About Empire Metals Limited
Empire Metals is an AIM-listed and OTCQB-traded exploration and resource development company (LON: EEE) 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 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, 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% TiO2. Included within the total Exploration Target* is a subset that covers the 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% TiO2.
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.

Investor Insight
Empire Metals (OTCQB:EPMLF, AIM:EEE) is unlocking one of the world’s largest and purest titanium deposits at its flagship Pitfield project in Western Australia. With growing global demand, a looming supply deficit, and near-term development milestones, Empire offers a compelling investment opportunity in the critical minerals space.
Overview
Empire Metals (OTCQB:EPMLF, AIM:EEE) is an Australian focused exploration and resource development company rapidly gaining international attention for its discovery and rapid development of what is believed to be the world’s largest titanium deposit.
The company is focused on advancing its flagship asset, the Pitfield project, located in Western Australia, a tier 1 mining jurisdiction. With a dominant landholding of more than 1,000 sq km, and a titanium mineral system that spans 40 km in strike length, Pitfield is emerging as a district-scale “giant” discovery with the potential to reshape the global titanium supply landscape.
Empire’s strategic focus on titanium comes at a pivotal time. Titanium is officially recognized as a critical mineral by both the European Union and the United States, owing to its essential role in aerospace, defense, medical technologies, clean energy and high-performance industrial applications. Global demand for titanium dioxide — the most widely used form of titanium — is surging due to its unmatched properties as a pigment and as a feedstock for titanium metal. Titanium supply chains are also increasingly being constrained by geopolitical risks, mine depletion and environmental challenges associated with traditional production. More than 60 percent of the global supply chain is currently concentrated in a handful of countries, notably China and Russia, creating significant vulnerabilities for Western markets.Titanium has been designated as a critical mineral in both the EU and the US.
Against this backdrop, Empire Metals offers investors a compelling opportunity to gain exposure to a strategically vital metal through a large-scale, high-grade and clean titanium discovery. Unlike many traditional titanium sources, Pitfield's mineralization is exceptionally pure — free from detrimental amounts of uranium, thorium, chromium and other contaminants — making it ideally suited for premium, high-purity end markets. Furthermore, the mineralized zone is near-surface and laterally extensive, allowing for low-strip and scalable bulk mining with conventional processing technologies.
With more than 22,000 meters of drilling already completed and only a fraction of the mineral system tested, Empire is aggressively advancing Pitfield towards a maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate, targeted for H2-2025. Alongside this work, the company is also undertaking bulk sampling and metallurgical processing to advance flowsheet design and optimize product specifications. It is also engaging with industry players to assess product suitability for premium pigment and titanium sponge markets. Empire is planning to finalize, during the current calendar year, a mining study to evaluate the potential for a low-cost strip mining approach, utilizing continuous mining techniques.
The company is supported by a seasoned leadership team with deep expertise in exploration, resource development, mining, metallurgy and capital markets — ensuring that strategic decisions are guided by both technical excellence and a strong track record of value creation.
Company Highlights
- The flagship Pitfield project is the world’s largest known titanium discovery. It’s a district-scale “giant” titanium mineral system, characterised by high-grade, high-purity titanium mineralisation exhibiting exceptional continuity.
- Titanium is in a global supply deficit and recognized as a critical mineral by the EU and US.
- Drill intercepts at Pitfield include up to 202 meters at 6.32 percent titanium dioxide (TiO2) from surface, confirming vast scale and grade.
- Empire Metals operates in one of the world’s most secure, mining-friendly jurisdictions: Western Australia.
- The company is led by an experienced, agile team, with proven expertise in exploration, mine development, and value creation across multiple commodities.
- With a number of key development catalysts planned for 2025, including a maiden resource estimate, bulk sampling for scale-up of metallurgical testwork, and product optimisation, Empire remains significantly undervalued relative to its peers.
Key Projects
Pitfield Project – A World-Class Titanium Discovery
Located in Western Australia, the Pitfield project is Empire Metals’ flagship asset and represents one of the most exciting titanium discoveries globally. Spanning an area of approximately 1,042 sq km, the project has revealed a colossal mineral system measuring 40 km in length and up to 8 km in width, with geophysical indications of mineralization extending to at least a depth of 5 km.
Pitfield’s prime location in Western Australia
Extensive drilling across the project has intercepted thick, laterally continuous zones of high-grade titanium dioxide mineralization, highlighting the system’s enormous scale and consistency.
The titanium at Pitfield occurs predominantly in the minerals anatase and rutile within a weathered, in-situ cap that begins at surface. These minerals are exceptionally pure, often exceeding 90 percent titanium dioxide. They are free from harmful amounts of contaminants like uranium, thorium, chromium and phosphorus — qualities that are likely to make the deposit uniquely suitable for premium, high-purity titanium applications in aerospace, defense and clean technologies.
Pitfield is strategically located near the town of Three Springs, approximately 150 km southeast of the port city of Geraldton. The project benefits from direct access to essential infrastructure, including sealed highways, rail lines and an available water supply. This connectivity significantly enhances development potential by reducing logistics costs and simplifying future project build-out. Moreover, the Western Australian government actively supports critical mineral development, and Empire is operating within a stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction known for streamlined permitting and investment security.
Empire has completed more than 22,000 meters of drilling, confirming standout titanium dioxide (TiO2) results such as 154 meters at 6.76 percent TiO2, 148 meters at 6.49 percent TiO2, and 150 meters at 6.44 percent TiO2. Notably, mineralization remains open at depth in all tested zones, and to date, only around 5 percent of the interpreted system has been drilled. This underscores the immense upside potential for resource expansion.
The project’s development advantages are equally compelling: the mineralization is near-surface and amenable to simple, bulk mining methods with conventional processing. Its location in a tier-one mining jurisdiction offers access to infrastructure, a skilled workforce and strong regulatory support.The Pitfield project presents a scalable processing pathway.

