MINERAL PRODUCTION IN GEORGIA
The total estimated value of mineral products mined in Georgia in 1997 was $1.77 billion which is a 20% increase over the 1990 figure of $1.477 billion. Nationally, Georgia ranks 1st in clay production and 4th in value of all non-fuel mineral commodities produced. This accounts for 4.5% of the U.S. non-fuel production. The mining industry contributes substantially to the overall economy of the State. Nearly all of the minerals currently produced in Georgia are nonmetallic (or industrial) and production of high grade kaolin and crushed stone account for about 59% and 24% of the State's mineral income respectively. These are followed by production of dimension granite, marble, sand and gravel and 10 other products. The distributions of these commodities in Georgia is illustrated on the Mineral Resource Map of Georgia in a pocket inside the back cover.

MINING LAWS AND CONTROLS
State Agencies
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Environmental Protection Division (EPD) includes branches with regulatory responsibilities or information sources of particular relevance to mining:
The Land Protection Branch administers the Surface Mining Act. This Act sets standards for permit application, bonding levels, and site reclamation for the surface mining of all commodities except coal and dimension stone. To review files of active mine sites or request additional information, contact:
Georgia DNRIEPDILand Protection Suite 100 - Municipal Solid Waste I Surface Mining Unit 4244 International Parkway Atlanta, GA 30354-3902
Jeff Cown, Program Manager I I Mike Almasi, Environmental Specialist I Jim Raymond, Geologist (404) 362-2696
Through the Water Well Standards Act and the Oil and Gas and Deep Drilling Act, the Georgia Geologic Survey (GGS) regulates a broad range of drilling activities, including: domestic water wells, irrigation wells, industrial wells, geologic and engineering test borings, monitoring wells, dewatering wells, seismic shot holes and oil and gas exploration wells. Published GGS geologic and hydrogeologic texts, US Geological .Survey (USGS) topographic maps, and blackline prints of US Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory maps may be purchased from our Map and Publication Sales Office. The GGS Technical Files include unpublished geologic reports and out-of-print items. The GGS also maintains a repository of well cuttings and cores. Request data searches and coordinate onsite reviews with the Information Geologist.

Monazite (rare earth phosphate) used for its thorium content, contains other rare useful metals. Zircon (zirconium silicate) used for refractories, molding sand.
IRON ORE Brown iron ores (limonite, geothite) occur throughout t he State but are mined in Bartow and Polk Counties (Paleozoic sediments); also in Dooly and Pulaski Counties and in Marion, Quitman, Webster, and Stewart Counties (Coastal Plain ). Red fossil iron ore (red hematite) contains fossil sea shells a nd occurs in Dade, Walker, Catoosa, and Chattooga Counties (Paleozoic sediments) . Usc: ores of iron, red pigment.
KA O LI N (sedimen tary, hydrous aluminum silicate) occurs primarily in those coun t ies in t he extreme northern Coastal Plain and is mined almost entirely within t-he Coastal P lain in Twiggs, Wilkinson, Washington, McDuffie, Richmond, and Glascock Counties. Also, Georgia is the leading producer in the United St.ates. (Primary kaolin is found in the crystalline rock area. ) Usc: soft kaolin for coating and filler for high-grade white paper, filler for paints and plastics, filler in rubber, base for white porcelain ware; hard refractory kaolin for fire brick, mortar, cement. Kaolin may be used for the manufacture of aluminum.
KYANITE (an aluminum silicate) is mined at Graves Mountain in Lincoln County and was mined in H.abersham County; also kn own to occur in Rabun, D awson, Pickens, Cherokee, and Upson Counties. Usc: refractories and ot her ceramic products, glass tank blocks, gemstones.
LIMESTO NE (calcium carbonate) occurs in a hard form in the Paleozoic sedimentary area and in a soft to medium-hard form in the Coastal Plain. Use: aggregate for concrete and highway construction, portland cement, agricultural lime.

MANG ANESE ORES (pyrolusite, psilomelane, etc.) occur in the Paleozoic sedimentary a nd crystalline rock areas and are mined in the Car tersville district. Usc: manganese st.eel, ferroalloys, dry cell batteries, lavender tint for glass; manufacture of chlorine, oxygen, etc.
MARBLE (recrystallized calcium carbonate) quarried in Pickens and Gilmer Counties. The beau t,y and variety of Georgia ma rbl e is well known. Usc: dimension stone for buildings, monumen ts, interior decora tions, statuary, novelt ies; crushed stone for terrazzo, stucco, li me, and a mineral fill er.
MUSCOVITE MICA (hydrated potassium aluminum silicate) is the colorless or rransparent commercial variety of mica. In small flakes it is found in every coun ty of the crystalline rock area. Sheet mica has been mined or prospected in 31 counties or this region. In recent years most or our sheet mica has been produced from U pson, Lamar, Monroe, Cherokee, Pickens, Lumpkin, Union, Rabun, Hart, and Elbert Counties. Mica for grinding of smaller size is mined in Hart Coun ty. Use: sheet mica for electrical uses; ground mica for roofing materials, joint cement, well drilling compounds, rubber, paint, wa llpaper.
OCHER [a very fine powdery variety of hematite fred} or limo-
nite (yellow)I mined east of Cartersville near the Etowah River
in the Paleozoic sedimentary area. Use: pigment for paints and mortars, fi ller in linoleum.
PHOS PHATE (a sedimentary rock containing calcium phosphate) occurs in Miocene sands as a wide belt along the coast of Georgia, particularly in Chatham, Lowndes, Lanier, Echols, Berrien, and Clinch Counties. Usc: fertilizers; phosphoric chemicals for detergents, silk industry, baking powder, water softeners, animal food supplement; pharmaceu ticals ; ceramics; den tal cemen ts; fireproofing; sugar refining; fermen tation; incendiary bombs; smoke screens.
