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.
