Aluminium
A light silvery metal made by passing an enormous electric current through dissolved bauxite — which is why people call…
Cement
Powdered limestone and clay cooked at 1,450 C, which sets hard when mixed with water — the glue that holds concrete…
Clays
Soft, fine-grained rock made of microscopic plates that slide over each other when wet — which is why it can be shaped…
Construction Sand & Gravel
The most-mined material on Earth by weight, and the one nobody thinks of as mining.
Copper
The reddish metal that carries electricity better than anything except silver, and which humans have been smelting for…
Crushed Stone
Rock blasted and broken to size — limestone, granite, trap rock — and, with sand, the largest tonnage humans move.
Dimension Stone
Rock cut into blocks and slabs rather than crushed — granite, marble, limestone, slate — sold for what it looks like.
Feldspar & Nepheline Syenite
The most abundant mineral group in the crust, used as the flux that lets glass and ceramic melt at a workable…
Gypsum
A soft white rock that becomes plasterboard — the interior surface of most buildings in the developed world.
Industrial Sand & Gravel
Sand selected for what it is made of rather than what size it is — nearly pure quartz, for glass, foundries and…
Iron & Steel
Iron with a little carbon in it, and the most-produced manufactured material on the planet.
Iron & Steel Scrap
Old steel collected to be melted into new steel — the largest recycling stream on the planet by weight.
Iron Ore
Rust-coloured rock that is roughly one-third to two-thirds iron, and the single largest tonnage the mining industry…
Iron Oxide Pigments
Rust, refined — the reds, yellows, browns and blacks that have coloured paint and pottery since the first cave walls.
Kyanite & Related Minerals
Blue-bladed crystals that expand rather than shrink when fired, which makes them the backbone of refractory brick.
Lime
Limestone burned until it becomes quicklime — a chemical used to purify steel, treat water and neutralise acid.
Magnesium Compounds
Magnesia and its relatives, made from magnesite rock or extracted from seawater, which survive heat that would destroy…
Metallurgical Coal
Coal of the specific quality that, when baked without air, turns into coke — the hard carbon that both fuels and…
Perlite
A volcanic glass with water trapped inside it that pops like popcorn when heated, expanding to many times its size.
Pumice & Pumicite
Volcanic froth — rock so full of gas bubbles that it floats — quarried for lightweight concrete and abrasives.
Salt
Sodium chloride — the seasoning on a table, and the feedstock for the chlorine and caustic soda that most of the…
Soda Ash
Sodium carbonate, mined from trona rock or made from salt, and the second ingredient in almost every sheet of glass.
Vanadium
A metal that makes rebar dramatically stronger in tiny doses, and that can also store electricity dissolved in a tank…
Vermiculite
A mica-like mineral that unfolds into a concertina when heated, becoming light, fireproof and full of air.
Zinc
The metal that steel is dipped in so it does not rust — a sacrificial coating that corrodes instead of the iron…
