Thunderbird product better than expected

Testwork on the Thunderbird mineral sands project, in Western Australia, has demonstrated that the project could deliver an ilmenite product with premium specifications. ASX-listed Sheffield Resources has reported that the testwork, which is being conducted as part of the bankable feasibility study (BFS) that is due for release in the first quarter of this year, showed that the ilmenite is likely to exceed premium specifications for the large Chinese market, and could increase the marketability of the product in the broader global market.
