Mineral Sands

Zircon and titanium dioxide minerals – in the form of rutile, ilmenite and leucoxene – are our two main product streams. Zircon belongs to a group of minerals – including rutile, ilmenite and leucoxene – that are typically found and mined together.
Mineral sands are found in abundance throughout Indonesia’s region of Central Kalimantan where Mandiri is located.
