RBM is one of the largest stand-alone mining operations in South Africa, and the largest single producer of titanium products in the world RBM now accounts for about 25% of world output of titanium feedstocks, being titania slag and rutile, 33% of world zircon output, and 25% of high purity pig iron. RBM is also SA's major source of high quality pig iron. Only 10% of RBM's pig iron is sold locally and the balance is exported worldwide. For 20 years RBM has mined dunes along the northern KwaZulu-Natal coast, extracting heavy mineral concentrates from the sands and rehabilitating the dunes. Four mining plants here are split between two lease areas; 17km x 2km Tisand, and 20km x 2km Zulti north.
