In addition, Prince Minerals is the North American agent for the Australian mining group Talison Minerals for sales of Spodumene, primarily to the glass industry.

Minerals for the glass market are utilized to increase factory efficiencies, improve glass transmission, as a flux, chemical boost and as an oxidizer. In addition, several of our minerals are also used by the glass industry to impart a range of colors to container, float, specialty and fiberglass products.
