magnesite
Refractory material source
Magnesite is a mineral composed of magnesium carbonate, typically white or gray, found in metamorphic and sedite is a source of magnesium for industrial processes and is used in making refractory bricks that withstand high temperatures.
The deposit contained high-grade magnesite suitable for steel production.
