rosetta heavy mineral sands project

Moma Titanium Minerals Mine, Mozambique

Heavy surface mineralisation occurs in the sand units near Namalope flats and Tupuito high dune areas. The HM sand deposits occur in a sequence of fine to medium grained and silty sands consociated with clay units. The mineralisation constitutes about 85% of ilmenite, 5% of zircon and 2% of rutile, with minute variations among the units. Get price
