China consumes about
50% of world’s zircon
output.
About 30% of that zircon
is converted to
downstream products.
China currently
produces about 90% of
world’s ZOC and 60% of
FZA.

20% shortfall by 2020
Zircon prices have
escalated during
2010 and 2011 to
>US$1,700/t
Zircon price and supply will have a major impact on the cost and availability of zirconium
chemicals, zirconia and zirconium metal. China has declared zirconium a strategic metal.

Major MoU just announced: JV to develop 15,000t to 20,000t ZOC production (~6,000 – 7,000t of ZrO2 equivalent) facility using DZP intermediate zirconium feed. This JV would consume all the Base Case Zr output and almost assures the development of the 1Mtpa operation.
Target markets in Japan, Europe and North America.
Advanced discussions with other zirconium consumers / marketing specialists to secure sales for all remaining 1Mtpa Zr output. Many product samples distributed for evaluation.
MoU advanced with niobium consumer to look at JV to produce ferro-niobium from DZP niobium concentrate for specialised alloy markets.
Numerous discussions for sale or JV of light rare earth concentrate and heavy rare earth concentrate. Samples distributed for consumer evaluation.

Majority of “downstream” zirconium products are derived from zircon, whose output is governed by ilmenite/rutile from mineral sands mining operations.
China dominates downstream zirconium business at ~90% but feed is zircon.
Niobium production dominated by one company, CBMM in Brazil with 90% of market. Rare earth and yttrium production dominated by China (95%). DZP offers new source particularly for important Y and HREE.
Production costs are spread across the four metal outputs – zirconium (hafnium), niobium (tantalum), light rare earths and yttrium-heavy rare earths.
Project located in region with very favourable infrastructure and legislative framework, both at a State and Federal level.
Increased demand for many of the metals is driven by environmental legislation to ensure emissions minimisation and energy consumption efficiency
The DZP provides an alternative and strategic source for a number of important metals, and is capable of producing for hundreds of years from one ore body.