Pitfield is advancing toward a maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate, expected by H2-2025. The project is already being recognized as a potential cornerstone asset in the global titanium supply chain.
Other Projects
In addition to Pitfield, Empire Metals maintains a portfolio of early-stage exploration assets offering optionality and exposure to other strategic and precious metals. Empire holds interests in two Western Australian projects — the Walton and Eclipse gold projects — both situated in historically productive mineral belts. While these assets are not the current focus, they contribute exploration upside and optionality within the company’s broader strategy.

Empire Metals Limited Announces Major Drilling Campaign Targeting Maiden MRE
Empire Metals Limited (LON:EEE), the AIM-quoted and OTCQB-traded exploration and development company,is pleased to announce the commencement of a major drilling campaign at the Pitfield Project in Western Australia ('Pitfield' or the 'Project'). This programme will target high-grade titanium mineralisation within the in-situ weathered cap at the Thomas Prospect, with the objective of delivering a maiden JORC Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate ('MRE').
Highlights
- A total of 164 drill holes planned:
- 124 Air Core ('AC') drillholes for approximately 6,700 metres, and
- 40 Reverse Circulation ('RC') drillholes for approximately 4,000 metres,
- totalling 10,700 metres of drilling.
- The Thomas Prospect was selected for the maiden MRE due to the extensive, thick and high-grade titanium mineralisation hosted within the broad, in-situ weathered zone.
- This programme, the largest at Pitfield to date, will cover over 11 square kilometres and aims to deliver a globally significant MRE.
- Notable intercepts within the in-situ weathered cap from previous drilling at Thomas include:
- 51m @ 7.88% TiO₂ from surface (AC25TOM039)
- 57m @ 7.48% TiO₂ from surface (AC25TOM040)
- 52m @ 7.43% TiO₂ from surface (AC25TOM042)
Shaun Bunn, Managing Director, said:"We are pleased to commence this important drilling campaign at Pitfield, focused on delivering our maiden MRE from the Thomas Prospect.The Thomas Prospect contains broad, continuous, high-grade zones of high-purity titanium dioxide mineralisation within the in-situ weathered cap: confirmed by assay results from the February 2025 AC drill campaign, averaging 6.20% TiO₂ over an average depth of 54m (announced 28 April 2025).
"This fully funded campaign, scheduled to run over the next four to five weeks, is the largest undertaken to date at Pitfield. With 164 holes planned over an 11 square kilometre area and to an average depth of 65 metres, this work is designed to deliver a globally significant Mineral Resource Estimate."
MRE Drilling Programme
The location and spacing of the planned AC drillholes have been designed, with the input of mineral resource consultants Snowden-Optiro, to provide the necessary drill assay data density to allow the preparation of an MRE at the Thomas Prospect. The programme consists of 124 AC drillholes, on a 400 x 200m drillhole-spaced grid with an average forecast depth of 54.1m, for a total of 6,700 metres, and 40 RC drillholes within the AC drilling grid, to a depth of 100m, for a total of 4,000 metres. The overall drillhole grid extends 5.2km by 2.2km and totals an area of 11.4 sq km (refer Figure 1).
The drilling is targeting the near surface, highly weathered zones within the Thomas Prospect; drilling has now commenced and will run over several weeks, with laboratory analysis scheduled for completion in August.

