Comments on the production information

  • BASED ON 15000 MTPY OUTPUT. ESTIMATED PRODUCTION 1991 WAS 8,100 MT SPONGE. METALLURGICAL RECOVERY OF TI FOR TICKEL IS 98%, FOR CARBOCHLORINATION IS 96%, FOR TITANIUM REDUCTION IS 98%. OVERALL RECOVERY IS 92%.
  • GRADE FOR SPONGE ASSUMED TO BE 99.3%.

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • INTEGRATED KROLL PLANT. *ALL COSTS IN 1992 DOLLARS. *GRADE GIVEN AS 85%.

Comments on the workings information

  • WASTE PRODUCTS ARE RESIDUES FROM SLAG PRODUCTION (METAL CHLORIDES) AND NEUTRALIZATION PRODUCTS OF ACIDS. THESE WASTES ARE DUMPED AT THE SITE OR DISCHARGED INTO THE DNIEPER RIVER. *DISPOSAL COSTS EST. AT $22,00/YR OR $0.001/KG SPONGE

  • FEED IS SLAG FROM VARIOUS SOURCES IN THE UKRAINE, PLUS POSSIBLY SLAG FROM NORWAY. FEED COULD ALSO BE SUPPLEMENTED WITH RUTILE. ASSUMED FEED IS 95% SLAG & 5% RUTILE.
  • BASED ON 15000 MTPY OUTPUT.
  • SRI ASSUMES THAT MOST OF THE PRODUCT FROM THE PLANT IS SHIPPED BY BOAT. IN THE PAST MUCH OF THE OUTPUT MUST HAVE BEEN SHIPPED BY RAIL TO THE VERSHNY SALDAT PLANT. THE PLANT PRESUMABLY HAS LOADING AND UNLOADING FACILITIES FOR TRUCKS. *SINCE ADOPTING ITS OWN CURRENCY, THE UKRAINE SUPPLIES LITTLE SPONGE TO RUSSIA. MOST PRODUCTION IS SLATED FOR EXPORT TO WESTERN MARKETS. A MAJOR CUSTOMER WAS DEUTSCHE TITAN, BUT RECENTLY EXPORTS TO GERMANY HAVE BEEN INTERRUPTED. OTHER CUSTOMERS INCLUDE INGOT PRODUCERS IN EUROPE, SUCH AS ICI IN THE UK & CEZUS IN FRANCE. *EXPORT PERMITS ASSESSED AT $1.54/MT SPONGE AND EXPORT TAXES ASSESSED AT $17.06/MT SPONGE. *SHIPPING COSTS TO W. EUROPE EST. AT $20/MT. COSTS WITHIN CIS REPUBLICS EST. AT $6.92/MT SPONGE.
