Tuna Mining
Tuna Mining integrates quarry management, beneficiation, and port-side logistics to deliver spec-driven industrial minerals with consistent chemistry and granulometry.
Purpose and Positioning
Why this brand exists
Tuna Mining was established to give global manufacturers a single accountable partner for Mediterranean and regional mineral supply. The brand consolidates geology, processing, and logistics into one disciplined workflow that reduces variability and de-risks long-term contracts.
What we do
We source and process industrial minerals against target chemistry and particle-size distributions, supervise loadouts at mine and port, and document each step with batch-linked COAs. Our team coordinates route planning, moisture management, and packaging to protect specification integrity until delivery.
What We Deliver
Core mineral portfolio
Feldspar for ceramics and glass
Sodium and potassium feldspar with controlled Fe2O3 limits, optimized for tile and sanitaryware bodies or glass batches.
Quartz and silica products
High SiO2 grades for foundry and engineered stone inputs, available in calibrated sands and milled formats.
Dolomite and calcite
Stable CaO and MgO profiles for fluxing, fillers, and environmental applications, offered in lump, crushed, or ground forms.
Kaolin, ball clay, and bentonite
Plasticity and rheology tuned for casting slips, glazes, drilling muds, and sealing applications.
Specialty and by-request materials
Perlite, pumice, bauxite alternatives, and tailored aggregates subject to deposit availability and qualification.
Formats and packaging
Bulk and containerized options
Break-bulk vessel shipments, tipper truck or rail to port, and containerized loads where moisture and contamination control are critical.
Bagging and protection
1–1.25 t FIBCs, 25 kg valve bags, palletized and stretch-wrapped, with inner liners on request to mitigate humidity.
Moisture and handling controls
Stockpile management, covered loading, and sampling protocols designed to keep free moisture within contract tolerances.
Operating Model
Specification alignment
Technical targets
We capture target oxides, loss on ignition, PSD curves D10–D50–D90, whiteness, and abrasion or alkali limits, then map deposits and processing routes to meet them.
Qualification pathway
Lab-scale samples, pilot runs if required, and industrial trials with feedback loops to lock final specs and QC frequencies.
Supplier and process control
Mine and plant oversight
Selective mining, blending plans, screening, crushing, milling, magnetic separation where needed, and real-time checks to stabilize output.
Quality assurance
Batch COAs from accredited labs, retained samples, and documented corrective actions when deviations occur.
Compliance and documentation
Standards and safety
HSE programs aligned with local law. SDS and REACH where applicable. Radiation and heavy-metal screenings on request.
Trade documents
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and inspection certificates. Optional draft survey and hatch-sealing records for vessels.
Logistics architecture
Route design
EXW, FOB, CFR, or CIF. Port selection based on berth availability, draft limits, and historical weather windows.
Risk management
Free-time monitoring, humidity mitigation, and claim prevention through loading photos, seals, and chain-of-custody evidence.
Markets and Applications
Ceramics and glass
Body formulations, frits, and glazes requiring stable alkali content and low iron.
Foundry and metallurgy
Refractory and molding applications where grain shape and thermal stability matter.
Engineered materials and fillers
Composites, paints, plastics, and sealants requiring brightness, purity, and controlled PSD.
