| Abstract | Most of the minerals employed in Canadian refractory production are imported, in fact most of the refractories consumed in Canada are imported. Whereas this situation is partly due to a definite
shortage of suitable raw materials, e.g., fireclays, it is possible that the potential of certain mineral deposits which could be usefully exploited has not been recognized. There are exceptions, notably magnesite and dolomite, from which
refractories are produced in Canada. In many cases, known mineral deposits are located in either inaccessible areas or in areas where transportation would be a major economic factor. This paper lists some minerals and their respective known deposits
which could be employed in the production of refractories irrespective of economics. |
