  • Latin Resources' Guadalupito project is "not an andalusite resource", Andrew Bristow, Latin's general manager, told IM.

    "The andalusite is the blue-sky part of the deposit," Bristow said. "There is a lot of future potential. We are focusing on the easiest part of the deposit first, which is the magnetite, the titanium suite and the zircon. That, for us, is where the focus is at present, but we are keeping the andalusite story ticking over in the background as a real sweetener for the future." "We have conducted many trials in the industry to substitute bauxite with andalusite and can confirm that this will work in some of the applications," Dirk Auge, of Germany's Cofermin, told IM.
