First shipment of Thunderbird product
Kimberley Mineral Sands (KMS) completed its first shipment of about 300t of non-magnetic (zircon) concentrate from the Thunderbird project in northwest WA over the weekend.
With production commencing ahead of schedule in Q4 CY23, KMS was able to ship its bagged product via Port Hedland to three existing offtake customers.
KMS is a joint venture company equally owned by Sheffield Resources Pty Ltd (ASX: SFX) and YGH Australia Investments Pty Ltd (Yansteel).
Sheffied Resources executive chair Bruce Griffin says the company congratulates the Kimberley Mineral Sands team.
“[We] thank our offtake customers for this milestone achievement of first revenue for the Thunderbird mineral sands mine, and with KMS production ramp up progressing very well, we look forward to delivering further increased volumes of product to our customers in the coming weeks and months ahead,” he said.
Preparations are underway for additional bagged shipments and the commencement of bulk shipping from Broome this quarter.
