TCI oil snads update

摘要

Titanium Corp. Inc. (TCI) has successfully commissioned its pilot heavy minerals concentrator plant in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. The Toronto-based company is developing a commercial project to recover titanium-bearing minerals and zircon concentrated in the tailings piles from local oil sands mining. Fort McMurray is located in northern Alberta's Athabasca oil sands region. Operation of the onsite pilot concentrator will enable TCI to finalise its process flow sheet and achieve optimum heavy mineral recovery and separation. The company has redesigned its process flow sheet following technical work carried out in 2005. As a result, the first phase of project development will focus on zircon production, followed by an expansion phase to produce titanium products.
