Japan titanium metal producer Toho Titanium Company has confirmed the suitability of natural rutile from ASX- and Aim-listed Sovereign Metals' Kasiya rutile/graphite project, in Malawi, for manufacturing high-specification titanium products critical to aerospace and industrial applications.

Toho's analysis of a sample of rutile from Kasiya concluded that "it is of a quality that can be used without any issues". Kasiya's rutile surpassed the requirements for titanium dioxide grade, low or no deleterious elements, low radiation value, and suitable particle size distribution and density.

Sovereign states that Toho occupies a critical position in titanium supply chains, supporting the aerospace industry across the US, Europe and the Indo-Pacific region.

"The validation by Toho Titanium - one of the world's most respected titanium producers - once again confirms Kasiya's rutile as a premium and purest form of titanium feedstock for the titanium metals industry.

"Toho Titanium supplies the most demanding aerospace applications globally, such as Boeing and Airbus commercial aircraft. Confirmation that our rutile meets Toho Titanium's exacting standards for high-specification titanium production validates our position as a future cornerstone supplier to critical industries," comments Sovereign MD and CEO Frank Eager.
