Altair, Bateman embark on joint venture projects

April 25, 2005 — Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. and Bateman Engineering BV announced two projects have been initiated in their recently formed joint venture, Altairnano Bateman Titania Inc.

The joint venture combines Altair’s titanium dioxide pigment manufacturing process with Bateman’s engineering expertise to design and construct manufacturing plants to produce titanium dioxide pigment. The pigment is used in a variety of applications including the manufacture of paint, plastics and paper.

The first project is funded by an unnamed customer, according to a news release. It is a raw material evaluation study to determine the suitability of the customer’s resources for use in TiO2 pigment manufacturing.

The second project is with Randsburg International Gold Corp., a North American exploration company. The project is also a raw material evaluation study to determine the suitability of its ore body for TiO2 pigment manufacturing.
