Heavy minerals (dark) in a quartz beach sand (Chennai, India).Heavy mineral sands are a class of ore deposit which is an important source of zirconium, titanium, thorium, tungsten, rare-earth elements, the industrial minerals diamond, sapphire, garnet, and occasionally precious metals or gemstones.
The Tellnes mine is one of the largest titanium mines in Europe. The mine is located about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) northeast of the Jøssingfjorden in Sokndal municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The mine has reserves amounting more than 300,000,000 tonnes (300,000,000 long tons; 330,000,000 short tons) of ore grading 18% titanium. [1]

Ilmenite is a titanium-iron oxide mineral with the idealized formula FeTiO 3.It is a weakly magnetic black or steel-gray solid. Ilmenite is the most important ore of titanium [5] and the main source of titanium dioxide, which is used in paints, printing inks, [6] fabrics, plastics, paper, sunscreen, food and cosmetics.
A never-before-seen ore containing vast quantities of an element widely used in semiconductors has been found in China in a discovery that could propel new advances in battery technology ...
Kenmare is the world's fourth largest producer of titanium feedstocks (ilmenite and rutile), which are primarily used to make titanium dioxide (Ti0 2) pigment. TiO 2 pigment impart whiteness and opacity in the manufacture of paper, paint, plastics and multiple other ‘quality of life’ items like inks, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Titanium may be anodized to vary the thickness of the surface oxide layer, causing optical interference fringes and a variety of bright colors. [124] With this coloration and chemical inertness, titanium is a popular metal for body piercing. [125] Titanium has a minor use in dedicated non-circulating coins and medals.
