Japanese titanium producer validates Kasiya rutile for high-spec applications
Japan titanium metal producer Toho Titanium Company has confirmed the suitability of natural rutile from ASX- and Aim-listed Sovereign Metals' Kasiya rutile/graphite project, in Malawi, for manufacturing high-specification titanium products critical to aerospace and industrial applications. Toho's analysis of a sample of rutile from Kasiya concluded that "it is of a quality that can be used without any issues". Kasiya's rutile surpassed the requirements for titanium dioxide grade, low or no deleterious elements, low radiation value, and suitable particle size distribution and density.
