Pontotoc Sand and Stone

What Pontotoc Sand and Stone does

Pontotoc Sand and Stone is a privately held mining and aggregates producer founded in 2014 and headquartered in Stonewall, Oklahoma, with a regional office in St. Louis, Missouri. The company operates open-pit quarries that source from the St. Petersburg and Oil Creek sandstone formations, supplying three core product lines: Tier 1 frac sand in 100 mesh, 40/70, and 40/80 mesh grades for hydraulic fracturing; crushed limestone in rock, chip, screenings, and rip rap sizes for construction and infrastructure; and high-purity industrial silica sand for glass, metal casting, ceramics, and roofing shingle manufacturing. Stated monthly production capacity exceeds 100,000 tons of silica and frac sand, with limestone produced on-site from an owned quarry and crusher. Processing relies on automated washing, classifying, drying, and screening systems, supported by a closed-loop water recycling system that reclaims 98% of process water.

The business monetizes through one-time direct sales of bulk commodity products to enterprise customers across five primary verticals: oil and gas (frac sand proppant), construction, roofing, glass manufacturing, and metal casting. Distribution is direct via commercial trucks with a proprietary automated loading system achieving 7-10 minute gate-to-gate cycles, rail using the company's proximity to rail lines and a 2024 partnership with American Silica for rail logistics, and barge for Central and Midwest US customers with water access. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure, and quality assurance includes hourly sieve, sphericity, acid solubility, turbidity, and crush-resistance testing using Computerized Particle Analysis (CPA).

Pontotoc's go-to-market is sales-led and field-based, reaching enterprise buyers through the company website, contact forms, direct phone outreach, and an extensive educational blog covering frac sand, limestone, and industrial sand applications. A 2024 strategic rail partnership with American Silica and a 51-100 employee base reflect an active but privately funded growth posture. No public revenue, institutional ownership, or parent-company affiliations are disclosed, and a 2023 funding entry of $10,000 is immaterial to the capital structure.
