In Russia, metallic titanium is produced by PJSC VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation, while titanium dioxide pigment is manufactured at the Crimea TITAN plant. These enterprises rely on imported ilmenite concentrates, despite substantial domestic titanium-bearing resources. Large reserves are located in the Yaregskoye and Pizhemskoye deposits of leucoxene sandstones. After flotation, the leucoxene concentrate typically contains about 50 % TiO2 and 40 % SiO2. Some quartz occurs as thin inclusions within the
