Iluka Resources was formed in July 1998 from the merger of Westralian Sands with Renison Goldfields Consolidated . Westralian Sands was established in 1954 and began mining the Yoganup deposit at Capel in Western Australia in 1959 . In 1999 Iluka Resources sold various businesses including Westlime Limited , Koba Tin , RGC Thalanga Copper , RGC South Capel and the Namara Coal Mine in New South Wales .
In September 2008, Iluka signed a multi-million dollar contract with the El Zorro railway company to transport heavy sand from Portland to Melbourne . David Robb, Ilukas CEO, announced that this organization change, a cost saving of 100% or 3 million AUD mean during 2008 and in subsequent years.
In March 2009, as a result of the global financial crisis that began in 2007, a rutile kiln in Narngulu was shut down, resulting in the loss of 23 jobs.
In November 2016, Iluka announced the acquisition of Sierra Rutile Limited .