Figure 1. Planned Air Core drill hole collar locations within the Thomas Prospect priority area.
The near-surface, in-situ weathered cap at the Thomas Prospect contains a high percentage of the key titanium bearing minerals, primarily anatase and rutile. The drilling targets areas were selected on the basis of three key parameters: high-purity TiO2 mineral assemblage, high average TiO2 grades and significant depth of weathering (refer Table 1).
The AC and RC drillholes will be geologically logged and sub-sampled on 2m intervals and geochemically analysed; this data will provide the basis for geological modelling and for the development of the MRE at the Thomas Prospect.
Air core drilling has previously been utilised at Pitfield to drill-test the weathered cap and collect bulk metallurgical samples (announced 28 April 2025). It is a cost-effective and efficient drilling method that is commonly used for shallow exploration projects and the success of the previous campaign confirmed its suitability for the preparation of the MRE.

About Empire Metals Limited
Empire Metals is an AIM-listed and OTCQB-traded exploration and resource development company (LON:EEE)(OTCQB: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 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, 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% TiO2. Included within the total Exploration Target* is a subset that covers the 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% TiO2.
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.

Surge in Copper Demand Re-energises Cobar Basin’s Underexplored Resource Potential
The Cobar Basin in central New South Wales, Australia, may be emerging as a key focus for investors positioning for the next wave of copper supply. With a looming global shortage of the red metal and long-term demand being driven by electrification and decarbonisation, savvy investors are turning to proven but underexplored regions like Cobar — home to some of Australia’s highest-grade copper and polymetallic deposits.
Located within a region that holds 12 percent of Australia’s economic demonstrated copper resource, the Cobar Basin is backed by more than a century of mining success, strong infrastructure and modern exploration upside. With such high resource potential, junior explorers are keen to capitalise on the region’s rich copper history and established infrastructure.
Mining legacy and geological setting
The town of Cobar, located in Western New South Wales, is a well-established mining service centre with more than 150 years of production history. Known for its skilled workforce, mining infrastructure and access to road, power and processing facilities, Cobar offers a low-barrier environment for new exploration and development.
The region sits within a stable Australian jurisdiction, with supportive regulatory frameworks and a history of successful permitting and operations — making it an ideal destination for long-term mineral investment.
What sets the Cobar Basin apart geologically is its distinctive structural style and mineral endowment. The Basin hosts a variety of deposit types, most notably “Cobar-style” deposits — steeply dipping, structurally controlled lodes rich in copper, gold, lead, zinc and silver. These lodes often occur in narrow but high-grade zones, making them attractive exploration targets.
Many existing mines in the region — including Aurelia Metals' (ASX:AMI,OTC Pink:AUMTF) Federation mine, Metals Acquisition’s (NYSE:MTAL) CSA mine and Aeris Resources' (ASX:AIS,OTC Pink:ARSRF) Tritton operations — began as small discoveries before developing into large, profitable systems.
Yet, despite its rich production history, the Basin remains underexplored at depth, and much of it has not been subjected to modern geophysics or systematic geochemistry.
This creates a significant opportunity for new discoveries, particularly with the application of advanced tools and reinterpretation of historic datasets.
Mining in the Cobar Basin stretches back to the 1870s, when the discovery of copper and gold led to the town’s founding. Since then, the region has yielded numerous high-grade deposits and produced millions of tonnes of copper, gold and polymetallic concentrates. Key projects that underscore Cobar’s mining credentials include:
- The Federation mine — a high-grade zinc-lead-gold deposit under development.
- Peel Mining’s (ASX:PEX) Mallee Bull and Wirlong projects — advancing toward potential mine development.
- Kingston Resources’ (ASX:KSN) Mineral Hill mine — a polymetallic producer with significant upside.
- The CSA copper mine — one of Australia’s highest-grade copper operations, located just 11 kilometres from the town of Cobar.
- The Tritton mine — a significant copper producer with a long track record of success.
- Polymetals Resources’ (ASX:POL) Endeavor mine — a former zinc-lead-silver producer demonstrating the longevity of Cobar’s deposits.
