More about the operation
Sherwan mining & source geology

Sherwan talc occurs in a dolomite-hosted hydrothermal setting. The Khandakhu mine layout includes seven underground access tunnels within the same concession and talc-bearing geological system.

A shared geological source does not eliminate variation. The selected grade and prepared lot still need representative assessment.

Regional reading: USGS Sherwan study · 2025 geological research. These describe regional context, not product certification.

Hand sorting & traceability

Screening separates size fractions. Manual sorting separates visual selections and removes visibly unsuitable pieces; it does not establish purity or asbestos status.

Records connect tunnel production, prepared lots, stockpiles, samples and shipments. Discuss the applicable documentation for your order.

Buyer visits & operational reviews

Visits can cover mine access, sorting, stockpiles, sampling, laboratory work and export loading. Scope, permissions, operating conditions and safety supervision are agreed in advance.
