Australian Zircon says its first full train load of titanium and zircon has been sent from its site at Mindarie in the Murraylands to Port Adelaide for export.
Chief executive Jim Wilton says the company has been able to achieve the 800-tonne load because of operational changes at the Mindarie mine.
"We've made some modifications to the plant and also to the mining, the way we've gone about the mining operation," he said.
"During the month of May we've had pretty good mining rates so that again led us to getting more saleable product, so I suppose that the combination of those things has led to us getting better recoveries of saleable product."
Mr Wilton says the load was 300 tonnes more than the past best.
"The current quarter will definitely exceed all previous quarters which is what we'd expect."
