Forecast Coverage for Zircon

Zircon is mainly used in ceramics and tiles. The prices are set under long-term contracts.  Iluka is the world's largest zircon miner and as a result the most influential in setting a benchmark price. Its Eucla basin in Australia is mined principally for zircon unlike the majority of other mines, for which zircon is a coproduct of rutile and ilmenite.
