MINERAL SANDS
The bankable feasibility study (BFS) on the Thunderbird mineral sands project, in Western Australia, has increased projected capital requirements from the A$271-million estimated in the prefeasibility study (PFS), to A$348-million.

The Stage 2 expansion will require a further A$195-million in capital.
