Base Resources is an Australian-based mineral sands company focused on the exploration, development and mining of zircon, rutile and ilmenite. Established in 2008 and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: BSE) with an OTCMKTS quotation under BSRUF, the company is headquartered in Perth, Western Australia. Its core mission is to supply high-grade heavy mineral sands to global markets while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability and community engagement.
The company’s flagship operation is the Kwale Mineral Sands Project in coastal Kenya, which commenced production in 2013. At Kwale, Base Resources employs dredge and dry‐mining processes to extract heavy minerals, which are then separated, processed and sold into pigment, titanium dioxide, ceramics and foundry markets. The mine’s product suite includes high‐grade rutile used in titanium‐based pigments, zircon for ceramics and foundry applications, and ilmenite for titanium dioxide feedstock. Base Resources has invested in on-site processing facilities and a dedicated export terminal to ensure efficient logistics and product quality.
Base Resources is led by Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Tim Carstens, who has overseen operational ramp-up and strategic growth initiatives since his appointment. In addition to Kwale, the company is advancing the Toliara Sands Project in Madagascar through feasibility studies and environmental permitting, with the aim of bringing a second major mineral sands operation online. Headquartered in Perth, Base Resources maintains a regional office in Nairobi to support its Kenyan operations and community programs. Products from Base Resources are exported to end-users across Asia, Europe and North America, underpinning the company’s profile as a reliable supplier in the global mineral sands sector.
