Manganese is vital for steel alloy production, enhancing hardness, tensile strength, and wear resistance. Over 90% of global manganese is consumed by the steel industry, with growing demand also emerging from the battery precursor and chemical sectors.

Coal is a key energy source and industrial fuel, widely used to power thermal power plants, support steelmaking through coking, and produce valuable by-products like tar and syngas, essential in the chemical industry.

Recycled scrap reduces costs and energy use in steelmaking and manufacturing—demand is rising with sustainability trends.

Derived from coal, coke is indispensable in blast furnace operations, where it provides intense heat and acts as a reducing agent essential for iron production.

With over 95% SiO₂ purity, it's crucial in glass, foundry molds, water filtration, construction, abrasives, and ceramics - its demand is rising sharply with solar and infrastructure growth.

Pure crystalline SiO₂ is used in electronics (such as oscillators), glass, ceramics, and abrasives. Its high purity and thermal stability are driving increased demand across the booming tech and construction sectors.

With high density and chemical stability, it's essential in drilling muds, paints, plastics, rubber, and pharmaceutical formulations, provides opacity and weight to various formulations.

A fine clay with high purity, kaolin is widely used in ceramics, porcelain, paper coatings, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals. Valued for its whiteness, smooth texture, and excellent finish quality.

Ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, and related alloys are essential steel additives that enhance strength, assist in deoxidizing, and help refine metal properties, playing a vital role across heavy industries.

Limestone is core to cement manufacturing, steel fluxing, agricultural soil neutralization, flue gas desulfurization, and water treatment, making it a highly versatile industrial mineral.

Dolomite is widely used in steel plant flux, refractories, glass manufacturing, and agrochemicals, with over 80% of global production consumed by the iron and steel industry.

Essential in cement (setting control), plasterboard, soil conditioning, and fertilizer granulation—used globally in construction and agriculture.

A by-product of steel mills, it's recycled for iron, cement additives, or sintering feed—valued for iron content and sustainability.

A swellable clay used in drilling muds, foundry molds, pelletizing iron ore, sealants, and cat litter—valued for binding and absorbency.

A high-temperature polymorph of silica used in refractory ceramics, glass, and advanced construction materials due to its thermal resistance.
