"The question we get asked all the time is, what are the repercussions of bringing on a 200,000 tonne line in a market that's from some vantage points already overserved," O'[Sullivan] sad. "Rest assured, we've offset this with some decline in other asset output. Just like we've always done, and I suspect everyone else always does, we manage a global circuit of capabilities designed to find the sweet spot between customer needs and our needs. I don't think that's unique." The Thann plant in France was the first in the world to produce TiO[subscript]2 in 1922 and uses a sulphate-based process. The company's Brazilian plant in Bahia, located around 20km from Salvador also produces TiO[subscript]2 using the sulphate process. [Cristal]'s remaining five plants utilise the chloride process for TiO[subscript]2 production. "In the past few years, demand for TiO[subscript]2 in plastic and paper has increased faster than for paint and ink," [George Chen] said. "The demand for wallpaper increased by over 15% in 2015 and demand for TiO[subscript]2 in Chinese wallpaper reached over 220,000 tonnes in the same year."

My arrival at Sierra Rutile coincides with an exciting period of the company's journey. My own background spans mining operations, new business and investment banking across many commodity groups and geographies. For this reason I have a very global view on how a successful extractive business should operate and conduct itself. The existing Sierra Rutile team at the board and management level can teach me a lot about the idiosyncrasies of mineral sands markets and the assets themselves. I have a high level of confidence that we can position the company for where it needs to be five, 10 and 20 years from now. We all strongly believe in the asset base and its relevance to its current and future customer base. Absolutely, Sierra Rutile emerged from the Ebola outbreak with no cases to report and continues to maintain stringent health monitoring standards. Sierra Rutile achieved record annual production in 2015 and in 2016 is on track to commission the Gangama dry mine on time and on budget. Additionally, Sierra Rutile's focus on corporate social responsibility is impressive. They not only support the community, but proactively play a major role in helping the overall economy recover.

"Currently, women represent 16% of Australia's resource industry," said Andrea Mitchell, member for Kingsley, WA, during a reception of the UK [WiM] group, hosted by the governments of WA and Queensland. "In particular, WA is committed to the development of the African mining sector, where women have a vital role (...) South Africa leads the world when it comes to women on boards in the mining industry, followed by Australia," she concluded. According to Amanda Van Dyke, chairman of WiM, an earlier study which looked at trends within corporations "sought to correlate the performance of mining industry organisations with the level of gender diversity within them - to demonstrate some of the benefits that higher female representation on boards and in senior executive positions can have on corporate performance".
“目前，女性占澳大利亚资源行业的16%，”西澳金斯利的成员安德里亚·米切尔(Andrea Mitchell)在西澳和昆士兰州政府主办的UK [WiM]小组招待会上说。“特别是，西澳致力于非洲矿业部门的发展，妇女在其中发挥着至关重要的作用……”在女性进入矿业董事会方面，南非领先世界，其次是澳大利亚，”她总结道。WiM董事长阿曼达•范戴克(Amanda Van Dyke)表示，早前一项研究考察了企业内部的趋势，“试图将采矿业组织的业绩与它们内部的性别多样性水平联系起来——以证明董事会和高级管理职位中女性人数增加可能对企业业绩产生的一些好处”。

What are your main objectives as chief operating officer? I am very excited to have joined Desert Lion Energy at a time when we have to transition the company in Namibia from an exploration and development company to a proper mining operation with a solid base and a bright future. The development of the operation is planned in three phases: lithium concentrate production from stockpiles; lithium concentrate production from in-situ ore; and conversion of lithium oxide to lithium carbonate.We are in the process of completing and declaring our maiden resource estimate, the issuance of our mining license is imminent, and we are well on track with regard to building a small lithium oxide concentration plant (phase 1), while finalizing the design work on our bigger concentrator for start-up and commissioning by the end of 2019 (phase 2). The aim of Vision 2030 is the creation of an open, diversified market economy with a resource-based industrial sector, a commercial agricultural sector and with the focus on skills development.

Matthias Mohr, CEO of K+S Chile SA, tells IM about the current position of the company within the salt business in South America and worlwide. South America is free of the big winter variations we see in Europe and North America. Our presence in Chile and other 'south cone' markets is stable, growing with better presence in retail, specialities and chemical markets. Markets like Colombia, Peru and Brazil have a growing middle class, customers of a better quality brand products. K+S, with the brand icon "The Morton Umbrella Girl", Sal Lobos Biosal in Chile and top-brands in Europe, is best positioned to serve these growing retail markets. In the big volume segments like chemical salt we are the cost efficient stable source in Latin America. Canadian potash producer Pacific Potash Corp. (PPC) appointed Harrison Cookenboo as geological consultant. Cookenboo will develop PPC's Amazonas Potash. Cookenboo replaces Andre Costa, who resigned as chief geologist of the company at the end of February this year. PPC also appointed Joel Mendes Renno' [Stephen Zelnak Jr.] as special advisor of the company. PPC also appointed John Santos as general manager of its Brazilian subsidiary, Potassio Ocidental.

2013 was a tough year for Orbite, but we have turned a corner. Things are going well and are on track. The first challenge and priority is finalising our high purity alumina (HPA) facility. That presents a list of challenges, but we are tackling them very well and are giving ourselves a 12-month timeline, following the raising of equity financing. We started on the HPA building in January this year. Priority number one is putting the first HPA plant into commercial production at the beginning of 2015, ramping it up to 3tpd in the first quarter of next year and finding commercial contracts with our potential customers, with whom we are discussing right now. The HPA facility is actually a cornerstone for the other commercial activities, notably the waste monetisation. In 2015 we'll be converting and finalising the HPA facility to the chloride-based technology. The facility will become an industrial demo for our technology platform. It will then be used to finalise the design, and be able to bring in the red mud, fly ash or other mine tailings that we are looking at. The scaled-up plant will allow us to finalise the design of the first industrial in-situ plant. Australian rare earths producer, Lynas Corp., appointed Amanda Lacaze as CEO. Amanda takes over from Eric Noyrez, who served as CEO for just over a year, leading the start-up of the company's rare earths mine at Mount Well, Australia. Lacaze was previously CEO of Commander Communications and executive chairman of Orion Telecommunications.
