Chilwa Minerals overview

Mining company Chilwa Minerals has listed on the ASX and aims to explore its landholdings for several metals. They’re located in the Zomba district of Malawi, near the Mozambique border. 

There has been some historical exploration at the site, but Chilwa’s first priority is starting a new drill program. This will help the team gain information for further analysis and be used to put together a potential future mining plan. 

Chilwa is searching for heavy mineral sands, which are minerals found in beach sand deposits with higher than average densities. They are used in various industrial applications. The most common ones are ilmenite and rutile, which are key ingredients for titanium materials like the lightweight metal and pigments. 

Others include zircon and garnet, which are valued in industry as well as being used as gemstones. They’re often found together with monazite, which is known for having rare earth elements (REE). Another firm is developing the Songwe Hill REE Project on a neighbouring landholding. 

The Chilwa team is also investigating the levels of REEs present at the site and whether extracting them is financially viable. The project is at an early stage and their plans could still significantly change before the asset might be developed. 

Chilwa benefits from access to a railway that could transport materials to a port in Mozambique. They also have a partnership with a major stakeholder. As a subsidiary of Luso Global Mining, Mota-Engil could provide simple access to engineering services and equipment.
