Ilmenite – Further news on RBM roaster failure and potential shortfall in Ti-slag supply

Rio Tinto has declared force majeure at its Richards Bay Minerals ‘RBM’ operations in South Africa.
The failed roaster at RBM means that the operations have been forced to suspend the four furnaces which depend on the one roaster.
Low inventory levels of roaster ilmenite suggest RBM will be looking for low C42O3 material.
Normally this might be supplied by Base Resources or Kenmare but both are thought to be low on stocks.
RBM could borrow treated ilmenite from Tronox or import ilmenite from QIT Madagascar minerals ‘QMM’ which is 80% owned by Rio Tinto. This material does not need roasting making it suitable for the RBM furnaces but again QMM may not have much stock as they are under contract to supply large volumes elsewhere.

Conclusion: The RBM supply shock, combined with low supplier stock levels, a shortfall in forecast production and rising demand looks likely to tip ilmenite contract prices higher to higher levels this month. Base Resources and Kenmare are well placed to take advantage of higher prices thought they may struggle to meet the expected increases in demand.

Great update, should be debt free by third Qtr.
The share price has been hit by the placing for Toliare development which will be temporary as Toliare is concluded.

Huge resource and certainly transformational for Base, I'm sure the institutions will lap it up.

More suspensions in China.

Inspectors in the Chinese province have demanded the indefinite suspension of operations after a drop in quality there.

Environmental inspections in Sichuan have triggered the suspension of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and ilmenite production in the Chinese province for an indefinite period.

The shutdown of operations in Sichuan, the leading producing province of TiO2 in China, was triggered by air quality falling below acceptable limits.

It is completely overlooked, debt is coming down at a huge pace. Only a matter of time I reckon before it goes on a big run. I do think positions have and are being taken of late.

[bantam175] 22/11/2017 15:40

Nothing but good news coming here, but seems to be completely overlooked by the market. My £2k the only buy today. Only trade in fact?
Takeover prospect imo.

Time will tell as always.
