Several locations in Kosovo contain magnesium carbonate (MgCO 3), such as Strezovce and Goleš. The chemical structure of these minerals is: MgO: 44.49%; SiO 2: 2.5 to 6%; CaO: 0.9 to 5%; Prior to 1990, on average, annual production was 110,000 tons of magnesite, 22,000 tons of sintered magnesia and 10,000 tons of caustic calcined magnesia.
The humidity ranges between 38 and 48%, the ash percentage between 9.84 and 21.32%, and sulfur content between 0.64 and 1.51%.
