Industrial minerals
No other industry has such crucial impact on our lives, our world is made of industrial minerals. Every human on earth consumes minerals in the course of their lifespan and as such are amongst the most important raw materials for our world. Extraction is the beginning of processes that take minerals into our lives. Without these minerals there will be no glass, ceramics, paper, plastics or paint.
In fact, your life would be totally different without industrial minerals!
