“Without a market, an industrial mineral deposit is
merely a geological curiosity”
Industrial Minerals (IM) is devoted to covering the entire industrial minerals industry. Therefore, through our publications and events we cover all aspects of the mine to market supply chain.
In general, three broad sectors can be identified that facilitate the route of a mineral from mine to market, and IM keenly monitors all three of these vital stages:
• supply sector
• logistics sector
• consuming market sector
Since it is the mineral consuming markets that ultimately drive demand for industrial minerals, IM covers all relevant news and information from the this sector that influences mineral supply and demand.

- Abrasives
