What we produce — and what we can process for you
CRITICAL MINERALS
ASM produces and processes high-quality Ilmenite (a titanium-rich mineral), Zircon
and Monazite (a rare-earth-element-bearing mineral).
​
Our products flow into a wide range of downstream applications — from everyday consumer goods
such as pigments and ceramics, to critical energy and defence applications
including nuclear energy, electronics, and electric vehicles.
​
ASM's processing facilities are not limited to our own production. We actively welcome third-party feedstock
and can process Ilmenite, Zircon and Monazite on behalf of other mineral sands producers.
If you are looking for a trusted, US-based processing partner, we want to hear from you.
Ilmenite
A titanium-rich mineral
Millrun’s high-quality Ilmenite can be used as a domestic feedstock for:
the Titanium Dioxide for the Pigment & Coatings Industry
or
Titanium metal production
why it matters
-
Essential whitening pigment in paints, plastics, and paper
-
The US is over 90% dependent on Titanium imports
-
Little domestic supply; no substitutes exist
-
Strong domestic and global demand growth
-
Titanium is on the USA's Critical Minerals list
ZIRCON
World's highest quality
The Millrun deposit contains some of the world's highest-purity zircon. It can be used as a feedstock or blended with other zircon to produce domestic specialty refractory and zirconium metal products.
why it matters
-
Used in ceramic tiles and the refractory industry
-
Zirconium is a critical structural metal in nuclear power generation
-
Negligible domestic US supply
-
World supply is limited and geographically concentrated
-
Strong and growing international demand
MONAZITE
A rare-earth-element-bearing mineral
Monazite is a rare-earth-element-bearing mineral critical to US energy and national security priorities. ASM's monazite production supports domestic rare earth supply chains — reducing reliance on foreign sources for minerals essential to electric vehicles, wind turbines, defence systems, and advanced electronics.
