Iluka Resources is a leading global mineral sands miner. It is the largest global producer of zircon, and one of the largest producers of titanium dioxide feedstocks (rutile, synthetic rutile). Low zircon costs are underpinned by the high-grade Jacinth-Ambrosia mine in South Australia, but reserve life is less than 10 years. A 20% shareholding in Deterra Royalties brings exposure to the high-quality Mining Area C iron ore royalty. Production from the Balranald rutile and zircon mine commenced in late 2025, and Iluka is also building a rare-earth refinery at Eneabba. The refinery will be able to process Iluka's existing monazite stockpile as well as feed from third parties, Balranald, and future Iluka projects.
