The Dunite deposit of Yerakini has de following mineralogical composition:
– Olivine typ 50%
– Serpentine typ.20%
– Enstatite typ. 20%
The mineralogical composition, together with an MgO content higher than 41% and an LOI of
less than 7%, give the ESand the ideal physical and chemical properties to be used as taphole
filler sand for electric arc furnace.
With the formation of a minimum sand sintering layer, it is possible to ensure a high
percentage of free opening and therefore an improvement in the productivity of the process.
The quality control carried out by SANTA Minerals allows for complete traceability of the material
from the Mine to the customer.
