Kyanite Mining Corporation is the world’s largest and oldest producer and supplier of the industrial mineral kyanite and its calcined derivative, Mullite. The company has been family owned and operated since the 1940s and has remained laser focused on its core business ever since. With millions of tons of reserves, tens of thousands of tons of finished product inventory, and with the capacity to mine, purify, process, and package well over a hundred thousand tons every year, KMC stands ready to meet the needs of its global customer base well into the future. You can trust us to never let you down, and we have the record of accomplishment to prove it. Ore Bodies & Processing Facilities

Kyanite Mining Corporation is built around two separate ore bodies and four separate processing facilities. These assets give the company the ability to produce close to 150,000 tons of highly purified Kyanite every year (and to turn 25,000 tons of that into high quality Mullite). The key to the operation is a state-of-the-art proprietary beneficiation process that takes as its feed a Kyanite-quartzite ore of widely varying grades/impurity loads. It then turns that material into a highly purified, consistent final product that refractory engineers the world over has come to rely on. Family Owned and Operated for Generations

For decades, the Dixon family has proudly owned and operated Kyanite Mining Corporation, passing down their dedication to putting the needs of their customers first from generation to generation. Safety and efficiency are a top priority in our mining process, and we strive to consistently produce the highest quality Kyanite and Mullite. The Dixons are committed to providing our valued customers with exceptional service and quick, reliable support. At Kyanite Mining Corporation, we continue that tradition and invest for the long term, prioritizing the next generation over short-term gains and always working towards the benefit of our customers.
