JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Emerging mineral sands producer Diatreme Resources has expanded its project pipeline, announcing on Friday the award of a five-year exploration permit from the Queensland government for its Cape Bedford silica/heavy minerals project, in North Queensland.

Located 40 km north of Cooktown, the permit covered the majority of the Cape Bedford-Cape Flattery dunefield, part of which was currently being mined as the world's largest silica sand mining operation.

“This is a major development in the exploration of a potentially valuable new mineral sands mine in North Queensland, adding to our attractive heavy minerals portfolio which includes our flagship Cyclone zircon project. We are determined to advance this project as quickly as possible,” said Diatreme CEO Neil McIntyre.
