Empire Metals confirms high-grade titanium at Pitfield with latest drill results.

Empire Metals announced that initial assays from its largest drilling campaign at the Pitfield titanium project in Western Australia have confirmed and expanded a high-grade titanium core at the Thomas prospect. The campaign included 712 drill holes totaling 34,844 meters, with results showing multiple thick, near-surface titanium intercepts above 7% TiO₂, including intervals of up to 54 meters at 7.08% TiO₂ from surface. Managing director Shaun Bunn described the results as a "defining moment" for the project, highlighting the continuous, near-surface high-grade core within a large titanium system. Over 17,000 samples are being analyzed to support an updated mineral resource estimate expected in Q3 2026.
