Business Strategy and Outlook
Iluka is a mineral sands miner. Major mines are Jacinth-Ambrosia in South Australia and Cataby in Western Australia, and production from its Balranald mine in New South Wales started in 2025. Relatively low operating costs for zircon are supported by Jacinth-Ambrosia, but its reserve life is less than a decade. Like the industry, Iluka is facing a declining grade profile at its mines, but a constrained outlook for supply should support prices.
