Hurricane Helene has closed two major quartz mining operations in North Carolina, responsible for over 80% of the high-purity quartz needed in semiconductor and solar industries. The mines have been shut since September 26, with no clear date for reopening due to flooding and power outages in the area. While major companies like TSMC are monitoring the situation, they do not expect significant immediate impacts on their operations.
