“Strandline is now a huge step closer to making the transition from explorer to developer and ultimately producer of mineral sands products for decades to come,” he concluded.

The Fungoni project is located ~25km from the Dar es Salaam port in Tanzania. Its Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), which was completed in October 2017 confirms that the project will produce premium-quality titanium and zircon products.

In May 2018, Strandline secured a binding offtake agreement for 100% of the ilmenite at Fungoni with Maoming Ubridge Group Mineral Industry Company of China.
