This variant of Kangite ore is especially prized by Minmatar engineers for use in large-scale construction projects. Deposits have been held in reserve until such a time as the Republic needed them.

Unlike regular Kangite ore, X-Grade is more stable and can be reprocessed without specialized equipment into Tritanium and Pyerite, as well as providing Crystalline Kangite, which is valuable to the Minmatar Republic.