Together, these operations represent decades of production, resource growth and sustained investment, reinforcing the Basin’s strategic importance in Australia’s mining landscape.
Mount Hope Mining: Positioned for scalable copper-gold discovery
At the forefront of the Cobar Basin’s new exploration wave is Mount Hope Mining (ASX:MHM), a copper-gold explorer with a commanding land position in the southern extension of the Basin, approximately 148 kilometres south of the town of Cobar. With four exploration licences covering 175 square kilometres, the Mount Hope project offers exposure to a richly mineralised corridor that hosts multiple historic copper and gold mines — including the Mount Hope, Comet and Great Central copper mines, and the Mount Solitary and Solar gold prospects.
Mount Hope’s strategy is centred on identifying and advancing Cobar-style mineralisation using modern exploration techniques. The company has already commenced systematic field programs across five high-priority target zones, combining reinterpretation of historical data, geochemical soil sampling and reprocessed airborne geophysical surveys. These efforts are guided by expert technical support from Southern Geoscience Consultants, and are being further refined with the addition of a ground gravity survey initiated in Q1 2025.
Mount Hope’s project area is structurally complex and mineralogically fertile, with known copper and gold occurrences along key shear zones. Yet much of this ground has seen little to no modern exploration, offering significant blue-sky potential at depth – a hallmark of many long-life Cobar Basin deposits.
Following a successful $5 million IPO in December 2024, the company is well funded with $4.5 million in cash at the end of Q1 2025, enabling it to execute its maiden drill program with flexibility and scale.
With copper fundamentals strengthening and investor appetite for Tier 1 jurisdiction discoveries on the rise, Mount Hope Mining presents a compelling exploration investment story grounded in a proven mineral belt, informed by modern science and driven by a clear strategy for growth.
Macro tailwinds: Copper’s critical role in the energy transition
Copper is indispensable to the clean energy transition, with demand set to rise sharply as nations roll out more electric vehicles, renewable power infrastructure and advanced grid systems. The International Energy Agency estimates copper demand could surge over 50 percent by 2040, driven by decarbonisation and electrification initiatives.
Yet the supply pipeline is strained: existing mines are aging, grades are declining and few large-scale discoveries have emerged in recent years. This looming supply gap puts greater strategic value on known but underexplored copper regions, like the Cobar Basin, especially those in low-risk jurisdictions like Australia.
Investor takeaway
For investors seeking copper and gold exposure in a world-class jurisdiction with both geological pedigree and modern exploration upside, the Cobar Basin represents a high-potential opportunity.
And with a well-funded, technically capable team focused on unlocking its southern frontier, Mount Hope Mining is well placed to be a key driver of the next chapter in Cobar’s mining legacy.

Harmony Gold to Acquire MAC Copper in US$1.03 Billion Deal
Harmony Gold Mining Company's (NYSE:HMY,JSE:HAR) wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Harmony Gold (Australia), has entered into a binding agreement to acquire MAC Copper (NYSE:MTAL,ASX:MAC).
MAC is the owner of the CSA copper mine in New South Wales. Its annual production comes to approximately 40,000 metric tons of copper, with 2024 output totaling 41,000 metric tons of the red metal.
The transaction is priced at US$12.12 per MAC share in cash, implying a total equity value of US$1.03 billion for MAC.
“(This acquisition) is significant as it introduces a high-quality, established underground producing copper asset to the Harmony portfolio,” said Harmony Gold CEO Beyers Nel in a Tuesday (May 27) press release.
“The operation is a logical fit with the portfolio given it meets Harmony’s core investment criteria, including increasing free cash flow generation while improving margins at long-term expected commodity prices.”
Located 700 kilometers west-northwest of Sydney in the Cobar region, CSA has a history that stretches back at least 150 years. Its reserve life stands at over 12 years, and it has maintained a stable resource over the last decade.
Harmony believes CSA will be a valuable addition to its sole Australian asset, Eva, in Northwest Queensland. Harmony acquired Eva in December 2022, and believes it is set to become the state's biggest copper mine.
According to the company, Eva and CSA could together boost its copper production on the east coast of Australia to 100,000 metric tons annually over the course of the next five years.
The transaction remains subject to certain conditions, but MAC’s board has unanimously recommended that shareholders vote in favor of the scheme. Should everything follow to schedule, the deal is expected to close in Q4.

