Ilmenite and rutile are both titanium-bearing minerals rather than traditional iron ores. Ilmenite (FeTiO3) contains iron in addition to titanium, while rutile (TiO2) primarily consists of titanium with trace amounts of iron. Both minerals are important sources of titanium for industrial applications, but they are not primarily mined for iron.
