China is a major consumer of zircon sand, consuming about half of the world’s zircon sand every year, while Australia owns 68% of the world’s zircon sand resources.
The estimated supply of zircon sand (concentrate in the middle tailings) is about 600,000 in 2021.
Tons, accounting for 50% of global production.
Although the relations between the two countries are tense, they are still highly dependent on each other in terms of economic interests.
At present, 11 mines of 5 companies in Australia are in production.
Most mines are expected to close in 2026-2027.
At the same time, due to factors such as decline in grade, increase in stripping ratio, and increase in cost, the output is expected to be Decrease gradually.
The article mainly introduces the current production mines in Australia : Au Luka Iluka Iluka Jacinth-Ambrosia mine Jacinth-Ambrosia mine The world's largest zircon sand mine, the first quarter of 2021 produced 70,100 tons of zircon sand, 10,400 rutile Tons of ilmenite, 38,100 tons of ilmenite, 3.
4% of the selected grade of raw ore, 65 million tons of remaining reserves by the end of 2020, and 3.
1% of average heavy minerals.
The mine’s life expectancy is estimated to be 2027.
Cataby Mine The Cataby Mine produced 126,000 tons of heavy minerals in the first quarter of 2021, with an average selected grade of 5.

Among the heavy minerals, zircon sand accounted for 10.
7%, rutile 7.
2%, and ilmenite 70.
5%.
The mine is expected to last until 2026.
Eneabba Mine The Eneabba Mine mineral comes from the tailings pond of the Western Australia Concentration Plant.
It will be put into operation in 2020.
The total reserves are about 1 million tons, of which monazite accounts for about 20% and zircon sand about 26%.
The mineral is about 100,000 tons, and the life of the mine is expected to be 2030.
Tronox Teno Teno Tronox Cooljaloo mine Cooljaloo mineThe annual output of heavy minerals is about 400,000 tons, mainly titanium minerals.
The annual output of zircon sand is about 40,000 tons, the remaining reserves are about 200 million tons, and the average heavy mineral content is 1.
78%.
The mine life is estimated to be 2029.
Ginkgo/Snapper/Crayfish mine Ginkgo/Snapper/Crayfish mine Snapper will be closed in 2021, Ginkgo and Crayfish will be closed in 2022, these three mines will produce 344,000 tons of heavy minerals in 2019, of which zircon sand is about 6.
5 This part of the production capacity will be replaced by the Atlas/Campaspe mine, with a reserve of 88 million tons, an average heavy mineral content of 6.
5%, and zircon sand accounting for about 12%.
After it is put into operation, it is expected to process 7.
2 million tons of raw ore annually and produce about 450,000 tons of heavy minerals.
It is estimated that the output of zircon sand is about 30,000 tons.
If it can be put into operation at the end of 2022, the mine life will be about 2034.
Wonnerup Mine Wonnerup Mine is a small-scale zirconium-titanium mine in Western Australia.
It is dominated by ilmenite.
The annual output of zircon sand is about 9,000 tons, and the mine life will be 2026.
Trevor rule Image Trevor rule Image Boonanarring mine Boonanarring mine in 2021 first quarter production of 85,200 tons of heavy minerals, which zircon sand content of about 28%, selected ore grade of 10.

O titanium AIR O titanium AIR Roper mine Roper mine with an annual output capacity of about 80,000 tons of ilmenite concentrate, plans to expand production to 300,000 tons with an average grade of about 7%, is expected mine life of over 50 years.
Doral DoralThe Yoongarillup mine Yoongarillup mine has officially ceased production in October 2020.
The previous annual output of 300,000 tons of heavy minerals.
The Yalyalup mine, which succeeds the mine, is planned to be put into operation in 2022.
It plans to process 4 million tons of raw ore annually and produce 250,000 tons of heavy minerals.
Life expectancy is about 2027 years.
Keysbrook Mine Keysbrook Mine’s original MZI project, with an annual output of 110,000 tons of heavy minerals, with an original ore grade of about 2%.
The main product is white titanium.
The mine’s life expectancy is 2025.
Summary summarizes the traditional coarse-grained titanium zirconium resources after years of exploration, the current Australian economic mining conditions have been increasingly scarce.
WIM type fine-grained zirconium-titanium ore has the advantages of large resource volume, low stripping ratio and high mineral value.
However, due to the fine particle size and high degree of weathering of its titanium mineral, there have been certain challenges in product application in history.
With the development of science and technology, especially after injecting the advantages of China's downstream mineral processing capacity, low cost and large market, these new zirconium-titanium minerals have obtained a historic opportunity to be developed.
