Reserve:

Based on the Geological studies and field exploration trenching and surveying the total proven and probable reserve of Robaei zeolites is over 5 million tones

Quality:

Based on the chemical analysis  information, the overall purity and quality of Robaei mine zeolites can be summarized as follows:

1. Mineralogical Composition:
   1. The zeolites from the Robaei mine are primarily composed of clinoptilolite, which is one of the most desirable zeolite minerals due to its high cation-exchange capacity (CEC) and adsorption properties.
   2. Accessory minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and clay are present as impurities.
2. Chemical Composition:
   1. The chemical analysis indicates that the zeolites are rich in silica (SiO₂) and alumina (Al₂O₃), with minor amounts of oxides such as Fe₂O₃, CaO, K₂O, and Na₂O.
   2. High Si/Al ratios suggest the zeolites are suitable for applications requiring thermal stability and high adsorption capabilities.
3. Purity:
   1. The processed zeolites achieve an 80% recovery rate, indicating efficient separation of impurities like clay and quartz during beneficiation.
   2. The final product is expected to meet industrial standards for natural zeolites, with a purity exceeding 85-90% clinoptilolite content after processing.
4. Quality Indicators:
   1. High adsorption and ion-exchange capacities make Robaei zeolites suitable for various industries, such as water treatment, agriculture, and construction.
   2. The low presence of heavy metals or undesirable compounds enhances the suitability for environmental and agricultural applications.
