Balla Balla Titanium

Ilmenite Grains In Sem Backscatter Image

Ilmenite Recovery Flowsheet

Aurox continues investigative testwork to assess the potential to extract a titanium rich concentrate from the ilmenite in the pre-ground Balla Balla magnetite tailings.  The results to date demonstrate the success of upgrading the weakly magnetic titanium stream via high intensity magnetic and gravity separation from 12-14% titanium dioxide (TiO2) to 20-22% TiO2, This intermediate TiO2 concentrate will become flotation feed.  The preliminary flotation testwork results to date have produced a saleable concentrate exceeding 45% TiO2. 

The operating and capital costs associated with producing a saleable ilmenite product are very low as no mining or further grinding is required. Recovery work shows that annual production will exceed 400,000 tonnes.
