"Flagship project"...From a few days ago looking like Tivan+ looking promising. India looking to benefit from the technology not a concern but stamp of approval. We have an exclusive worldwide 20year license for Tivan+ excluding India.

Titanium and vanadium can be difficult to extract, but there are potential solutions
Titanium and vanadium are examples of critical minerals used in alloys for their strength and anti-corrosiveness. Vanadium is also used in redox flow batteries, a rechargeable, large scale energy storage alternative.
India has abundant vanadium and titanium resources but they are minerals that are not easy to extract.
“Titanium and vanadium generally occur together, and using conventional technology only one or the other can be extracted, not both at once,” Joanne says.
“Our flagship project is focussed on the development of the CSIRO Titanium-Vanadium process, a novel extraction technique for these elements.”
Our new process can extract both metals as "flagship well as iron, and at atmospheric pressure and temperatures less than 100 °C, which should demand less energy.
“We are optimising this process at the moment,” Joanne says.
