Mineral Concession & Provenance
The limestone formations of the Koh-e-Maran range in Kalat District host Pakistan’s richest fluorite (fluorspar) veins. Balochistan Minerals extracts and processes high-purity natural fluorite lumps and briquettes. We supply metallurgical grade fluorspar (metspar) used as a vital fluxing agent in basic oxygen steelmaking, as well as high-grade acid fluorspar for hydrofluoric acid and chemical synthesis.

Grain Sizing & Particle Distribution
Industrial Off-Take & Usability
Steelmaking Slag Fluxing
Lowers the melting temperature of basic slag and accelerates lime dissolution in basic oxygen furnaces (BOF) and electric arc furnaces (EAF).
Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) Production
High-purity acid grade fluorspar ($>97% ext{CaF}_2$) reacted with sulfuric acid to produce HF for fluorocarbons and semiconductor etching.
Aluminum Smelting Electrolytes
Precursor for synthetic cryolite ($Na_3AlF_6$) and aluminum fluoride ($AlF_3$) additions to the Hall-Héroult reduction cell bath.
Ceramics & Specialty Optical Glass
Fluxing agent in ceramic enamels, sanitaryware glazes, and infrared optical lenses requiring low dispersion.
Mine-to-Port Supply Chain
Integrated handling and transport protocols guarantee that cargo arrives without contamination, moisture elevation, or grain degradation.
