The main driver for the very rapid, steadily increasing demand of frac sand is the United States focus on becoming self-sufficient in energy (6 million barrels new oil per day) by the year 2020 plus the reduction of green house gases. The demand has been generated by the technology breakthrough of horizontal drilling combined with multiple fracking. President Obama's climate plan will accelerate natural gas (NG) usage as well. NG is targeted to replace coal (50% less CO2 and no mercury) in electrical power generating plants plus there is now the drive to covert trains and highway trucks from diesel to NG.

Natural sand is the least expensive proppant used in fracking. The demand for natural frac sand continues to grow and is now 90% of the market. The US mined and processed 31 million tons of frac sand in 2012 to produce about 2 million barrels of new shale oil. (USGS and 2^nd annual Frac Sand Conference Houston and Hart Energy Graph DUG Conference Calgary 2013) The 2020 target of energy self sufficiency requires about 6 million barrels of new oil per day (DUG Conference Calgary 2013) thus requiring 3 times the amount of frac sand or ~90 million tons. The demand for NG continues to grow thus frac sand demand could even be higher by 2020.

The Canadian frac sand market is growing at the same rate. Saskatchewan and Alberta added 200,000 barrels of new light and medium crude oil per day in 2012 requiring about 2.8 million tonnes of frac sand. The political will to build NG pipelines and major LNG export plants in British Columbia is increasing; NG drilling will substantially increase the demand for frac sand. Canada's 4 frac sand mines produced less than 2 million tonnes of sand in 2012; the remainder is imported by rail from the US.

The largest cost component for frac sand is transportation. Talisman Energy at the 2013 DUG Conference in Calgary presented a logistics slide for the Winn Bay Mine at Hanson Lake, Saskatchewan. The frac sand is hauled 98 km by truck to Flin Flon, Manitoba, railed 2,025 km by CN to Chetwynd, British Columbia and trucked 120 km to the well. The premium white sand from Winn Bay is 1350 km closer than the next closest supply; Talisman saving per well ~ $150,000. Seymourville will have similar logistics and savings for any oil company serviced by CN, CPR or the Warren Buffet owned BNSF railroad.

Charles Gryba, CEO of Claim Post Resources, stated: "We recognized 18 months ago that there was a growing market for frac sand and that Claim Post could transition to becoming an 'Oil Service Company' rather than just being an exploration company. Timmins mines have used 100 million tons of natural sand for mine backfill thus it was an easy transition to evaluate mining and processing frac sand. Similarly, the First Nation people that live near the proposed "Seymourville Frac Sand Project" have extensive experience as they worked at mining and processing Black Island silica sand; started in 1928 and closed in 2004. Others in the local communities have current permitting experience as well as active mining careers. This financing is the first step in funding the Seymourville Frac Sand Project."
