Here's the quote the I'm referring to from the 16th Aug ann's.

"In many cases, there are no readily available
alternatives, due to the unique properties of zirconium materials, when
price and performance are considered. AZL also has several high value
zirconia products under active development, which will generate
significantly higher revenues than just selling zirconium dioxide powders
and chemicals that are used as raw materials.
DUBBO ZIRCONIA PROJECT PRODUCTION
The DZP flowsheet has been developed over many years and has been tested on the demonstration pilot
plant at ANSTO since 2008 to produce a suite of saleable zirconium, niobium and rare earth products. In
the last 18 months further process development work to recover hafnium from the zirconium refining
circuit was established. This improvement delivered a hafnium product and a very pure (+99.9% ZrO2)
and higher value zirconia product."

Hope that settled the nerves .
