Comments on the workings information

  • THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX TITANIUM DEPOSITS, DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF OIL. THERE ARE ALSO PROBLEMS WITH RADIOACTIVITY, HIGH SILICA CONTENT DUE TO SANDSTONE MATRIX, AND THE LEUCOXENE IS OF A LOW QUALITY.

Comments on other economic factors

  • THE OIL WILL BE REMOVED IN THE MILLING STAGE BY PETROL EXTRACTION TO LEAVE A LEUCOXENE CONCENTRATE. ESTIMATED ANNUAL CAPACITY OF THE MILL IS 500,000 TPA ORE THROUGHPUT TO PRODUCE 90,000 TPA LEUCOXENE CONCENTRATE.
