MOUNTAINS OF UNMINED KYANITE AND HIGH-CAPACITY, HIGH-EFFICIENT PRODUCTION FACILITIES MAKES KMC THE WORLD’S OLDEST AND LARGEST PRODUCER OF KYANITE.

kyanite bagsOver the years we've taken many core samples and we have yet to reach the end of the kyanite deposits in our mountains. So we know the mountains contain enough ore reserves to produce Virginia Kyanite™ for at least another 50 years.

mullite pileOur around-the-clock operation can produce more than 150,000 tons of commercial grade kyanite concentrate every year. The plant capacity can easily be increased if necessary and very quickly. We have the capacity to store more than 30,000 tons of Virginia Kyanite™ and 30,000 tons Virginia Mullite™ 35 mesh in bulk form.

“One of the first questions our big industrial customers ask when they come to visit us here is ‘how much kyanite we have left’,” says Gene Dixon Jr. “I then ask them to look out the window at one of our mountains so they can see for themselves. We’ve barely taken the top off of it – and we’ve been at it here for almost 50 years. In the 300 core samples we’ve done, we have never reached the ‘bottom’ of the kyanite."
