ABOUT THE MINERALS ILMENITE Initial Production rate: 60,000 tonnes per annum A major industrial
mineral used for the manufacture of titanium dioxide
(TiO2), a non-toxic white pigment used in just about
everything which is white, such as paint, rubber,
plastics, textiles, ink, cosmetics, leather, ceramics,
paper, food and confectionery. Monto ilmenite is
considered to be a reactive feedstock, bringing a
process cost benefit, due to its relatively high iron
ratio. APATITE Initial Production rate: 25,000 tonnes per annum Apatite is a source
of phosphate, used in the production of phosphatic
fertilisers and animal stockfeed. Monto apatite is
particularly attractive to fertiliser producers as it is
unusually rich in phosphate. It is also well suited for
direct use as a slow release organic fertiliser. FELDSPAR Initial Production rate: up to 40,000 tonnes per annum Feldspar is used in
the manufacture of glass, sanitary ware, ceramic tiles
and cosmetics. Monto’s feldspar has a high alumina
content, particularly suited to glass makers, and
benefits from zero free silica and uniform particle size
providing significant health and safety benefits. GROUND FELDSPAR Finely ground feldspar is a high value, high margin product and is used in paint manufacture and powder coating. The company is currently involved in export market development opportunities for this product. TITANO-MAGNETITE Initial Production rate: up to 25,000 tonnes per annum
Following successful commercial trials, the company is
installing additional grinding facilities to produce
titano-magnetite for sale as a dense media in the coal
washing process. The Goondicum Project is well located
to benefit from Queensland's booming coal industry. |
