A chemically bondable foundry sand comprising a mixture of sand, binder and a plurality of fibres intimately mixed and dispersed throughout the mixture. Cores and moulds made from such sand have improved fracture resistance. The mixture may comprise from 0.01 to 1.0 wt. % of fibres, the length/diameter ratio of each fibre may be at least 10 and the fibres may have a length of from 1 to 20 mm. The fibres may be glass fibres, organic fibres or natural fibres. The binder may comprise a silicate binder or an organic binder such as a phenolic binder or a furane binder.
