(Iluka products: rutile and
synthetic rutile)

Zircon • Supply tightness and disruption • New supply limited by few quality projects
• Solid demand fundamentals • Urbanisation and rising living standards
• Increasing cost of substitutes • Increasing array of applications

Rare earths • Growing demand for EVs • Global electrification and renewable energy
• Security of supply chain • Secure and sustainable supply chains
