OUR PRODUCTS
The quality of our deposits give the Lydford Mining Company a distinct advantage in the marketplace. The particular geology of our material makes it unique in a number of ways:
Very high purity material
A high calcium carbonate content coupled with a low trace element presence
Low levels of mercury, lead, iron, fluorine and cadmium
The unique, natural shape of the particles in the mineral deposit make it process well
FOOD AND PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE CALCIUM CARBONATE
Our food grade calcium carbonate is exported to the United States & South America where it is used as a calcium additive in foods and granulated to form tablets.
Typical food grade calcium carbonate applications include:
Breakfast Cereal
Nutritional Bars
Baked Foods
Fortified Beverages
Cookies & Crackers
Soups & Sauces
Industrial Grade Calcium Carbonate
We export industrial grade calcium carbonate for use in flue gas desulphurization (FGD) applications. This export to the United States is applied to ensure stack gasses meet the strict emission standards.
We have a valuable relationship with large limestone manufacturing companies in the US to supply consistently a high quality product.
Ground Calcium Carbonate
Also known as GCC, this product is an essential ingredient in the microporous film used in diapers and some building films. Our product is mainly used in the CARICOM region for applications in paints and PVC pipes.
Screened Calcium Carbonate
Our screened calcium carbonate is used across the region as a nutrition supplement in the formulation of animal feed to achieve optimal health for farm animals.
