In 2022, phosphate rock ore was mined by five companies at nine mines in . four States and processed into an estimated 21 million tons of marketable product, valued at $1.9 billion, free on board (f.o.b.) mine. Florida and North Carolina accounted for more than 75% of total domestic output; the remainder was produced in Idaho and Utah.Morocco remains the largest exporter of phosphate. However, the high cost of mining and threats of war has derailed the production of phosphate in the country. Chin is a distant second with 5% of the total reserves, translating to approximately 3.1 billion tons. However, China remains the largest producer of phosphate at 138 million metric tons.Countries With the Largest Phosphate Reserves WorldAtlas

following describes the general mining and processing steps for both then followed by specific steps for each. 8.1.1 Phosphate Rock Mining The primary method of mining and exploration of phosphate rock is surface mining. Surface mining consists of clearing the site of brush, initial removal of topsoil and overburden, ore removal, and Owing to the continuous increase in mining depth, Yichang phosphorite mines in China have entered the field of deep mining. The frequency of rockburst disasters is increasing. In situ experience indicates that the practice of spraying water onto a working face after blasting is an effective method of rockburst prevention.

The shelf sediments of the South African and Namibian phosphorite province contain a large variety of phosphorites (Birch 1980). Diagenetic phosphorite, which originated by phosphatization of carbonate rocks and biogenic debris, forms a 0.5 m thick pavement across large parts of the shelf off the southern tip of Africa (Fig. 5.12).
