Thailand mining production mix by mineral
Limestone ~55% / Lignite ~20%
Thailand's domestic mining mix is dominated by industrial minerals feeding cement and construction — limestone (~50-55% of physical tonnage), lignite coal (~18-22%), gypsum (~7-9%), salt rock (~4-5%), and feldspar / silica sand / dolomite making up most of the balance. Gold, fluorite, tin, tungsten, lead, and zinc are smaller in tonnage but higher in revenue per tonne. The DPIM annual mining yearbook publishes the full breakdown. The mix has been stable through 2020-2024 with limestone-cement feed steady on infrastructure pipeline demand.

What not to do with it
Values in percent of physical mining tonnage. Revenue-weighted mix tilts toward gold, tungsten, and lignite due to higher per-tonne realisations.
