long-term economic growth in South Africa. We then evaluate whether these strategic global value chain activities are supported by the current industrial policy in South Africa and whether the results align with the beneficiation narrative. Finally, we reflect on the implications for industrial policy in the titanium value chain in South Africa.
South African ilmenite used to manufacture titanium dioxide pigment in KwaZulu-Natal is on the way to receiving a major value boost. This because ilmenite, a heavy minerals sands derivative, sells at around $300/t on export markets, whereas using it to manufacture titanium dioxide pigment at the Richard Bay Industrial Development Zone will ...
5 •South Africa possesses the world's largest mineral resources by value. •It is also a significant global producer of many mined commodities. •The role of metallurgy in the mining value chain will be examined in terms of what is practised currently and the potential to expand. •The optimum degree of metallurgical beneficiation is highly dependent on economic
In 2011, we founded Nyanza with the ambitious belief that there is an opportunity to create a titanium minerals beneficiation and value addition industry in Africa. This ambition is premised on the fact that Africa, and more specifically South …
The primary commercial titanium-containing minerals are ilmenite and rutile. In 2019, South Africa accounted for approximately 12% (820 t, 2nd only to China) of the world's ilmenite production and 18% (110 t, 3rd overall) of the world's rutile production (Gambogi, 2020).Furthermore, South Africa is estimated to possess approximately 5% of world ilmenite …

South Africa has been a resource economy in excess of a century. An independent evaluation of South Africa's non-energy in-situ mineral wealth is estimated at US$2.5 trillion (Citibank report, May 2010), making the country the wealthiest mining jurisdiction. However, a considerable amount of South Africa's mineral resources
TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC 2019 ANNUAL REPORT. We operate titanium-bearing mineral sand mines and beneficiation and smelting operations in Australia, South Africa and Brazil to produce feedstock materials that can be processed into titanium dioxide for pigment, as well as high-purity titanium chemicals, including titanium tetrachloride and CristalACTiV™ ultrafine titanium …
Eighty-five per cent of the 80 000 t of TiO2 a year will be exported to Africa, Europe, and North and South America. Already built is a product testing and development …
This ambition is premised on the fact that Africa, and more specifically South Africa, has an abundance of titanium minerals, but very little value addition is done on the continent. We are proud to be leading Africa's mineral …
Figure 6 presents a titanium beneficiation matrix. South Africa produces rutile and ilmenite as well as titanium slag. However, there is little titanium pigment production and no titanium sponge production. The metallurgical process for titanium pigment production is well established globally. The titanium slag is reacted with carbon and ...
The project entails the construction of a titanium beneficiation facility for the manufacturing of titanium pigment, a sulphuric acid plant with an 8 MW co- generation power …
Titanium placers, also called titanium sands, are mostly produced in the form of ilmenite-rutile. Most of the titanium sand mines are dominated by ilmenite, and a few are dominated by rutile. You can find titanium sand mines in the coastal and inner river sediments of South Africa, Australia, India and South American countries.
Within this context, this study investigates titanium-related beneficiation initiatives in South Africa. The country is one of the biggest titanium mineral reserve holders globally. Based on historical experience with beneficiation-related policies, it is clear that such initiatives often fail, and that well-considered approaches are required ...
In South Africa, titanium is sourced from mineral sands deposits. The ROM material is processed via numerous stages of gravity concentration, magnetic separation, and electrostatic …
The South African government has singled out 10 minerals which it believes have the greatest potential for value through beneficiation: chromium, manganese, coal and uranium, nickel, diamonds, platinum, gold, titanium, iron ore and vanadium.

The Magnetite project in South Africa is strategically located in the picturesque Limpopo Province of South Africa. Its focal point is the Rhenosterkoppies Greenstone Belt (RGB), an ancient early Proterozoic crust that holds significant iron mineralisation, particularly magnetite. Although some historical regional-scale mapping exploration work ...

2 STRUCTURE OF SOUTH AFRICA'S TITANIUM MINERALS INDUSTRY 2.1 Main producers South Africa is the second largest producer of titanium-bearing minerals in the world after Australia, accounting for about 22 percent of 6,1 Mt global production (Fig 1). In South Africa, titanium economic minerals, ilmenite and rutile, are produced from the
Developments and opportunities in South Africa's titanium beneficiation are also explored. 2. INTRODUCTION Titanium, the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, was discovered in 1791, much later than other metals. It is the fourth most abundant structural metal after aluminium, iron and magnesium.
