With the exception of slag and other manufactured aggregates most materials for aggregate production come from bedrock or unconsolidated deposits. The vast majority of materials used in the mineral aggregate industry are obtained from surface-mined stone quarries or from sand and gravel pits. How materials are extracted influences their quality.
Read MoreCrushed stone, one of the most accessible natural resources, is a major basic raw material used by construction, agriculture, and other industries that utilize complex chemical and metallurgical processes. Despite the low value of its basic products, the crushed stone industry is a major contributor to and an indicator of the economic well-being of the Nation.
