As our conversation draws to a close , Billy proposes : “ I ’ d like to see us solidify our position as the biggest standalone sand mine in the Eagle Ford basin . We will uphold our reputation as the number one supplier for our customers , but we ’ re always open to pursue
markets and opportunities as they arise .”
Stefan suggests : “ We will continue to spend a lot of time and effort , as we have done over the last three years , building our position as one of the safest and most efficient mines .
