Mineral sands miner Iluka has reported a 10% increase in production during the three months to June, as the Cataby operation, in Western Australia, produced its first heavy mineral concentrate, and the synthetic rutile kiln 2, at the Capel operation, returned to full capacity following a major maintenance outage in the March quarter.
Iluka on Wednesday reported that production for the June quarter reached 251 200 t, up from the 197 200 t reported in the previous quarter.
