The Mineral Industry of Georgia

This hapler has been prepared under a Memorandum of Understanding between the Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the In terior, and the Georgia Geologic Survey, Environmental Protection Division, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, for collecting information on all nonfuel minerals.
By James R. Boyle1 and William H. McLemore2

The value of Georgia's nonfuel mineral production in 1978 and 1979 was $588.1 million and $698.7 million, respectively. Georgia led the Nation in the production of fuller's earth, kaolin, and dimension stone; was second in kyanite and iron oxide pig-

ments; third in bauxite and feldspar; fourth in barite and byproduct gypsum; and fifth in common clays and mica. With the exception of bauxite, kyanite, and sand and gravel, all commodities registered an increase in unit value in 1978.

Tre~ds and Developments.-Construc tion continued on a new bulk storage warehouse and material handling system at the Georgia Port Authority's Brunswick facility. When the system is completed in 1980, annual throughput capabilities will be 125,000 tons. Market studies indicated that bulk tonnage of materials such as salt cake,

fuller's earth, potash, fertilizers, solar salt, and nitrates will double within 15 years. Most foreign exports of kaolin pass through the Georgia Port Authority's Savannah facility, which also handles significant tonnages of bauxite, kyanite, and zircon sand.
According to published records, Georgia has produced almost $6 billion worth of

minerals. To emphasize the importance of minerals to the State, the Cartersville Tourism and Industry Council opened a minerals and mining museum in 1979 that illustrates the mineral heritage of the Bartow County area and the rest of Georgia, while emphasizing the economic aspects of mineral production in Georgia. The museum is of interest to all ages, and many of the exhibits are participatory in nature.
Legislation and Government Programs.-Work continued at the Federal Bureau of Mines Engineering Laboratory in Boulder City, Nev., on the development of an economically viable process for extracting alumina from kaolin; Thiele Kaolin Co. supplied the kaolin from a mine in Washington County. During the first quarter of 1978, a 10-day miniplant test run was conducted using the hydrochloric acid (HCI) leach process with gas sparging crystallization.
A mineral appraisal team from the Federal Bureau of Mines' Eastern Field Operations Center (EFOC) completed a field survey in the proposed Ellicot Rock Wilder-

ness Area, which includes portions of Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, and in the proposed Cohutta Wilderness Area, Georgia. Reports for the Cohutta Area and the Big Frog Wilderness Study Area, which includes portions of Tennessee and Georgia, were completed and submitted for publication.
EFOC personnel inventoried active and abandoned mine locations in the State for updating the Bureau's Mineral Industry Location System, a computerized data storage and retrieval system that contains mine locations and other pertinent data for the Nation's mineral industry.
In a report prepared for the Bureau, Zellars-Williams, Inc., evaluated the phosphate resources in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Georgia's phosphate resources are located in the Savannah area and south-central Georgia. The study identified resources of 15.1 billion tons of in-place ore, with a weighted average P.O, content of8.6%.
During the biennium, work continued on Georgia's Coastal Zone Management Pro-

gram, and the State received a $553,436 grant to complete program development. A legal analysis and authorities paper was submitted to the Office of Coastal Zone Management in December 1978. However, in 1979, the Governor notified the U .S. Department of Commerce that the incentives offered for participation in the program were basically insufficient, and the State was dropping out of the program. The State is expected to develop and administer its own coastal management program to fit the State's needs.
In similar action, the Governor notified the U.S. Department of Interior's Office of Surface Mining that Georgia does not plan to develop a program consistent with the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. It was felt that the small number of coal mines in the State did not justify participation by the State in the program.
A 1979 study, commissioned by the Georgia Institute of Technology, concluded that the imposition of severance taxes on Georgia's mineral producers would be inappropriate because (1) revenues generated by severance taxes would be more than offset by a reduction in sales, (2) for those Georgia minerals sold locally, severance taxes would be passed on directly as a regressive tax, and (3) many of the marginal mineral reserves in Georgia would not be mined, with resulting waste of resources.
The State legislature passed a bill to provide for permitting and inspection of dams constructed in the State. The legislation, which included settling ponds and impoundments constructed for mineral op-

