Although the two industrial minerals have widely different end uses and supply chains, ilmenite and rutile, used to make TiO2, and zircon are often found in the same deposits. This means that the shortage in supply of titanium feedstocks, that has sent prices rocketing in the last 18 months, will have an impact on the zircon industry.http://www.metalnet.co.uk/Article/3015610/Projects-in-the-Pipeline-Zircon-buoys-as-prices-rise.htmlMon, 23 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.metalnet.co.uk/Article/3015617/Latin-American-sentiment-shifts-towards-mining.htmlGovernments in emerging economies have always kept a keen eye on their natural resources.
