Comments on the geologic information

  • ; ILMN (65% TIO2) O+ ZRCN + LCXN + MINO RUTL AND KYN (+QRTZ); DEPOSIT OCCURS INA MEDIUM GRAINED, POORLY SORTED QUARTZ SANDSTONE PARTLY CONSOLIDATED. AVERAGE THICKNESS IS 7M. AVERAGE GRADE WAS ORIGINALLY 4-5% HM OF WHICH 80-85% WAS ILMN + LCXN AND 3% RUTL.
  • ; ANTS + LCXN + PRVK +- ILMN + MGNT; THE DEPOSIT OCCURS IN A LARGE ALKALINE PIPE (6 KM DIAMETER). IT IS A LATERITIC MANTLE RICH IN ANATASE (AFTER PEROVSKITE) AND APATITE. THE CONCENTRATION IS A RESULT OF THE REMOVAL OF WEATHERED PRODUCTS, PARTICULARLY DROPSIDE, FROM THE ORIGINAL PYROXENITE. AVERAGE DEPTH OF WEATHERING IS 60 M, MAX. IS 200 M. THERE ARE 5 MAJOR WEATHERING ZONES IN THE PROFILE, OF WHICH THE SECOND IS RICH IN ANATASE, AND THE THIRD RICH IN ANATASE AND APATITE (FIRST - ARGILLACEOUS STERILE CAPPING, FOURTH - APATITE ORE, FIFTH- PARTIALLY WEATHERED STERILE ROCK).

Comments on the production information

  • FORMERLY 90 000 MT/Y TOTAL HEAVY MINERALS. NONENONE 0.18% ZRCN IS SAND. SOURCE OF INFORMATION: UNPUBLISHED DATA.
  • PILOT SCALE PRODUCTION - 15 000 TPA ANATASE FROM ORE TAILINGS GENERATED BY FOSFERTIL'S PHOSPHATE MINING VENTURE. ANATASE CONCENTRATED CONTAIN 90% TIO2. PLANT UNDER CONSTRUCTION - 300 000 TPA ANATASE AT ARAXA (35 KM N). 500 000 TPA ANATASE CONCENTRATE.FROM A PILOT SCALE PLANT ONLY: (RF3) ASSUMES TWO YEARS AT ABOVE PRODUCTION RATES.

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • VERY APPROXIMATE: DERIVED BY DEDUCTING PRODUCTION CAPACITY X 16 YEARS FROM ANNOUNCED RESERVES.
  • REFERS TO TOTAL IDENTIFIED RESOURCES MINUS DEMONSTRATED RESERVES OF TIO2 IN ANATASE FOR WHOLE OF BRAZIL. PROBABLY PRIMARILY INCLUDES TAPIRA, SALITRE, CATALAO AND PATROCINIO DEPOSITS.HARBEN, P., 1984, TITANIUM MINERALS IN BRAZIL - PROGRESS AND POTENTIAL: INDUSTRIAL MINERALS, JAN. 1984.HERZ, N., 1976, TITANIUM DEPOSITS IN ALKALIC IGNEOUS ROCKS: USGS PROFESSIONAL PAPER 959-E, 6P.ADAMS, R., 1984, TITANIUM AND TITANIUM DIOXIDE, PUBLISHED BY FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS INFORMATION LTD, P. 26-27.GAZETA MERCANTIL, 1983, CVRD TO PRODUCE CONCENTRATES: PRESS CLIPPING FROM NEWSPAPER - GAZETA MERCANTIL 7.3.83.CRUZ, F.F., CHABAN, N., MACHADO, P.T. & J.E., TOWNEND, R., 1976, ASPECTS OF THE SUPERFICIAL PHOSPHORUS AND TITANIUM DEPOSITS OF THE TAPIRA CARBONATITE COMPLEX, MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL.

Comments on development

  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. (). DEVELOPMENT(NO); ASSESSMENT(ONLY LOWER GRDE MATERIAL LEFT.); DEPTH OF COVER (C6 AND C7) MAY EXTEND TO 6 M CONSISTING OF PLEISTOCENE SAND AND GRAVEL.
  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. ( PROCESSING; MARKETS). DEVELOPMENT(YES); ASSESSMENT(THERE IS A GROWING INTEREST FROM POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS FOR THE ANATASE BUT DEFINITE MARKETS HAVE NOT YET BEEN ESTABLISHED. DUPONT IS CONSIDERING BUILDING A 60 000 TPA CHLORIDE ROUT TIO2 PIGMENT PLANT IN MINAS GERAIS IN A JOINT VENTURE WITH CVRD AND HAS AGREED TO BUY 200 000 TPA ANATASE. IT IS POSSIBLE BRAZIL WILL BECOME A MAJOR EXPORTER OF ANATASE DURING 1990'S. (RF6)); TWO STATE OWNED COMPANIES HAVE MINERAL RIGHTS VIRTUALLY COVERING THE SAME AREA. THE PHOSPHOROUS PRODUCER FOSFERTIL MINES THE UNDERLYING APATITE AFTER STRIPPING OFF THE OVERLYING TI ORE AND STOCKPILING IT FOR LATER USE BY CVRD. APPATITE RESERVES - 740 MILLION TONS AT AVERAGE 8.3% P2O5. NIOBIUM RESERVES - 60 MILLION TONS AT AVERAGE 1.5% NB2O5. CONCENTRATIONS OF RARE EARTHS AND VERMICULARITE ARE ALSO KNOWN. PILOT PLANT WORK IS NOW COMPLETE. CVRD IS PRESENTLY CONSTRUCTING A 300 000 TPA (RF6) 90% IO2 ANATASE
  • PLANT AT ARAXA DUE ON LINE IN 1988, BUT THE OBJECTIVE HAS RECENTLY BEEN INCREASED TO 500 000 TPA.