era:tions, became effective July 1, 1978, and requires that dam construction, modification, and inspection be the responsibility of the Environmental Protection Division, Georgia Department of Natural Resources. The law requires certification by both a geologist and an engineer, stating that the dam design is safe and adequate to meet State standards.
The Georgia Division of Geology and Water Resources was reorganized as part of an economy move in the Department of Natural Resources. The Division was reassigned to a branch-level function, renamed the Georgia Geologic Survey, and placed under the Environmental Protection Division.
The Georgia Geologic Survey continued basic mapping, ground water investigations, airborne geophysical surveys, and environmental atlas work initiated in previous years. The Survey assisted the mineral industry in Georgia by evaluating (1) construction materials of the Georgia Coastal Plain, (2) geology and mineral resources of the mafic and ultramafic rocks of Georgia, (3) uranium and thorium in selected sands of coastal Georgia, and (4) uranium in graphitic phyllites and other selected rocks in the Georgia Piedmont and Blue Ridge.
At yearend, all but four of the 1,016 7-112minute quadrangles that cover the State had been published, and the remaining four were completed in single-copy, advance sheet format.
During the period, the Georgia Institute of Technology was designated by the Secretary of the Interior as a State Mining and Mineral Resources and Research Institute pursuant to Title III of Public Law 95-87.

REVIEW BY NONFUEL MINERAL COMMODITIES

NONMETALS
Nonmetals accounted for nearly all of the State's total mineral production value in 1978 and 1979. The principal nonmetals produced, in descending order of value, were clays, crushed stone, cement, dimension stone, and sand and gravel.
Barite.-Georgia ranked fourth nationally in the production of primary barite. Production in 1978 decreased, while value rose. Production in 1979 remained at about the same level as that of 1978. Barite production was limited to the Cartersville district in Bartow County in the northwestern part of the State. Although 23 companies have produced barite from the district,

only two, New Riverside Ochre Co. and Paga Mining Co., are presently active. The barite concentrates were used in the manufacture of chemicals, as fillers and extenders in paint and rubber products, as a weighting material in drilling muds, and in glassmaking, flux, and heavy products. In 1978, New Riverside Ochre Co. and Paga Mining Co. conducted a drilling program for barite on jointly owned land in the Cartersville district; significant barite reserves reportedly were proven.
Paga Mining Co. maintained a 35-acre park in an abandoned barite mining area in the historic Cartersville District in northwest Georgia. Numerous trails allow access to geologic exposures that relate to barite

MINERAlS YEARBOOK, .1978-79

mineralization and the major rock types in the area. Also areas can be reached that illustrate three distinct periods of mining. Pick, shovel, and wheelbarrow; steam shovel; and hydraulic mining. All exposures and mining areas are identified. A large geologic map with an explanatory text describing the stratigraphy and structure of the area is located at a scenic point. This park was approved by the Georgia Mined Land Reclamation Branch.
Cement.-Three companies, Medusa Cement Co., Marquette Cement Manufacturing Co., and Martin Marietta Corp., produced portland and masonry cement from plants located in Houston, Polk, and Fulton Counties, respectively.
End use of portland cement in 1978 was ready-mix concrete (49.1%), concrete products (16.5%), and highway contractors (15.3%); the balance was for other uses. The majority of shipments were made by truck.
Masonry cement production and value increased in 1978, then decreased slightly in 1979. Masonry cement constitutes a small fraction of total production.
Raw materials used were mainly cement rock, limestone, and clay, with smaller amounts of shale, sandstone, sand, iron ore, and gypsum.
The Department of Energy's Economic Regulatory Administration issued orders to the Atlanta cement facility of Martin Marietta Corp. prohibiting the use of oil and natural gas as a primary fuel. When the conversion is completed, the company will use an estimated 84,000 tons of coal per year.
Clays.-Georgia continued to lead the Nation in the production of clay. Total clay production and value increased in 1978; in 1979, production decreased while value increased. Clays mined in the State, in order of decreasing value, were kaolin, fuller's earth, and common clay.
Georgia led the Nation in production of kaolin. The State's industry in 1978 was composed of 21 companies operating 56 mines along the Fall Line kaolin belt in east-central Georgia. Production in 1978 totaled 5.5 million tons, valued at $325.3 million; in 1979, production was 6.1 million tons, valued at $404.2 million. Major uses for premium-grade kaolin were paper coating and filler applications. Most of the water-washed kaolin producers increased capacity in 1979 and plan further expansion in the future.
Many of the kaolin producers announced

