See Industrial Minerals Produced and/or Used in Chile

The List of Industrial Minerals Produced and/or Used in Chile describes the entirety of related mining resources. The List contains a brief description of industrial minerals of relevance to Chile. It includes both minerals produced in Chile for the domestic and export markets and goods imported to meet local demand.

The List includes both products directly saleable after extraction as well as those requiring treatment and/or processing, usually vertically integrated into mining operations. It does not include byproducts of the metals mining industry or man-made industrial products not directly based on mining sources.

Products are listed in alphabetical order, based on the above criteria. In some cases, families of products are grouped under a single generic name, i.e., clays includes common, ball, and fire clays, plus kaolin and bentonite.

Descriptions include:

a)        Common product name. If a family of products, description of members follows the family name.
b)        The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HCDCS) goodscode.
c)        Whether item is produced domestically, exported, or imported.
d)        Cochilco group under which classed.
