JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Silicor Materials says it has not given up on locating a silicon manufacturing operation in Mississippi.

Last week, Silicor's proposed project in Lowndes County failed when the company missed a deadline to put up $150,000 to secure land and incentives.

The Silicor plant was initially forecast to employ 200. An additional phase of the project — a silicon metal purifying operation — was expected to provide 750 jobs.

State and local officials offered an incentive package of more than $90 million.

Silicor, in a statement released Monday, said it was working investors and some international partners and the Mississippi Development Authority to find a site in Mississippi. It did not say what sites in which it might be interested.
