I don't think that text is very realistic. The US isn't the only place with a high-purity quartz mine, and it is very difficult to contaminate them even if you have a crop duster with that specific powder. This is a very strong hypothetical.

bought Ṁ45 NO

To be clear, you don't mean "disrupt" in the silicon-valley sense (i.e. make a splash in the industry). You mean like, physically intervene in the mining process. Right?
