In Ukraine, quartzites, quartzite-like sandstones, and quartz sand, which are discovered and developed in geological formations of different ages, are used for the production of refractories (dinas, mullite, mortar, ferroalloys, and crystalline silicon).
The State Balance of Mineral Resources of Ukraine records 5 quartzite deposits, from which the Vasylkivske, Tovkachivske and Ovrutske deposits are being developed, and 2 quartzite-like sandstone deposits, from which the Banytske deposit is being developed.
The urgent task is to accelerate the discovery and exploration of high-quality quartzite deposits.
Deposits of quartz sand for refractories are localized in the Neogene sediments of the Donetsk folded region (Krasnohorivske, Riznykovske deposits).
-search and evaluation and exploration works on quartzites for the needs of ferrous metallurgy within the Donetsk basin and high-quality quartzites for the needs of non-ferrous metallurgy - within the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield and the Dnieper-Donetsk Depression;
-search and evaluation and exploration works on quartz sands within the promising areas of the Donetsk Folded Region, the Dnieper-Donetsk Depression, the Volyn-Podilsky Plate and the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield.
