The Xolobeni mineral sands deposit is located in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa approximately 300 kilometres north of East London and 200 kilometres south of Durban. The area is the home of the Xhosa speaking Amadiba Tribal Community, the traditional landowners.

Between June and November 2002 a detailed drilling programme over the Sikombe, Kwanyana and Mnyameni blocks was completed. The results were assessed according to the JORC code by SRK Consulting, and used to complete a Resource Estimation Report and Desktop Mining Study.

The mineralised sands occur within recent sands and remnant red beds of Pleistocene Berea Formation. The predominant valuable heavy mineral is ilmenite, the feedstock for titanium slag production. Rutile, zircon and leucoxene add significantly to the value of the deposit.
