I also read from some people that work loosely in that part of the supply chain that the reports of thatcmine being so critical being a bit overblown, apparently there are quite a few mines that also yield very pure quartz, it just needs to be refined a bit which is a bit more expensive than this already ultra pure one. So its mostly a cost thing, not that the entire industry depends on those two mines to operate at all.
