In addition, barite is used in the production of cement and as a filler in plasterboard and paint putties. Mining and Metallurgy. In the mining and metallurgy sectors, barite powder finds applications in refining processes. It is used as a flux to remove impurities from ores, acting as a slag conditioner during the smelting process.

Total production of Arkansas barite concentrates is 9 million short tons (1939-1983 inclusive) – 8 million short tons from the Chamberlain Creek deposit alone valued at ~ 70 million dollars. Reserves of barite in Arkansas are estimated to be in the order of millions of tons, but further mining awaits barite's expanded use.

Most barite is produced using open pit mining techniques, and the barite ore then typically undergoes simple beneficiation methods to separate the mineral from the ore. Methods such as washing, jigging and tabling, which involve separating it in water or shaking it, are used to isolate the dense material.
