Abstract
Titanium minerals in amounts equivalent to a significant portion of present world production are moved but not recovered from mines of other commodities. Resources of this type total in the millions of tons of contained TiO2. Among the possible sources for byproduct titanium are (1) ilnenite and minor rutile detrital concentrations in deposits of tin, monazite, phosphate, gold, platinum, uranium, and sand andgravel; (2) leucoxenitized ilmenite and, locally, rutile in some 13 bauxites; (3) rutilo in porphyry copper and related deposits; (14) 14 rutile in kyanite deposits; and (5) perovskite and other titanium minerals in deposits of niobium, apatite, and nepheline in nepheline syenites.
