The western coastal plain of South Africa contains a significant resource of detrital heavy minerals by world standards.

Tormin Beaches
Deposit is a heavy mineral sand deposit located on an active placer beach strandline undergoing continues erosion, deposition and replenishment from oceanic storm and wave activity.

Mineralisation is enriched sedimentary layers semiparallel to the bedrock contact and beach slope angle.

Dimensions
The deposit has a strike length along the coastline of approximately 10,000m with individual beaches generally separated by rocky headlands/rocky beaches which cannot be mined. The deposits have an average width from the cliffs to within the surf zone of 60m. The mining width varies from 20-60m and averages about 35m. The deposit is developed from surface to a maximum depth of 4m. The deposit occurs from the surface down.

Northern Beaches
Deposit is a heavy mineral sand deposit located on an active placer beach strandline undergoing continues erosion, deposition and replenishment from oceanic storm and wave activity.

Most of the deposit is constrained shoreward by the low water mark with a 10m standoff and landward by a 10m standoff from cliffs and dunes. The exception to this is 680k of resource from Beach 10 which is located under dunes.

Mineralisation is enriched sedimentary layers semiparallel to the bedrock contact and beach slope angle.

Tormin Mineral Sands Operation consists of a number of high-grade placer beach and strandline mineral sands deposits hosting some of the richest grades in the world of naturally occurring zircon, ilmenite, rutile, magnetite and garnet.

Current Beaches
Operations first commenced at Tormin in late 2013 at the Current Beaches and over a six year period, the Company has mined nearly five times the Indicated Resource of 2.7 million tonnes.

Since commissioning, mining at Tormin has taken place over a 12 kilometre zone of beach area (“Current Beaches”) directly in front of the existing processing infrastructure.

Northern Beaches
In July 2020, Mineral Commodities was granted an amendment to the existing Mining Right under Section 102 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act No. 49 of 2008 (“S102 Mining Right”). Under the amended licence, mining operations can expand to include the higher grade Northern Beaches where a high grade JORC compliant resource of 2.5 million tonnes at 23.5% Total Heavy Mineral (“THM”) in the category of Measured, Indicated and Inferred using a 2% cut-off was reported in May 2020.

The Northern Beaches incorporate ten beaches directly north of and adjoining the Current Beaches at Tormin. These areas unite semi-continuous tenements approximately 23.5km in length, covering an area of 398 hectares of beach sands prospective for zircon, rutile, ilmenite, garnet, leucoxene and magnetite.
