Hydromica ñlay of the Ivinskoe deposit was investigated with a view toward possible use in the manufacture of ceramic cladding. As a flux, finely ground pegmatite tailings from the Chupinskii Grinding and Enrichment Plant were added as flux to the clay. Mineralogical, chemical, and granulometric analyses of the clay and tailings were performed. Aspects of the mineral composition of the tailings and the clay were studied using as a base the laboratory equipment of the Analytical Center of the Institute of Geology at the Federal Research Center ‘KarRC RAS.’ Developmental samples of ceramic tiles were obtained and an assessment was made of the physicomechanical properties of the manufactured items. The developed ceramic can be used for the cladding of walls and furnaces. The use of local hydromica clay and pegmatite dedusting tailings increases the mechanical bending strength and thermal stability of ceramic cladding and decreases the thermal conductivity compared to samples containing clay, kaolin, feldspar, and lime.
