Titanium Reserves By Country And 5 Biggest Mines In The World

2. Australia 

Ilmenite Reserves: 160 million metric tons 

Rutile Reserves: 31 million metric tons

Largest Titanium Mine: Mount Peake Vanadium-Iron-Titanium Mine

Australia’s ilmenite reserves are estimated at 160 million metric tons, which are 2nd highest in the world. Moreover, Australia has the biggest treasure of rutile ore, as its rutile reserves total 31 million metric tons. The Mount Peake Vanadium-Iron-Titanium Mine, which is also one of the world’s foremost advanced rare earth mine projects, serves as Australia’s principal source of titanium. However, despite having such dense ilmenite and rutile resources, Australia’s mine production for these two ores was curtailed to 0.66 and 0.19 million metric tons, respectively, in 2022.
