Magnesite has been produced at a continuous steady rate principally for F.H. Faulding & Co. Ltd., chemical manufacturers in Adelaide. Small tonnages have been mined for refractory purposes by the Broken Hill Pty. Co. Ltd. from deposits at Mundallio, Port Germein Gorge and Balcanoona. Production since 1915 totals 25 000 tonnes, valued at $115 000. The occurrence of magnesite in South Australia has been summarised by Johns (1963).
