Image Resources NL is seeking to develop a greenfields mineral sands project, located at Nambung, approximately 18 km east of Cervantes in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia (WA). The proposal includes the progressive development of mine pits, processing facilities, groundwater bores and water management infrastructure, temporary waste dumps, solar drying ponds and associated infrastructure (power supply, communications, workshop, laydown, offices etc.). Two alternative mining methods... Read more...Last updated: October 26, 2023
The proposal is to develop a mineral sand mine for the excavation and processing of a portion of the low-grade heavy mineral sand deposit, the Amy Zone, into a heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) in the Shark Bay district of Western Australia. The Amy Zone is approximately 35 km long, up to 3 km wide and 5 - 40 m thick. Read more...Last updated: July 29, 2019

AMC Mineral Sands Ltd, the mineral sands division of Renison Goldfields Consolidated Limited, proposes to expand its synthetic rutile plant on the Narngulu Industrial Estate located 11 km south-east of Geraldton. After expansion, the synthetic rutile plant will occupy some 47 hectares of the 465 hectare Estate. The expansion will increase synthetic rutile production from 112,500 to 260,000 tonnes per annum. This expansion arises from an increased demand for the synthetic rutile product. Read more...Last updated: October 11, 1989
The proposal is to extend AMC Mineral Sands' existing heavy mineral sand mining operation. The proposed extension is 5 km west of the existing operation at Eneabba, which lies 250 km north of Perth. Expansion of the mining operation will necessitate an expansion of the existing dry processing plant at Narngulu near Geraldton. lt is proposed to mine 200 million tonnes of ore over a 14 year period, resulting in a 40% increase in production at the Eneabba operations. Mining of the deposit... Read more...Last updated: October 15, 1987
The proposal is to change mining methods of the Eneabba south operation from dry mining to dredging. This would involve the establishment of a dredge pond in existing mining pits from which a suction cutter dredge would progress along a prescribed mining path followed by a floating wet concentrator plant. Tailings would be stacked behind the operations allowing rehabilitation of mined out areas to be carried out progressively as the dredge operation proceeds. Rehabilitation would involve re-...
