As a long term shareholder5 Feb 2026 10:02
What a marvellous opportunity this company could turn into. As all shareholders know….
Empire Metals is actively developing its massive Pitfield Titanium Project in Western Australia, which a late 2025 maiden Mineral Resource Estimate confirmed as a globally significant, high-grade titanium deposit. The company is focusing on fast-tracking development, with pilot-scale testing and new drilling results expected in early 2026.
Key 2025/2026 Developments:
Pitfield Titanium Project (Western Australia): The maiden MRE (announced Oct 2025) reported 2.2 billion tonnes of ore at 113 million tonnes of titanium dioxide, establishing it as a giant, high-grade, unique titanium deposit.
Operational Milestones: A 10-hole diamond drilling campaign was completed in late 2025 at the Thomas Prospect, with assays and metallurgical data anticipated in early 2026 to guide a simplified, low-cost processing flow sheet.
Diamond drilling is a precise, non-percussive, rotary technique that uses diamond-embedded bits to cut, rather than hammer, through hard materials. It creates clean, accurate holes (8mm to 1500mm+) with minimal vibration, dust, or structural damage, often using water for cooling.
Management Outlook: Managing Director Shaun Bunn has emphasised the project's potential to produce high-value titanium metal or pigment-quality products. As of February 2026, the company is focused on converting this large-scale, near-surface titanium resource into an economically viable, world-class mining operation.
……every company has to start somewhere…..
Rio Tinto was formed when a syndicate of British investors, led by banker Hugh Matheson, purchased a heavily under-utilised, ancient mining complex in Huelva, Spain, from the Spanish government. The company was established to modernise these mines and immediately began building critical infrastructure to facilitate mass production.
As a long term shareholder I’d love to think that Shaun Bunn is our very own Hugh Matheson in the making.
