Empire Metals MD says Pitfield maiden MRE reveals 2.2bn tonne titanium resource

Empire Metals Ltd (AIM:EEE, OTCQX:EPMLF) managing director Shaun Bunn talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest milestone — the maiden resource estimate (MRE) for its Pitfield project in Western Australia, which confirms it as one of the largest titanium discoveries globally. Bunn emphasised the scale of the project, describing Pitfield as a “giant titanium mineral system” with district-scale potential and strong continuity of grades. The MRE outlines 2.2 billion tonnes of ore containing 113 million tonnes of titanium dioxide, placing the project among the largest ever reported in the titanium sector. A key highlight of the conversation was the unique mineralogy of the orebody, which does not contain ilmenite. “We don’t have to go down a very expensive polluting process in order to get to a titanium dioxide pigment or metal product,” Bunn said. This gives the company what he called an “enormous competitive advantage” over the majority of the global titanium supply chain. He also discussed the company’s focus on the weathered cap zones at the Thomas and Cosgrave targets, which host high-grade cores at surface. Looking ahead, Bunn outlined upcoming milestones, including continued drilling at Cosgrave, bulk sampling, and early-stage engineering studies that will lead into piloting in early 2026.
