Company Sierra Rutile Holdings Limited

Sierra Rutile Holdings Ltd is an Australia-based natural rutile producer. The Company is a multi-mine mineral sands operation straddling the Bonthe and Moyamba districts in southern Sierra Leone. Its mining and mineral processing operations at Area 1 include four wet concentrator plants (WCPs), a mineral separation plant (MSP) and associated infrastructure. It also holds the natural rutile deposits, the Sembehun Project. The Sembehun deposit is located approximately 30 kilometers from the Current Area 1 Operations. It produces three primary products for sale, such as SGR, IGR, and chloride ilmenite. SGR is used primarily in the manufacture of titanium dioxide pigment and titanium sponges. IGR is used for flux core welding wire applications due to its high packing density and low contaminant level. It also produces zircon as well as chloride-grade ilmenite, which is sold mainly for pigment production. Its products are sought after in various end-use markets and applications.
