(Redirected from List of countries by magnesium production)

Magnesium, ready for war uses in February 1943. Production of this lightest of all metals, vitally needed in the United Nations' war effort, is increasing daily at Basic Magnesium's giant plant in the southern Nevada desert. A 24-hour production schedule results in the turning out of thousands of ingots ready for shipment to aircraft and tracer bullet manufacturers.

USGS summary[edit]

This is a list of countries by magnesium production in 2018 based on United States Geological Survey figures[1] and US capacity figures.

* indicates "Natural resources of COUNTRY or TERRITORY" links.

Magnesium production (thousand tonnes) by country
Country (or area) Magnesium production
(thousand tonnes)
 World 1,020 (est)
 China * 800
 Russia * 65
 United States 50 (est)
 Israel * 25
 Kazakhstan * 23
 Ukraine * 19
 Brazil * 15
 Turkey * 10
 South Korea * 10
 Iran * 5

Canada[edit]

In year 2000 Canada produced the second-most Mg mineral in the world, and by 2011 it produced none.[2] This may have been the result of the toxic sulfur emission SF6 problem, regulated by the Kyoto accord.[3] Many resources exist in south-eastern British Columbia.[4]

Mines[edit]

Smelters and refineries[edit]

Secondary producers[edit]

A non-exhaustive list of producers were in 2000:[3]

  1. Magnesium Products Ltd., Strathroy, Ontario
  2. Indalloy, Rexdale, Ontario
  3. Trimag, Haley Station, Ontario
  4. Dynacast, Pointe Claire, Quebec
  5. ITM, Quebec City

China[edit]

China accounts for 85% of Mg production.[7]
