IperionX Limited has received all permits required to commence construction and operations at the planned titanium metal production facility in Virginia.
These permits include the Industrial Wastewater Discharge permit issued by the Halifax County Service Authority, and the New Source Review (air pollution) permit issued by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. These permits meet the requirements to scale to the planned TCF-1 capacity of 1,125 tpa of titanium metal within the existing 50,000-square-foot shell building in Halifax County, Virginia.
All major engineering works for the planned Stage 1 TDF are now complete, with key long lead time equipment ordered and procurement underway. First titanium production is planned for Q1 2024, and IperionX plans to reach a production run-rate of 125 tpa of titanium metal by Q3 2024. A planned modular Stage 2 expansion to the TCF-1 level would lift titanium production capacity to 1,125 tpa by the end of 2025.
