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.

KMC would like to wish all of their employees, as well as their families, a relaxing and enjoyable long weekend. I hope you have enjoyed your time off this week. Thank you for all your hard work. Please take this time to rest and recharge.
And a special thank you to all who came out to help us celebrate Kyanite Mining Corporation's 80th Anniversary. Our three-day event went better than I could have imagined. Employees and their families, past employees, friends, customers from right here in the USA, and customers who traveled from overseas to join us in the festivities. All of you guys made this a most memorable three days. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. Here's to the next 80 years!
