Australian critical minerals miner Iluka Resources will slow, then stop, production at its Cataby mine in Western Australia as it responds to falling worldwide demand, particularly from China.

The company primarily mines titanium, which is processed into pigments, and are then used as bright white colourants, opacifiers (used to make liquids and gels less transparent), and UV blockers in a wide range of products.
