Calcium
Carbonate
One of the world’s most important industrial minerals: the white, versatile, non-toxic workhorse behind cement, paint, plastics, paper, glass, agriculture and dozens of other industries. Mined and processed in Ghana, graded to your spec.
A foundational mineral for modern industry.
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) is among the most abundant and commercially valuable minerals on Earth, occurring naturally in limestone, chalk and marble. From the buildings we live in and the roads we drive on, to the paper, paint, plastics, glass, pharmaceuticals and food on every shelf, it is a fundamental raw material. Its versatility, abundance, cost-effectiveness and environmentally friendly nature make it one of the highest-volume industrial minerals traded globally.

Common questions.
What’s the difference between GCC?
GCC (Ground Calcium Carbonate) is mechanically crushed from natural limestone or marble.
Can you produce food- or pharma-grade material?
Yes. Pharmaceutical and food-grade calcium carbonate is available on request, with documentation appropriate to those regulated markets.
What mesh sizes do you offer?
We supply across the typical industrial range. Specify your target mesh / particle size with your inquiry and we will confirm availability.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Both regional West African distribution and international export, FOB Tema or CIF terms.
