- When the Company expects to release it FY23 Financial Results
Oliver Hasler, Chairman and CEO of PYX Resources, commented; “Most Mineral Sands companies are Ilmenite producers with rutile and zircon as a byproduct. We are zircon producers with a byproduct of ilmenite. That’s important as today zircon sells for $2,000 per tonne, whilst ilmenite sells for around $250 per tonne. We have a higher concentration of the more expensive mineral, and our assemblage value is 3-5x that of our peers.”
