Feldspar reserves in Ukraine

On the territory of Ukraine, within the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield, feldspar rocks of the Archean-Proterozoic era are widely distributed.

Pegmatites of 33 localization fields tend to massifs of granites of various complexes, forming clusters of mainly vein bodies with an average thickness of 3-8 meters, often of a differentiated structure.

The block and pegmatite zones of such veins are of industrial interest as feldspar raw materials.

For many years, the mineral and raw material complex has not met the needs of Ukrainian industry in feldspar raw materials due to the import of about 300 thousand tons of feldspar concentrate per year.

To increase the mineral and raw material base of feldspar, it is planned to:

-conduct search, and evaluation and reconnaissance work in promising areas of the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield;

-introduce domestic technologies for enrichment of alkaline kaolins.
