Mitsui & Co (ISIN JP3893600001) agreed to purchase up to 65,000 tonnes of heavy mineral concentrate per year under a non-binding term sheet dated October 12, 2026. As Mining.com.au reported, the arrangement covers 50 percent of production from VHM's Goschen Project in Victoria for an initial three-year term. The agreement is still non-binding and the parties are working toward a binding offtake deal.

What does the offtake add?

The proposed supply volume gives Mitsui exposure to up to 65,000 tonnes of annual heavy mineral concentrate, while the 50 percent production share leaves room for additional buyers. Pricing will follow a market-linked formula tied to zircon and titanium dioxide prices, and Mitsui may consider trade finance subject to due diligence.

The structure fits Mitsui's diversified commodities model, but the commercial value depends on Goschen reaching production and on mineral-sands pricing. The three-year term begins with first production and includes an option for three more years.

Three dated Mitsui milestones

For the year ended March 31, 2026, Mitsui reported revenue of JPY 13,995.20 billion and net income of JPY 834.00 billion, down 7.40 percent from the prior year, according to Moat Explorer on September 24, 2026.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, revenue reached JPY 4.35 trillion and net income was JPY 294.05 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. That quarterly profit figure was paired with earnings per share of JPY 103.73 against a JPY 75.65 estimate, creating a concrete comparison for the current operating picture.
