Barite commonly occurs in lead-zinc veins in limestones, in hot spring deposits, and with hematite ore. It is often associated with the minerals anglesite and celestine. It has also been identified in meteorites.
Barite has been found at locations in Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, India, Greece, Iran, Ireland, Liberia, Morocco, Peru, Romania (Baia Sprie), Turkey, South Africa, Thailand, UK and USA.
The process flowchart for barite processing starts with the mining of barite and possibly the transpiration of raw barite from other mines to thefactory site to supplement local production. This is followed by physical removal of impurities, primary crushing, secondary crushing, jigging, milling and bagging. The process model incorporates scrappers, primary crushers to reduce the big boulders to pebble size.
The secondary crusher reduces the minerals to smaller sizes before the gravitational separation at the jig. The jig comprises a mesh of known sizes which is vibrated at regular intervals by a system of electric motors and transported to the sieve by conveyor belts. The jigging separates the impurity materials from the denser barites. Thejigged barite is sent to the mill.

Crushing is the first stage in the raw material size reduction in barite production process. It prepares the barite materials for further grinding or for feeding directly to the classification or further processing stages.
