【SMM Titanium Flash】 On September 22, North Atlantic Titanium Corp. announced that it had obtained approval from the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests to conduct drilling at the Everett Titanium-Vanadium-Phosphate project in Havel-Saint-Pierre. The company plans to complete approximately 25,000 meters of drilling on 20 rigs over a three-year period. The weighted average grade of early metallurgical samples is TiO₂ 17.4% and V₂O₅ 0.18%. About 99% of the oxide minerals are high-quality ilmenite, with very low contents of magnesium, manganese, and aluminum. The deposit is located approximately 3 kilometers from the Lac Tio mine. As drilling progresses, the potential of titanium resources in this project is expected to become clearer, potentially adding a new source to the supply of titanium raw materials in North America.

Eurasian Economic Union Suspends Anti-Dumping Duties on Chinese Titanium Dioxide Until 2027

【SMM Titanium Flash】 On September 21st, the Eurasian Economic Commission Council decided to suspend anti-dumping measures on titanium dioxide imported from China, effective until August 10th, 2027. Previously, in accordance with Resolution No. 96 of October 2025, the Eurasian Economic Union had imposed anti-dumping duties ranging from 14.27% to 16.25% on Chinese titanium dioxide. Analysts believe that the suspension of these measures is beneficial to the interests of the Eurasian Economic Union countries. This move will reduce the tariff costs for Chinese titanium dioxide exports to the Eurasian market, and the relevant export volume is expected to rebound. Domestic titanium dioxide enterprises may further expand their overseas market opportunities.
