Industry Leaders
80+ years of delivering the highest quality talc.
Barretts Minerals began mining talc at Montana’s Smith-Dillon mine in 1943. With washing introduced in the same year and grinding in 1957, the plant became a pioneering talc processing facility. Today, we utilize state-of-the-art equipment to craft a final product surpassing customer specifications in brightness, chemical composition, particle size, and other attributes.
