Tajiri Resources comprise a series of higher-grade mineral sands deposits stretching along 30kms of Tanzanian coastline, including T1, T2, T3, T4, TC, Tajiri North and Vumbi deposits
- Tajiri JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 268Mt @ 3.3% THM
- Tajiri Resources have been defined through a series of air core drilling campaigns
- All resources start from surface, with no overburden and contain large coherent higher-grade domains comprising mostly high-value titanium-dominated mineral assemblage, with elevated zones of zircon and almandine garnet
- Contained Heavy Mineral (HM) content is 8.8Mt, with in-situ rutile (580,000t), zircon (335,000t), ilmenite (5,206,000t) and almandine garnet (1,477,000t)
- The MRE was managed by IHC Robbins’ Greg Jones, a specialist consultant in mineral sands resources, metallurgy and processing technology (refer to Competent Person statement)
- The Tajiri MRE is likely to continue to grow over time with high grade resources remaining open
Two types of heavy mineral placer style deposits are possible in Tanzania
1. Thin but high grade strandlines which may be related to marine or fluvial influences
2. Large but lower grade deposits related to windblown sands The coastline of Tanzania is not well known for massive dunal systems such as those developed in Mozambique, however some dunes are known to occur and cannot be discounted as an exploration model. Palaeo strandlines are mor ........
