Don't be too hasty in saying that it is a long way from WA and ore deposits.
Ironsand occurs extensively on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island. The sand makes up a large portion of the black-sand beaches on the North Island, as well as the surrounding sea floor. The magnetite in the sand contains fairly large quantities of titanium, and is sometimes referred to as titanomagnetite.
powered up for 248 days
Doesn't anyone shut down the aircraft, lock it up and take the keys home anymore?
