Sri Lanka’s state-run Lanka Mineral Sands Limited is to export 60,000 metric tonnes of ilmenite to China, a government statement said.
The statement quoted Lanka Mineral Sands Chairman Udeni Dasanayake as saying that two ships will arrive in Sri Lanka to carry the mineral.
Earlier this week a shipment of 30,000 tonnes of Zircon mineral sands was shipped out of Trincomalee harbour, which was observed by Industries Minister Ramesh Pathirana.
