Titanium Sands Ltd. is to ramp up drilling at Mannar Heavy Mineral Sands project after acquiring a new rig. Speaking on the developments at its flagship Mannar Heavy Mineral Sands Project in Sri Lanka Titanium Sands Managing Director Dr. James Searle said: “'The biggest thing coming along shortly is our drilling processes will get a big step up because we've acquired an RC Air Core drilling rig which will be arriving in Sri Lanka in the next few weeks and that will dramatically increase the pace on the ground.”

The company upgraded resources at the project back in February to 53.08 million tons of inferred resources grading 6.67% total heavy minerals.

In the March quarter work started on a scoping study that will address all aspects of the project including operating and capital estimates and potential off take markets.
