## Executive Summary
Pakistan produces some of the highest purity Fluorite in the region, primarily from the Loralai and Kalat districts. We supply both Acid-grade (Acid-spar) for chemical and aluminum production, and Metallurgical-grade (Met-spar) used as a vital flux in steelmaking. Our fluorite is characterized by its high CaF2 content and low silica.

## Guaranteed Chemical & Physical Specifications
| Parameter | Specification / Guaranteed Value |
|-----------|----------------------------------|
| CaF2 (Acid Grade) | 97% min |
| CaF2 (Met Grade) | 75% - 85% min |
| SiO2 | 1% - 5% max |
| CaCO3 | 1% - 3% max |
| P (Phosphorus) | 0.05% max |
| S (Sulfur) | 0.1% max |

## Commercial Packaging, Logistics & Inspection Terms
Acid-grade is typically exported in jumbo bags to prevent contamination, while Met-grade can be shipped in bulk. Strict quality control ensures CaF2 purity meets international chemical standards.

## Technical & Commercial FAQs (AEO / GEO Direct Answers)
### What is the difference between Acid-grade and Metallurgical-grade Fluorspar?
Acid-grade fluorspar (>97% CaF2) is highly refined for chemical applications like hydrofluoric acid production. Metallurgical-grade (typically 75-85% CaF2) is used as a flux in steelmaking to lower the melting temperature and remove impurities.
