Heavy mineral sands are a class of ore deposit which is an important source of zirconium, titanium, thorium, tungsten, rare-earth elements, the industrial minerals diamond, sapphire, garnet, and occasionally precious metals or gemstones.. Heavy mineral sands are placer deposits formed most usually in beach environments by concentration due to the specific gravity of the mineral grains.

Mineral sands are old beach, river or dune sands that contain concentrations of the important minerals rutile, ilmenite, zircon and monazite. These ‘heavy’ minerals have a relative density of between 4 and 5.5g/cm 3 and are much heavier than common sand minerals such as quartz which has a density of around 2.65g/cm 3.

Mineral sands mining or processing: premises on which mineral sands ore is mined, screened, separated or otherwise processed. 5,000 tonnes or more per year Application Interpretation Mineral sands ore refers to ore that contains titanium dioxide minerals (ilmenite, rutile, and leucoxene), zircon, monazite, staurolite, kyanite and/or garnet.

All mineral sands are considered to be Naturally-Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM), due to the presence of thorium and uranium in mineral grains. Three primary products of the mineral sands industry are called ‘heavy sands’ due to their specific gravity:

The Balranald Mineral Sands Project consists of two proposed mineral sand mines located approximately 10 kilometres (km) and 45 km south-east of the Project (Figure 4-1 in the Main Report of the EIS). The Balranald Mineral Sands Project EPBC Act referral (2012/6509) was submitted on 16 August 2012. The Balranald Mineral Sands Project has been ...

Definition of NORM: For brevity and clarity the acronym NORM is used in this report to encompass all naturally occurring radioactive materials where human activities have increased the potential for exposure in comparison with the unaltered situation. Concentrations of radionuclides may (i.e. TE-NORM) or may not have been increased.

Doral Mineral Sands Pty Ltd is proposing to develop and operate a mineral sands deposit approximately 11 kilometres southeast of Busselton. The proposal includes the development of mine pits and associated infrastructure, wet concentration processing plant, solar evaporation ponds, groundwater abstraction and water management infrastructure and process water pond.

Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials (TENORM) consist of materials, usually industrial wastes or by-products enriched with radioactive elements found in the environment, such as uranium, thorium and plutonium and any of their decay products, such as radium and radon.
