Empire Metals Limited has announced the successful completion of its third phase of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling at the Pitfield Project in Western Australia. The 40-hole RC program focused on testing and delineating the two known zones of high-grade, bedded mineralization. Additionally, diamond core drilling was completed to confirm the continuation of near-surface, high-grade titanium mineralization identified by previous drilling and surface sampling. Both drilling programs were completed ahead of schedule and on budget, with ongoing sampling and assay results expected in the coming weeks.
Shaun Bunn, Managing Director of Empire Metals Limited, expressed satisfaction with the progress, stating, "We continue to move at pace with development at the Pitfield Project, today announcing that our latest round of drilling has been successfully completed ahead of schedule and on budget." The company's ambitious development plan at Pitfield aims to systematically de-risk the project and prove an expedited route to commercialization for the newly discovered titanium mineral system.
The Pitfield Titanium Project, located in Western Australia's Mid-West region, is strategically positioned with existing connections to port, HV power substations, and natural gas pipelines. The region is known for its mining-friendly policies, stable government, transparency, and advanced technology expertise. The project is also near a green energy hydrogen fuel hub, which is under planning and development.
Empire Metals Limited is an AIM-listed exploration and resource development company with a project portfolio comprising copper, titanium, and gold interests in Australia and Austria. The company's current focus is on the Pitfield Project, which has demonstrated the presence of a newly recognized giant titanium-rich mineral system hosting a globally significant titanium discovery.
