FLUORSPAR. Domestic Production and Use: In 2019, minimal fluorspar (calcium fluoride, CaF2) was produced in the United States. One company sold fluorspar from stockpiles produced as a byproduct of its limestone quarrying operation in Cave-in-Rock, IL. Synthetic fluorspar may have been recovered as a byproduct of petroleum alkylation, stainless ...
It is a fluorspar-rich region and is called Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar Mining District. The biggest deposits of fluorite in North America are in the Burin Peninsula, Canada. The first recognition of this mineral in that area was recorded in 1843 by geologist J.B. Jukes. However, the commercial mining of fluorite in the region began only in 1928.
Fluorine compounds are essential in numerous chemical and manufacturing processes. Fluorspar is the commercial name for fluorite (isometric CaF2), which is the only fluorine mineral that is mined on a large scale. Fluorspar is used directly as a fluxing material and as an additive in different manufacturing processes. It is the source of …

Nokeng comprises three adjacent, high-quality haematite-fluorspar deposits – Plattekop, Outwash Fan and Wiltin. The first two, prioritised for development and mining, contain an estimated total Mineral Reserve (SAMREC-compliant) of 12Mt (Plattekop: 2.7Mt at 38.6%% CaF 2 in situ grade; Outwash Fan: 9Mt at 25.1% % CaF 2 in situ grade).. Wiltin, located …
The mine will initially exploit two haematite-fluorspar ore-bodies, Outwash Fan and Plattekop, with an option to later include Wiltin, a proposed ore-body. At an average run-of-mine (ROM) rate of 30,000tpa, production of 185,000tpa of acid grade fluorspar and up to 30,000tpa of metallurgical grade fluorspar will be produced at the open-pit mine.
Fluorite (fluorspar) mining got its start in Illinois in 1842. The mineral is usually referred to as fluorite, while the product that is mined is called fluorspar. It was used as a flux to help remove impurities while smelting metals like iron and aluminum. It also is used in products ranging from optical lenses to fluoride (derived from ...
The raw product, fluorspar, extracted from the Las Cuevas mine in San Luis Potosi can be used directly to manufacture hydrofluoric acid, while also being a raw material for the making of glass, steel, cement, and ceramics. Hydrofluoric acid itself then goes on to be used in a wide range of industrial applications, ranging from refrigerant gases ...

Fluorspar is a halide mineral composed of calcium fluoride and is derived from the Latin root " fluo" ( meaning "to flow") because the mineral was discovered to decrease the viscosity of slag in iron smelting. In 1852, fluorite gave its name to the phenomenon of fluorescence. Today, fluorspar is also used in aluminium production, …
