DeepDive on Boeing, Airbus and Chinese Counterfeit Titanium Raising serious concerns about the structural integrity and safety of airliners, the use of counterfeit titanium in the manufacturing of certain Boeing and Airbus jets has been revealed with a key supplier for aerospace giants falsifying documents.
While the initial tests of the affected materials have not shown immediate safety risks, thorough investigations are being conducted.
Significantly, this situation underscores the complexities of the global supply chain in modern aircraft manufacturing, specifically in regards to titanium.
Known for its high standards and reliable production processes, Canada stands out as a significant player in the titanium industry amid these supply chain issues.
Home to several key titanium producers, Canada supplies ~15% of the world's titanium demand with the industry production valued at over $1.4 billion annually.
Eco-Friendly Titanium Extraction & Development
As detailed in a recent Deep Dive report, Temas Resources (TMAS.c TMASF) is positioned to take advantage of this opportunity with its La Blache Project which boasts a significant titanium dioxide deposit worth approximately $6.6B: https://thedeepdive.ca/boeing-airbus-and-chinese-counterfeit-titanium-a-closer-look/
Aiming to produce high-quality ore suitable for processing into pigment-grade titanium dioxide, La Blache has impressive economic metrics, including a post-tax NPV of CAD$6.8 billion, a post-tax IRR of 55.1%, and a short capex payback period, showcasing its viability and profitability,
Additionally, TMAS' is expected to advance its second project, Lac Brule, to a PEA later this year and is located in the heart of the main claim block, demonstrating promising mineralization is additionally rich in titanium dioxide with historical tests revealing high efficiency in titanium extraction.
TMAS' Competitive Edge
Providing a competitive edge with superior processing abilities, TMAS additionally owns a stake of its own processing technologies, ORF technology.
Supporting its internal La Blache Project developments as well as unrelated third-party mining projects, the suite substantially lowers both capital and processing expenses by 30-50% while enhancing recovery rates in complex deposits.
Enabling on-site production of metal or high-value products, this significantly improves the economics at the mine gate compared to traditional concentrators and offers an environmentally friendly alternative reducing the carbon footprint.
