The Ilmenite grains are identified by their high Titanium spectra which are easily distinguished from the titanomagnetite spectra. The SEM study confirms the dominance of Ilmenite, particularly in the coarser particle size fraction, which indicates that the grains may be easily recovered into concentrate using conventional low-cost processing methods.
