Deposit Type

  • Sedimentary


Summary:

Cataby is a large, chloride ilmenite-rich deposit 150 kilometres north of Perth.


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

The mining method will use a combination of dozer push in the larger pits and truck and excavator in other pits, feeding two in-pit mobile mining units (specialized skid mounted). Ore is then slurried in a separate surface screening plant located out of the pit before being pumped to an onsite and centrally located wet concentration plant.


Processing Technologies

  • Magnetic separation


Summary:

An onsite Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separation (WHIMS) plant will separate the magnetic (ilmenite) and non-magnetic product streams (zircon and rutile), with the mine expected to produce approximately 370 thousand tonnes of chloride ilmenite, 50 thousand tonnes of zircon and 30 thousand tonnes of rutile on average over an eight and a half year mine life.
