Project Overview
Magnetite concentrate to be produced on site at Mount Peake
Concentrate to be trucked and then railed north to a TIVAN® Refinery facility to be located in Darwin, ~10km from Darwin Port
TIVAN ® facility will produce high-purity vanadium pentoxide, titanium dioxide concentrate and iron oxide Associated downstream plants will produce high-grade titanium pigment and pig iron for export
Planned Mining Total mining inventory of 78Mt @ 0.38% V2O5, 7.04% TiO2 and 27.1% Fe Strip Ratio – 0.9
Open pit with conventional drill and blast and load and haul with excavators and large mining equipment
Ore and waste hauled by truck up a one-in-ten gradient haul road Concentrate hauled 80km by truck to rail siding for freight to Darwin
