Mozambique’s Tightened Raw Ore Export Rules
As a core global producer of titanium and zircon minerals, Mozambique has implemented strict regulatory controls on unprocessed raw ore exports to boost local downstream processing. The new policy has drastically reduced global raw material circulation, triggering widespread supply shortages and supply chain instability for most overseas buyers.
TRONOX’s Continuous Price Increase
TRONOX, the world’s leading titanium dioxide and zircon producer, has announced successive price hikes for titanium and zircon series products in 2026, driven by shrinking raw ore supply and rising market demand. The upward price trend has swept the entire industry, pushing up the procurement cost of upstream mineral raw materials globally.
Titanium Concentrate
Titanium concentrate is the fundamental raw material for the titanium industry. It is mainly applied in the production of titanium dioxide pigments for paints, plastics, paper and printing inks, featuring excellent whiteness and weather resistance. Additionally, it serves as a key feedstock for titanium sponge, aerospace titanium alloys, marine engineering equipment and high-performance welding electrode coatings.
Zircon Sand
With high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, high-purity zircon sand is widely used in ceramic glazes, industrial refractories and foundry casting industries. It is also an essential raw material for manufacturing zirconium metal, nuclear industry components, medical dental implants and precision industrial abrasives, enjoying irreplaceable value in high-end manufacturing.
Rutile
Rutile is a high-grade titanium ore with high TiO₂ purity. It is the premium feedstock for chloride-process titanium dioxide, widely used in high-end automotive coatings, cosmetics and electronic materials. Meanwhile, it is a core raw material for producing high-strength aerospace titanium alloys, applied in aircraft structural parts and engine manufacturing.
Stable Supply via Mozambique Mining Rights
We hold legal, valid mining rights in Mozambique, qualifying for compliant exploration and export of titanium concentrate, zircon sand and rutile. Differing from ordinary suppliers facing export restrictions, we are free from the impact of local raw ore export control policies, ensuring continuous, stable and high-quality mineral supply for global clients with sufficient high-grade ore reserves.
Cost-Effective Hainan Free Trade Port Policy Benefits
Relying on Hainan Free Trade Port’s exclusive duty-free policy, we enjoy full tax exemptions for imported mineral raw materials, effectively cutting comprehensive procurement costs. The favorable tariff and tax policies, together with convenient warehousing and re-export logistics support, help clients reduce purchasing expenses and maximize profit margins, delivering unparalleled cost advantages.
One-Stop Reliable Supply Chain
We control the full industrial chain from mining and ore screening in Mozambique to bonded storage and global delivery in Hainan. With stable quality control and efficient logistics services, we can meet customers’ customized material grade demands and ensure timely and intact delivery.