Ivanhoe, Zijin Halt Operations at Kakula Copper Mine in DRC
Operations at Ivanhoe Mines' (TSX:IVN,OTCQX:IVPAF) Kakula mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) remain suspended after seismic activity was reported at the site.
Ivanhoe initially disclosed the interruption on May 20, when seismic activity was first detected, but extended the temporary shutdown on Monday (May 26) following several days of ongoing seismic events.
Employees working in the mine have been safely brought above ground, and mobile equipment has been removed.
Ivanhoe indicated that tremors are expected to continue for several weeks, and it could be some time before work crews will be allowed back on site. The shutdown has also impacted underground pumping and electrical infrastructure, resulting in an increase in water inflow to the underground mine, which will further affect the restart timeline.
The company notes that a dewatering plan using additional pumping equipment is in development.
Ivanhoe founder and Executive Co-Chairman, Robert Friedland, focused on positive takeaways from the shutdown.
“What has transpired will give us valuable insight into managing geotechnical conditions and maintaining critical pumping infrastructure, which will allow us to future-proof and safely restart mining operations,” he said.
The mine is part of the larger Kamoa-Kakula copper complex, a 40/40/20 joint venture between Ivanhoe Mines, China’s Zijin Mining Group (OTC Pink:ZIJMF,HKEX:2899) and the DRC government. The complex is one of the world's largest copper-mining operations, with average annual output of 1.09 billion pounds of copper concentrate.
While Ivanhoe and Zijin are working together to reopen the mine, the two companies have been at odds over the severity of the seismic activity. On May 23, Zijin said seismic activity had resulted in “multiple roof-falling and rib-spalling in the eastern section of the mine." In a rebuttal released the same day, Ivanhoe said seismic activity had caused a redistribution of forces underground, resulting in “'scaling,' or rockfalls, from the sidewalls of certain mining areas.”
The neighboring Kamoa mine and its Phase 3 concentrator will continue to operate as normal. Phase 1 and 2 concentrators, which service the Kakula mine, will also continue to operate from supplies from stockpiled material.
Ivanhoe said the suspension of operations has forced the company to withdraw its production and cost guidance for 2025, which had been set at 520,000 to 580,000 metric tons of copper.
Shares of Ivanhoe slumped 17 percent, sinking from C$12.85 to C$10.66, following the company's Monday announcement. As of Wednesday (May 28) morning, shares were priced at C$11.

Forward-Looking Information: This news release includes certain "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements in this news release that address events or developments that we expect to occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, although not always, identified by words such as "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "project", "target", "potential", "schedule", "forecast", "budget", "estimate", "intend" or "believe" and similar expressions or their negative connotations, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could", "should" or "might" occur. All such forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made. Forward-looking statements in this news release include statements regarding, among others, the terms and completion of the Private Placement, raising the minimum and maximum amounts of the Private Placement, the payment of finder's fees and issuance of finder's securities, the anticipated closing date and the planned use of proceeds for the Private Placement. Although Finlay believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the ability to obtain regulatory approval for the Private Placement, the state of equity markets in Canada and other jurisdictions, market prices, exploration successes, and continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions. These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions including, among other things, assumptions regarding general business and economic conditions, the timing and receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals, the ability of Finlay and other parties to satisfy stock exchange and other regulatory requirements in a timely manner, the availability of financing for Finlay's proposed transactions and programs on reasonable terms, and the ability of third-party service providers to deliver services in a timely manner. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. Finlay does not assume any obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
