ERAMET is pleased to advise that the Grande Côte mineral sands mine in Senegal has made its first shipment of approximately 27,000 tonnes of ilmenite to the TTI ilmenite upgrading facility in Norway. Grande Côte and TTI are owned by TiZir, a joint venture entity owned equally by ERAMET and Mineral Deposits Limited (MDL) of Australia.
This historic shipment is the realisation of the key element of the strategic rationale of the TiZir joint venture, being the integration of the Grande Côte mine with the TTI ilmenite upgrading facility.
