Located in south-west New South Wales, the Balranald project is a rutile-rich critical minerals development. To access the ore-body at depth - approximately 60 metres below the surface - Iluka Resources is pioneering an innovative, remotely operated underground mining technology method using directional drilling. This approach significantly reduces surface disturbance, minimises the project footprint and supports progressive rehabilitation.
