PRODUCTION 270,802 dmt SALES 130,308 wmt
-
➔ GSP commissioned in July 2016, upgrading garnet production and grade of concentrate
-
➔ Garnet sales curtailed due to delay in GMA completing Garnet Plant in the USA ➔ Significant latent value built up in Garnet stockpile
-
➔ Tormin is one of the largest Garnet producers in the world
-
➔ Garnet production globally under pressure due to closure of Indian production arising from environmental breaches and non payment of taxes
➔ Under an updated 2017 Heads Of Agreement entered into with GMA, MRC will supply to GMA’s stockpile at a rate of 240,000 tonnes for 2017, with GMA agreeing to take delivery of 210,000 tpa of stockpiled garnet concentrate from and including the calendar year 2017, resulting in a forecasted minimum revenue of US$60 million over the next five years from the existing stockpile of garnet concentrate and forecast production for 2017

ILMENITE
Evident increase in demand for ilmenite and ilmenite concentrate due to:
-
➔ Tightening of the global ilmenite supply chain
-
➔ Curtailing of domestic sulphate ilmenite production within China and India, due to environmental and economic cost of production factors
-
➔ Ilmenite pricing up over 100%, with limited new supply
ZIRCON / RUTILE PRODUCTION
➔ Zircon and Rutile price stabilised with tightening of supply by major industry producers
PRODUCTION 35,813 dmt
SALES 38,408 wmt ➔ Anticipated upwards pricing pressure in 2017
due to industry consolidation and lack of new mine development
