Abstract A brief mineralogical and petrographic characterization of ultrabasic mainly olivine rocks of the hyperbasic massif of Mount Konchik (Kuznetsk Ala Tau), collectively called the Topchulskoe Deposit of olivinites is presented. The mean chemical compositions of the main kinds of the serocks are calculated on the basis of more than 300 tests. It is shown that their composition completely corresponds to the industrial requirements on high-magnesia silicate raw materials. It is established experimentally that not only fresh olivinites and dunites but also their serpentinous variants, widely developed in the massif, can be used as a refractory magnesia material after an appropriate heat treatment. General information on some application domains for olivine raw materials in ferrous metallurgy and other industries is presented.
