Mineral sands miner Iluka Resources has bucked the industry trend of struggling to stay afloat, instead using the current financial crisis as a means to increase production.
Iluka Resources is a finalist in the 5th Annual Australian Mining Prospect Awards. The company has been granted a mineral lease by the South Australian Government for its Jacinth Ambrosia project.
Mineral sands exports from Iluka’s Hamilton processing plant have exceeded expectations in their first 12 months of operation.
MINING accounts for 7% of Australia’s gross domestic product, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
CHARACTERISATION of heavy mineral sands deposits in the South Australian portion of the Eucla Basin shows that the region has the potential to be Australia’s next big mineral sands resource.
THE output of mineral sands is expected to expand over the period to 2011-12, reflecting, rising demand and the start-up of new operations
