Coburn Project

Coburn operations is designed to process ore to recover three main critical mineral products of zircon and titanium ores of rutile and ilmenite. Strandline employs an open pit dry mining method at Coburn which is suited to a free-flowing sand dune deposit and involves dozers pushing sand into in-pit dozer mining units (DMUs).

Mineral Sands

Mineral sands are old beach, river or dune sands that contain concentrations of the important minerals, rutile, ilmenite, zircon and monazite. These 'heavy' minerals have a relative density of between 4 and 5.5 g/cm 3 and are much heavier than common sand minerals such as quartz which has a density of around 2.65 g/cm 3 .