plans to expand their capacity over the next few years. Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals Corp. plans to spend over $20 million to upgrade and expand facilities at Mcintyre and add 100,000 tons per year to their capacity. The project is scheduled for completion early in 1981. Freeport Kaolin Corp. plans to spend $22 million to increase production by 100,000 tons per year at Gordon. Anglo-American Clays Corp. was developing a calcined kaolin product that is expected to increase production by 30,000 tons per year. The high brightness, low abrasion calcined clays produced are used in paper filling and coating. Nord Kaolin Co. announced a second-stage expansion at its Jeffersonville operation. The project, to take 4 years, includes installation of a magnetic separator, a new spray dryer, and an expanded crude clay blending and processing system. Capacity is expected to increase to 300,000 tons per year by the end of 1980.
The largest bagged shipment of kaolin in history was exported by Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals Corp. Approximately 17,000 metric tons of kaolin was shipped from Engelhard's central Georgia mining operation to Savannah, Ga. The kaolin was destined for Japan, where it was used in manufacturing a premium-grade paper stock.
Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals Corp. completed a $9 million expansion for making fluidized-bed cracking catalysts at the Attapulgus, Ga., facility. Kaolin mined in Mcintyre, Ga., is fractionated, and special grades are sent for catalyst processing 200 miles away at the Attapulgus catalyst plant. The new expansion increased the plant capacity to 100 to 150 tons per day, depending on the type of catalyst produced.
Georgia ranked first in the Nation in the production of fuller's earth. In 1978, seven companies in Decatur, Houston, Jefferson, and Thomas Counties produced a total of 618,805 tons, valued at $27.1 million; production and value increased slightly in 1979 over that of 1978.
Anschutz Minerals Corp., a subsidiary of the Denver-based Anschutz Corp., purchased a fuller's earth operation near Ochlocknee in Thomas County in the southwestern fuller's earth district. The plant, previously operated by Cherokee Industries and later by Control Packaging, Inc., was expanded to a 100,000-ton-per-year capacity.
Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals Corp. increased capacity at its Attapulgus fuller's

earth plant. Output was doubled, and further expansions were underway in late 1979. Fuller's earth products have been finding increasing application in liquid fertilizers, paints, and oil well drilling muds.
Common clay and shale, used in brick, cement, and tile, was produced by 12 companies operating 19 pits in 10 counties. Production in 1978 increased 16.9% to 2.3 million tons, with value increasing 56.0% to $6.2 million. In 1979, production decreased

to 1.6 million tons valued at $4.7 million. Atlanta Brick and Tile Co., a subsidiary of
the Jenkins Brick Co., announced plans for a $2 million expansion in the Atlanta area. Atlanta Brick and Tile will construct a new tunnel kiln that will double brick capacity and raise employment to 130.
Feldspar.-Georgia ranked third nationally in the production of feldspar. Highpotash feldspar was mined from weathered pegmatite at the Monticello mine in Jasper

County by The Feldspar Corp. Production in 1978 increased 8.3%, while value increased 41.7%; 1979 production and value increased 7.3% and 12.8%, respectively, over that of 1978.
In 1979, The Feldspar Corp. opened a new mine in Greene County. Ore is shipped by truck to the processing plant at Monticello. The plant is expected to be moved to the new mine in the early 1980's.
Gypsum.-Calcined gypsum and gypsum board products were produced by three firms from raw materials mined in other states. National Gypsum Co. and the Flintkote Co. in Chatham County, and the Gypsum Div. of Georgia-Pacific Corp. in Glynn County produced wallboard, cement retarder, fillers, and agricultural sand additives. American Cyanamid Co. recovered gypsum as a byproduct in a titanium plant in Savannah.
Kyanite-Mullite.-Geotgia ranked second nationally in the production of kyanite. C-E Minerals, Inc., a division of Combustion Engineering, Inc., operated a surface mining operation and a flotation plant at Graves Mountain in Lincoln County. Production increased in 1978 and 1979.
Synthetic mullite, a product of sintering a mixture of aluminous and siliceous materials and aluminum silicate refractory grogs, was produced by Mulcoa Div. of C-E Minerals, Inc., in Sumter County.
Lime.-Although Georgia has abundant resources of high-quality limestone, none has been developed. Georgia's 1978 lime requirements were imported from surrounding States; consumption in 1978 increased slightly.
Mica.-Franklin Mineral Products Co., Inc., mined flake mica from an open pit

