Mannar Island heavy mineral sands project, Sri Lanka
Name of the Project
Mannar Island heavy mineral sands project.
Location
The project is located in north-west Sri Lanka.
Project Owner/s
Titanium Sands.
Project Description
A scoping study has shown potential for an economically robust long-life major dredging project, based on a single dredge, a primary concentrator and a minerals separation plant.
The project concept for the scoping study is for dredge mining to 10 m below the level of the dredge pond.
The dredge will feed a floating wet concentration plant. The primary concentrate will then feed a centrally located mineral separation plant.
Initial production from the Mannar Island project will most likely occur on a zone measuring 10 km × 2 km, which contains an estimated 92.56-million tonnes of resources, at 5.24% total heavy mineral, out of a total resource estimate of 264.93-million tonnes.
