Properties, uses and specifications, world and Australian consumption, of industrial grades of talc are summarised. In the past the principal demand in Australia has been for high quality cosmetic grade talc but a market survey indicates that national consumer trends have changed in recent times and previously unexploited deposits may now have some potential for production. Talc deposits in South Australia are reviewed in terms of geological setting and physical properties of the talc. Systematic laboratory evaluation of representative samples, in terms of consumer specifications, is recommended.
