A scoping study into the Mannar Island heavy mineral sands project, in Sri Lanka, has indicated that the project was economically robust, with owner Titanium Sands now vowing to undertake further definitive feasibility work.
The ASX-listed company noted that initial production from the Mannar Island project would most likely occur on a zone measuring 10 km by average of 2 km wide, which contains an estimated 92.56-million tonnes of resources, at 5.24% total heavy mineral, out of a total resource estimate of 264.93-million tonnes.
