Calcite is a major rock-forming mineral and the main component of limestone. It is mined through quarrying and underground mining. Some potential areas for calcite mining in Indonesia include western Sumatra, southern Java, and parts of northern Java. Reserves in these areas contain up to 10 million tons. Calcite prices in Indonesia average around Rp. 245-250/kg. It is used in cement production, soil neutralization, glass, paper, statues, buildings, animal feed, and paints. China is a major driver of global calcite demand, mainly for use in its paper and plastics industries.

8. China Drives Global Growth
for Calcium Carbonate
Demand
Asia is now the fastest growing
regional market for calcium
carbonate, mainly driven by the
expansion in the Chinese paper and
plastics sectors. (almost half of the
global demand).
