- Abstract
The article discusses the latest developments in the global aluminum silicate mineral industry, particularly in the U.S., as of June 2011. Such minerals include kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), mine production of kyanite and associated materials like andalusite, sillimanite and mullite stood at around 430 kiloton (kt) in 2010, up by about 15% from 2009. The top global supplier of kyanite and calcined kyanite products in 2010 was U.S.-based Kyanite Mining Corp. (KMC).
