Minerals & ores
mineralia offers mineral and metal ores in their raw and primary forms to manufacturers, processing and extraction companies, and to importers and traders working in the sector.
Ores from which tantalum is extracted. Industries value this metal for its corrosion resistance and ability to withstand demanding operating conditions. Once refined, it is used in capacitors, electronic components, specialty alloys and chemical processing equipment.
A source of niobium for developing steel alloys and improving their strength. After extraction and preparation, niobium is used in pipes, structures and equipment, as well as specialty alloys and superconducting magnets.
Malachite is a copper ore known for its green color and distinctive formations. Composed of basic copper carbonate, it is a source of copper for wires, cables, motors, electronic circuits, alloys and coins. Malachite itself is also selected for jewelry and ornamental work after cutting and polishing.
Iron-bearing materials used in iron and steel production. Some types also serve in pigment production and the coloring of construction materials. These uses give iron oxides a role in metallurgical and construction industries, depending on the ore’s characteristics and how it is prepared.
Ores from which zinc is extracted for galvanizing iron and steel to protect them from rust. Zinc is also used in alloys and castings, while its compounds serve a range of industries, including rubber, paints and chemicals.
Raw materials for lead extraction and refining at specialist facilities. The metal is used in batteries, alloys, cable sheathing and radiation shielding, according to the needs of these industries.
Ores that supply nickel to the steel and alloy industries, where it contributes to corrosion and heat resistance. After extraction and refining, nickel is used in stainless steel, metal plating, batteries and specialized industrial applications.
Ores containing platinum, a precious metal with industrial value. Platinum is extracted and refined for use in chemical catalysts, vehicle catalytic converters and certain electronic components, as well as jewelry.
Gold-bearing ores supplied to processing, extraction and refining facilities. Once refined, gold is used in jewelry and bullion, as well as precision electronic connectors and components.
Silver-bearing raw materials for facilities that separate and refine the metal. Silver is used in jewelry and mirrors, and plays an important role in electrical conductors, printed circuits and soldering alloys.
Heavy mineral ores used to produce titanium dioxide or extract titanium metal. Titanium dioxide is used in paints, pigments and cosmetics. After suitable processing, the metal and its alloys are used in aircraft, spacecraft, marine applications, and corrosion-resistant equipment and piping.
Ores with a key role in iron, steel and alloy production, where manganese helps improve strength and wear resistance. Its compounds are also used in glass, ceramics and a range of chemical applications.
