Hoov, I was not aware of the titaniferous magnetite vs vanadium in soft sedimentary rock extraction differences.
I looked at the article you pasted and it was from 2006.
I wondered if any new treatments had come out since then and I found this company called Neomet.
When you have time can you take a look and let us know what you think?

The Neomet process delivers more metals and more ROIConventional processing of titaniferous magnetite recovers only titanium and smaller amounts of vanadium as marketable products. NEOMET OFFERS MORE! The Neomet process will recover other marketable metals at no additional cost… which means GREATER EFFICIENCY & HIGHER PROFITS! The Neomet process is environmentally soundWith the Neomet process there is ZERO CHEMICAL WASTE, so will have smaller than traditional tailing ponds that are inert. There are also ZERO ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS. How the Neomet process worksNeomet uses EXTREMELY FAST REAGENTS in a high-intensity atmospheric leaching process to dissolve both magnetite (iron) and ilmenite (titanium) components in ore containing iron, titanium and vanadium. The reagents are then regenerated in a patented closed loop using Neomet’s proprietary HYDROLYTIC DISTILLATION TECHNOLOGY. The amazing benefits of the Neomet processThe key benefits of the Neomet process are: HIGHER RETURN ON INVESTMENT because of lower capital costs, lower operating costs and higher sale potential; and a SMALLER CARBON FOOTPRINT because the environmental impact of your mining operation will be lower. No risk to youNeomet will do PRELIMINARY LABORATORY TESTS on the ore from your site and then perform a MINI-PLANT RUN at our facilities. We have compiled an extensive data base from previous mini-plant tests that will help us accurately estimate the potential economics of the ore at your site. If we do not meet or exceed the mutually agreed upon parameters, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING for the mini-plant run – that’s our GUARANTEE! So THERE IS NO RISK TO YOU to find out how your site will perform with the Neomet Process. Learn how we can improve your project click here! |