mine in Hart County. Both production and value decreased in 1978 and again in 1979. The mica is ground for use as an extender and filler in various products including paint, wall paper, and rubber products.
Peat.-Two companies in Miller and Screven Counties produced peat for use as a potting medium and general soil conditioner. Production and value increased in 1978, and maintained the same level in 1979.
Perlite.-Armstrong Cork Co. expanded perlite at a plant near Macon in Bibb County. The product was used in acoustical tile, pipe insulation, and other lightweight insulating material. Raw material was obtained from mines in the Western United States.
Sand and Gravei.-Sand and gravel was produced in 1978 by 45 companies, operating 48 mines in 33 counties; industry structure was the same in 1979. Leading counties were Chatham, Crawford, Talbot, and Taylor. Although production increased, a lower unit value of $2.33 in 1978 compared with $2.57 in 1977, resulted in a lower total value. In 1979, unit value increased to $2.63 while production increased only slightly. Shipments were primarily by truck.
Stone.-Crushed stone production in 1978 increased for the fourth straight year but decreased slightly in 1979. Georgia ranked first in the production of dimension stone, which also had a slight increase in unit value. Dimension stone produced included granite, marble, and sandstone. Crushed stone produced included limestone, granite, marble, sandstone, and slate. In 1978, 51 companies produced crushed and/or dimension stone at 99 quarries; in 19'/9, 64 companies produced from 112 quarries. Although most dimension stone quarries produced

relatively small tonnage, 21 crushed stone quarries each produced in excess of 900,000 tons of stone per year. Of the total stone tonnage, 91% was produced by eight companies.
Crushed stone was produced at 64 quarries in 1978 and 67 quarries in 1979. Leading producers were Vulcan Materials Co., Martin Marietta Aggregates, and Ivy Corp. Shipments were mainly by truck, followed by railroad, waterway, and other. Crushed stone was used mainly for dense road base, concrete and bituminous aggregate, railroad ballast, and cement manufacture.
Dimension stone was produced at 37 quarries in 1978 and 46 quarries in 1979 for rough monumental stone, dressed monumental stone, and rough blocks. The State's dimension granite industry was centered in Elbert C'-0unty, northeast of Atlanta, while the dimension marble and sandstone industries were located in Pickens County, north of Atlanta.
Martin Marietta Aggregates completed an $8.5 million expansion program at its Macon, Ga., crushed stone plant. Capacity of the operation increased from 1,000 to more than 1,500 tons per hour. Principal elements of the expansion were a $3.1 million gyratory crusher, a $2.4 million expansion of stone-sizing facilities, a $1.5 million improvement of rail and truckloading facilities, and a new $1.5 million electric shovel.
Rosario Resources, Inc., sold its wholly owned subsidiary, Dixie Lime and Stone Co., to Florida Rock Industries, Inc. Three active crushed stone quarries and one inactive quarry in Georgia, and one dolomite quarry in Florida were included for a reported $12 million.
The Georgia Marble Co., a subsidiary of

Jim Walters Corp., and the Nation's largest producer of crushed marble, began work to divert the East Branch of Long Swamp Creek at the company's New York Mine at Marble Hill, Ga. The relocation of the creek will allow development of a new portal and shorter mileage distance into the lower levels of the New York Mine. Output is used for extender and filler applications.
The Tate Div. of the Georgia Marble Co. opened a new dimension marble quarry at the southern end of the Tate quarry complex. The general area in Pickens County has been the scene of dimension marble quarrying since the 1840's. The new quarry will produce Cherokee-type marble, the principal variety of marble quarried in the district.
The outlook for the crushed stone industry is cautious optimism; for large operations there is sufficient work to run through 1980, while small operators do not have the advantage of long-term contracts. The expansion of Hartsfield International Airport near Atlanta, improvements to the Interstate system, and subway construction in the Atlanta area indicate continued demand for crushed stone.
Talc.-The Southern Talc Co. produced talc from two underground mines in the Fort Mountain area of Murray County. The crude talc was trucked to the Chatsworth mill where it was ground for use in ceramics, insecticides, roofing, rubber, and various other products.
METALS
Bauxite.-Georgia was one of three bauxite-producing States in the Nation. Production decreased in 1978 and 1979. Bauxite was used in refractories and aluminum-based chemicals.

Gold.-With the increase in the price of gold in 1979, panning and dredging of stream gravels increased. Several major gold producers initiated exploration programs in the State.
Iron Ore.-There was no reported production of iron ore in 1978 or 1979. Depletion of known shallow reserves and high reclamation costs were given as reasons for cessation of operations in 1977.
Iron Oxide Pigments.-Georgia was one of four States with crude iron oxide pigment production and ranked second nationally. Ochre and umber production by the New

Riverside Ochre Co. was produced from surface mined material in Bartow County.
Titanium-Zirconium.-Heavy minerals mined and concentrated in Florida were shipped to the Folkston plant, owned by Humphrey's Mining Co., for ilmenite and zircon recovery. The Folkston plant has used Florida concentrate since 1978, when the Georgia deposits were depleted.
