Abstract
Although most ilmenite is recovered from breach-sands, an important quantity is mined from magmatic segregations in anorthosite complexes such as at Stillwater in Montana, U.S.A., Allard Lake in Canada and this example in Norway. Successful exploitation has depended on its location near a fjorded coastline close to the industrialized part of Europe.
