products throughout the supply chain.
“While the road to full recovery for our communities will be long, restarting our operations and resuming shipments to customers are important contributors to rebuilding the local economy,” Sibelco CEO Hilmar Rode said in the press release.
