The "Thunderbird BFS, Financing and Project Update" announcement dated 24 March 2022 discloses risk factors relevant to Sheffield, Kimberley Mineral Sands Pty Ltd and the Thunderbird Mineral Sands Project which are relevant to making an assessment of this KMS BFS. This KMS BFS contains certain "forward-looking statements".
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 .
In January 2017, the project received final ministerial consent, allowing for the development of a mineral sands mine and associated infrastructure. In January 2017, Diatreme updated the Cyclone Mineral Resource estimate to 203Mt at 2.3% heavy minerals (HM) (1% HM cut-off grade) containing 4.70Mt of HM (refer to Diatreme's ASX announcement ...

The eroded areas are associated with finer-grained beach sands rich in heavy miner- als, the greater the rate of erosion the finer the beach sand and the richer its total heavy-mineral content. Inversely, the areas of shoreline accretion are characterized by coarser sands that are depleted in heavy minerals, and richer in quartz-feldspar light ...
We are assessing the extent of industrial mineral resources hosted by heavy-mineral sands in the coastal plain of the southeastern United States. "Heavy-mineral sands" (HMS) is a term commonly used in industry and geologic literature to describe layered sediments deposited in coastal environments that contain dense ("heavy") minerals of economic value.

In many parts of the southeastern U.S., dark-colored sands can be seen at beaches or beneath soil. These sands contain titanium, zirconium, and rare earth elements, which are considered critical mineral resources. Such sands are present in areas from the coast to a hundred miles or more inland beneath soil within the Atlantic Coastal Plain Province.
