Sovereign Metals #SVML – Representative bulk sample shipped
20th March 2024 / Leave a comment
Sovereign Metals Limited (ASX: SVM; AIM: SVML) (the Company or Sovereign) is pleased to announce that our spiral drilling program has extracted, despatched and delivered 30 tonnes of ore from the Kasiya Rutile- Graphite Project (Kasiya or Project) in Malawi to Paterson & Cooke (P&C). P&C, based in Cape Town, South Africa, is a leading engineering consultant in the mining sector.
Highlights:
- First 30 tonnes of ore from Kasiya delivered to engineering consultant laboratory in South Africa
- Ore sample to be used for advanced material handling tests as part of PFS optimisation
- Testwork program designed and approved in collaboration with strategic investor Rio Tinto
The material is representative of ore expected to be mined in the first ten years of production and will be used for advanced bulk laboratory scale test work to optimise technical elements of the previously announced Kasiya Pre-feasibility Study (PFS). These areas include larger-scale pumping, tailings characteristics and dewatering.
Managing Director Frank Eagar commented: “I must commend our geology and logistics teams who, in a very short space of time, successfully extracted and delivered this large representative sample from Kasiya to Paterson & Cooke. This represents a significant step in our ongoing project delivery. Importantly, it also demonstrates the effectiveness of the day-to-day technical involvement of our strategic investor, Rio Tinto, in assisting Sovereign with the Kasiya Project optimisation and bringing this tier one project closer to development.”
As a global leader, P&C has over 30 years of industry experience and expertise in slurry pipeline systems, tailings and mine waste handling, mine backfill, and mineral processing. P&C’s laboratory in Cape Town has a pipe loop facility that will be used to test specific parameters related to the mining, transportation, and handling of Kasiya ore.
The project team, comprising Sovereign and Rio Tinto representatives, designed the test work program, which the Technical Committee then approved. The Technical Committee comprises three Sovereign employees, including Managing Director Frank Eagar, and three Rio Tinto employees, including Rio Tinto’s General Manager for Kasiya. The Technical Committee provides recommendations and advice on technical matters relating to the Project. It was established in line with the Investment Agreement between Sovereign and Rio Tinto following Rio Tinto’s A$40.4 million investment into Sovereign to become a 15% strategic investor.

Sovereign Metals #SVML signs Rutile Offtake MoU with Chemours
2nd November 2022 / Leave a comment
Sovereign Metals Limited (ASX:SVM; AIM:SVML) (the Company or Sovereign) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The Chemours Company (Chemours) for the potential supply of 20,000 tonnes of natural rutile per annum from the Company’s Kasiya Rutile Project (Kasiya).
Upon signing the MOU, Sovereign’s Managing Director Dr Julian Stephens commented: “To have signed an MOU for the supply of natural rutile to Chemours, a global leader in the titanium dioxide pigment industry, is a true testament to the quality and strategic nature of our world-class Kasiya Project in Malawi. We are excited to be working with Chemours as a future off-take partner for our premium, low carbon-footprint rutile products.”
The MOU covers the potential supply of 20,000 tonnes per annum of natural rutile at Stage 1 nameplate capacity and an option to take additional product (tonnage to be agreed) when Kasiya reaches Stage 2 nameplate capacity (refer to announcement dated 16 June 2022 entitled Kasiya Expanded Scoping Study Results). Further, volumes may be varied up or down by mutual agreement and pricing will reference market prices of the day (both to be included in the definitive agreement).
The MOU is non-exclusive and non-binding and remains subject to negotiation and execution of the definitive agreement. The MOU will expire two years from the execution date but can be extended by agreement by both parties should a definitive agreement not have been reached by that time.
CHEMOURS: ONE OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST PRODUCERS OF HIGH-QUALITY TITANIUM DIOXIDE PIGMENT
Chemours is a leading provider of performance chemicals that are key inputs in end-products and processes across a variety of industries. Chemours operates 29 manufacturing sites serving approximately 3,200 customers in approximately 120 countries.

Using its proprietary chloride technology—pioneered in 1931 and improving ever since—Chemours provides innovative TiO2 solutions for coatings, plastics, and laminates.
It operates four TiO2 pigment production facilities: two in the United States, one in Mexico, and one in Taiwan totalling TiO2 pigment nameplate capacity of 1.25 million tonnes per year. In the year ended 31 December 2021, Chemours’ Titanium Technologies segment reported net sales of US$3.4 Billion.
