The first barite grinding and packaging plant in Muş was established by EMAŞ in 1978, and the plant, which changed ownership a few times then incorporated into Al Mining Barite Plastics Industry and Trading Inc. Co. in 2007. The plant was eventually established with the new generation grinding technology, was put into operation at the end of 2014.
The barite production and sales activities in our new barite enrichment, grinding and packaging facility, which is located at 23. km of the Muş-Bitlis highway, continue under the Al Mining brand.
Touvenant ore barite extracted from the mines of Bitlis and Muş was brought to this facility on the Böğürdelen village of Hasköy District; The products are passed through enrichment, grinding and packaging processes and the products finally produced are mostly exported.
The major quantity our production is exported to Iraq, due to the terrestrial logistics and location of the plant. Moreover, Al Mining supplied barite to Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO) for petroleum drilling within Turkey.
