TR/CARD/10Z...The board...This is the first time I've seen C2C/GSA specifically mentioning "ZEOFUME." To produce ZEOFUME to Haliburton's specs a KDS has to be used. FWIW/IMHO:

[snip] GSA Resources Inc., Tucson, AZ, and C2C Zeolite Corp., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, have joined forces to produce ZeoFume, an
alternative to silica fume. GSA Resources will supply the zeolite (chabazite) from which the product will be manufactured and C2C
Zeolite will supply the technology. The product is used in cement to increase performance for construction, oilfield cementing, and
shotcrete applications. The chabazite is dried, heat treated, ground, and packaged. The zeolite’s pozzolanic properties are enhanced
through the heat treatment. The companies expect to manufacture 5,000 t in the United States and 4,000 t in Canada in 2003. GSA
Resources mines chabazite from its deposit near Bowie, AZ. Reserves are estimated to be 590 million metric tons (Mt) of 90%
chabazite content. C2C Zeolite operates a clinoptilolite mine in British Columbia and has reserves in Nova Scotia that contain stilbite,
mordenite, phillipsite, chabazite, and clinoptilolite (Industrial Minerals, 2002b).

[snip] Canada.—Zeo-Tech Enviro Corp. began mining at its Princeton, British Columbia, deposit. The company produced 4,000 t for
shipment to C2C Zeolite. The zeolite was processed for use in cement mixes for oil well cementing and construction applications.
The product served as an alternative to fumed silica (Zeo-Tech Enviro Corp., 2002). C2C Zeolite has an agreement with GSA
Resources for similar applications in the United States.
