Mineral Sands

Mineral Sands are natural deposits of minerals that contain a mixture of valuable minerals such as zircon, titanium dioxide, and rutile, among others. These minerals are typically found in beach and dune deposits, as well as in inland deposits. Mineral Sands are extracted through a process that involves dredging, mining, and processing, which separates the valuable minerals from the sand and clay.

The demand for Mineral Sands has been growing rapidly due to its wide range of applications in various industries. Zircon, for example, is used in the ceramics industry for its high refractory properties, while titanium dioxide is used in the production of paint, plastics, and other industrial products. As such, Mineral Sands have become a valuable commodity in the global market, with major producers located in Australia, South Africa, and India, among others.
