Sand mining is usually called sand quarrying in Britain. Sand quarrying is when a deposit on land of sand is viable and profitable to be extracted out of the ground - commercially viable is the main criteria! Mining implies going underground to follow a seam of coal, copper, and other materials. It is much cheaper to open-cast rather then go underground. Any quarried sand could be used in several ways, depending on the quality. This is why you may see sharp sand, silver sand, etc, advertised for sale or used in commercial manufacturing of certain products.

Are there any industries on Fraser island such as fishing or mining?
The only industry on Fraser Island is tourism or, more specifically, camping.
