That\u2019s the main sector driving TiO2\u2019s forecast Compound Annual Growth Rate of 6.3% per annum to 2030, reports Grand View Research.<\/p>\n<p>TiO2 is also used in a shopping list of products many of us use daily such as sunscreen, light-reflecting makeup, gym equipment and joint replacements.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to demand is the increasing use of titanium in cars and aerospace as it is stronger and lighter than steel. Ongoing advances in industrial-scale 3D printing of titanium components is further boosting the metal\u2019s appeal in aerospace, biomedicine and chemical engineering.<\/p>\n<p>TiO2 is also essential to renewable energy technology, for example boosting the efficiency and durability of photovoltaic cells. Meanwhile a lot of exciting work is being done to commercially develop sodium titanate batteries due to their financial, environmental and safety benefits compared to more costly and highly\u00a0 flammable lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n<p>In other sectors, new applications for titanium nanoparticles and thin film titanium \u2013 already used in high-tech antifogging coatings, self-cleaning windows and waste water treatment tech \u2013 are being developed.<\/p>\n<p>And with titanium being complicated to recycle, new titanium projects are crucial to fulfill global supply needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Resouro to the rescue<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the world\u2019s largest undeveloped titanium projects is <a href=\"https:\/\/stockhead.com.au\/?s=resouro\">Resouro<\/a>\u2019s Tiros in Brazil\u2019s powerhouse mining state of Minas Gerais.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just a top tier TiO2 opportunity. Tiros additionally has returned <a href=\"https:\/\/stockhead.com.au\/resources\/resouro-steps-out-with-more-world-class-results-ahead-of-asx-ipo\/\">rare earth oxide grades comparable to the best clay style deposits in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Latest assay results from the 450sqkm project have demonstrated the consistency of world-class grades across large distances and outside where Resouro is doing highly encouraging resource definition drilling.<\/p>\n<p>Currently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Resouro is set to be listed on the ASX this month, with leading broking house Taylor Collison expected to point to <a href=\"https:\/\/stockhead.com.au\/resources\/monsters-of-rock-meteoric-step-to-uncovering-potential-of-brazils-ionic-rare-earths\/\">Meteoric Resources\u2019 (ASX:MEI)<\/a>\u2019s rapid-fire growth into a mid-tier rare earths player, as well as Gina Rinehart-backed ASX darling <a href=\"https:\/\/stockhead.com.au\/?s=brazilian+rare+earths\">Brazilian Rare Earths (ASX:BRE)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As Resouro works towards a Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) for Tiros, more aircore drilling is underway to confirm the continuity of the mineralised zones, as well as provide a wide range of metallurgical samples for the tests already in progress.<\/p>\n<p>Setting the scene for a low capex and opex operation, the high-tonnage project\u2019s soft, weathered ore is suitable for strip mining and does not need blasting or milling.<\/p>\n<p>In critical minerals projects metallurgy is pivotal and preliminary testwork has so far resulted in TiO2, or anatase, of an impressive 82% concentrate using proven, conventional concentration techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly for the economics and ESG profile, independent accredited laboratory tests have demonstrated average thorium and uranium are at a very low 82ppm and 10ppm in situ respectively in Resouro assays.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was developed in collaboration with Resouro, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article does not constitute financial product advice.
