"We are delighted to announce Empire Metals' inclusion in the FTSE AIM 100
index; a solid milestone that reflects the momentum we have built with the
Company over recent years.  Since uncovering the giant, high-grade titanium
anomaly at Pitfield in 2022, we set an ambitious development timeline and have
subsequently demonstrated that we have a project of unprecedented scale and
purity, with the potential for a truly multi-generational mine life.

 

"This achievement is only possible thanks to the hard work and expertise of
our team and the backing of our shareholders. Together, we're positioning
Pitfield to become a transformational, world-class titanium asset and
unlocking its full potential through commercialisation."

About Empire Metals Limited

Empire Metals is an AIM-listed and OTCQX-traded exploration and resource
development company (LON: EEE, OTCQX: EPMLF) with a primary focus on
developing Pitfield, an emerging giant titanium project in Western Australia.

 

The high-grade titanium discovery at Pitfield is of unprecedented scale, with
airborne surveys identifying a massive, coincident gravity and magnetics
anomaly extending over 40km by 8km by 5km deep. Drill results have indicated
excellent continuity in grades and consistency of the in-situ mineralised beds
and confirm that the sandstone beds hold the higher-grade titanium dioxide
(TiO₂) values within the interbedded succession of sandstones, siltstones
and conglomerates. The Company is focused on two key prospects (Cosgrove and
Thomas), which have been identified as having thick, high-grade, near-surface,
in-situ bedded TiO₂ mineralisation, each being over 7km in strike length.

 

An Exploration Target* for Pitfield was declared in 2024, covering the Thomas
and Cosgrove mineral prospects, and was estimated to contain between 26.4 to
32.2 billion tonnes with a grade range of 4.5 to 5.5% TiO(2).  Included
within the total Exploration Target* is a subset that covers the in-situ
weathered sandstone zone, which extends from surface to an average vertical
depth of 30m to 40m and is estimated to contain between 4.0 to 4.9 billion
tonnes with a grade range of 4.8 to 5.9% TiO(2).

 

The Exploration Target* covers an area less than 20% of the overall mineral
system at Pitfield which demonstrates the potential for significant further
upside.

 

Empire is now accelerating the economic development of Pitfield, with a vision
to produce a high-value titanium metal or pigment quality product at Pitfield,
to realise the full value potential of this exceptional deposit.

 

The Company also has two further exploration projects in Australia; the
Eclipse Project and the Walton Project in Western Australia, in addition to
three precious metals projects located in a historically high-grade gold
producing region of Austria.

 

*The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in
nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource
and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a
Mineral Resource. See RNS dated 12 June 2024 for full details.
