"International interest is rapidly growing in Senegal’s heavy mineral sands. This type of ore deposit can be an important source of industrial minerals such as zircon, as well as precious metals and gemstones.
An Australian mining company is planning to exploit a 50 km band of heavy mineral sands which contain a world class deposit. Construction of the project located on the Grand Cote, will cost $200 million, production is expected to realise 85,000t/y of zircon (making it the fourth largest zircon mine in the world) 20,000t of rutile and leucoxene and 650,000t of ilemenite.
The project has an estimated 26Mt of heavy metal resources (1,300Mt of sand at 2% heavy mineral) and a projected life of 25 years, the production will represent 8% of the world consumption of zircon and 25% of European consumption."

We must take action now!
