据报导,耗资4亿澳元的库尔贾罗砂矿床的开发是世界上第一座把含钛矿物加工成钛颜料的综合工程。西澳大利亚珀斯以北140公里的卡塔巴镇附近的大面积重矿物砂矿床,是这项重点工程的原料基地。该矿床最初发现于70年代。1985年,T102公司完成的钻探计划,圈定出已证实的和可能的储量为56.9亿吨,含有1830万吨重矿物(品位3.2％)。其主要矿物是:钛铁矿(重量比60％)、锆英石(重量比12％)和金红石(重量比5％),还有丰富的白钛石和独居石。库尔贾罗矿床长189公里,面积约60平 It was reported that the development of the Aussie 400 million Aussie deposit in Kuljalaro was the first comprehensive project in the world to process titanium-bearing minerals into titanium pigments. The large-area heavy mineral sand deposit near Katamba town, 140 km north of Perth, Western Australia, is the raw material base for this key project. The deposit was first discovered in the 1970s. In 1985, the completed drilling program of T102 lapped a confirmed and probable reserves of 5.69 billion tons containing 18.3 million tons of heavy minerals (3.2% grade). Its main minerals are ilmenite (60% by weight), zircon (12% by weight) and rutile (5% by weight), as well as abundant white titanium and monazite. The Ku’er Jia Luo deposit 189 km long, an area of ​​about 60 flat
