Now is the time to stand firm. Empire is not just another AIM stock, we are on the road to becoming a global titanium powerhouse. With that comes noise, distractions, and the inevitable attempts to shake holders out. But let me tell you this, none of it changes the reality of what’s being built here, by industry experts with major industry expertise.

The AIM cesspit will throw its usual tricks, accusations, negativity, fake accounts popping up out of nowhere with 1 week post history trying to label people with years and years of solid post history. That’s not strength, that’s weak and desperate. Imagine the sadness of someone like Jane spending their time creating an alias just to try and sway opinion. That’s envy, plain and simple, and it has no place in our decision-making.

We’ve seen this before. Q1 2024 was a textbook attempt to derail momentum, a deliberate and coordinated effort to spread doubt. It didn’t work then, and it won’t work now.

Shares do not travel in a straight line. Dips, spikes, sells, they’re all part of the journey. Someone sold yesterday, good luck to them. But let’s be honest, it changes nothing about the company, the asset, or the future. Everyone and I genuinely mean this, should read yesterdays RNS again, do it even if you remember the majority of it. If you think big money sells always mean something, think again. I once bought straight after a 2.5m share sale. That seller subsequently lost £1.45m. My buy went up £495,000 and I remember people on that day too saying “why the sell”, “must be a problem”,”they must know something”. Empire have been water tight and nobody knows anything outside of what the board have told us. That’s the difference between fear and logic.

This market wants to manipulate you. It wants you nervous. It wants you second-guessing. Don’t let it. It will go up, down and sideways but the LT trend is the key. Look at the 3 year chart for example. Endless examples of down days but the trend is in an upward trajectory.

Hold strong if you believe, sell if you don’t but whatever you do, trust your own gut and instinct, nobody else’s. That’s where regret sits waiting.

Empire’s story is only just beginning, and when this momentum truly unfolds, I truly believe we’ll be glad we stood our ground.

We are not here for noise. We are here for titanium. We are here for the future.

Stay strong, stay united, the prize is ahead, not behind.

MeanS,

Post recommended.

Sensible commentary, devoid of emotion.

ML

To see all the wonderful advice from such knowledgeable people all of a sudden :-)

Incredible level of insight and detailed analysis. The same type of people who only posted when we dropped from 14p, when we dropped from 30p, when we dropped from 60p etc etc.......

As I've said, you earn your stripes on down days and look back at them from far higher SP's. Make no mistake, sellers are needed and are absolutely vital in achieving higher lows and higher highs going forward. Listen to forum cretins or mining experts with hundreds of years experience between them.

That's your choice and nobody else's.

I'm sticking with the experts for sure and will once again, like all times previously, roll my eyes with a wry smile thinking of those who have yet again, been parted of their hard earned.

The investor psyche is one that will never be understood properly, but one that the MM's will be forever grateful exists.

ML

George,

I don't even have to hazard a guess who is actively encouraging such cross-ramping, given my fanboy wedges my posts with green boxes of nothingness.

This imbecile has constantly, and i mean constantly disrupted the flow of this share chat board on every single RNS day. If people are hood winked into thinking he is anything other than a pest, then more fool them.

The less said the better so moving on..........................with Empire related posts.

ML

Seriously this is getting ridiculous!

If you want info on other tickers, go to that chat board.

👏🏼 📈

What a statement from Shaun today.

ML

The numbers are huge Doc - even conservatively 📈

ML

Thanks Ademcg 👍🏼

Never an issue sharing or reposting so work away.

@PJ70

I, along with Empire MGT are targeting 10% - 15% of the entire forecasted titanium industry by 2030 which is expected to be $30b. Let’s put it this way, it’s nowhere near the current SP.

Good to hear Petch! 👍🏼

And what a ride its been so far 📈

It’s important (for me anyway) to keep my decisions logic based on try to remove all emotion.

Earlier today I reassessed my position but under completely different circumstances to the reality of my position.

I’m remaining invested under the position of being flat in terms of profit & loss and holding 510,000 shares (-90% of actual holding).

On that basis, with solid fundamentals I’m a buyer and it’s got plenty left in the tank. We haven’t even scratched the surface of Pitfields potential.

Everyone will have their own targets, criteria, comfort levels etc. so please be sure to do your due diligence and research to ensure you have no regrets either way. If the heat is getting too much, get out of the kitchen 🔥 and for those with rock solid conviction, 12 months is a very short period of time to give you years of early retirement.

Personal Note:

I opened by thanking Shaun and Arabella for taking the time and for the continued efforts from both and the Empire team. I mentioned that as a shareholder I’ve been really positive on the progress to date and also highlighted the significant share price appreciation we’ve seen. I noted that there have been multiple comments from shareholders, many sharing how this investment has had a genuinely positive impact on their lives, in some cases life-changing. Both Shaun and Arabella acknowledged this feedback during the call and said how pleased they were to hear it. I felt it was important to convey what I have been hearing regularly over the last 3-6 months.

One thing I want to highlight, which may not be obvious to all current investors, is that outside of all the fundamentals, technical data, financing, and every other aspect of the company, the human side here is truly remarkable. It is extremely rare for a company CEO or Managing Director to meet directly with shareholders via Teams calls or email. What’s even more unusual is having the head of public relations and communications on the same call, giving us a direct line into the company and the board.

This interaction is valuable not just for understanding what they are telling us, but also for what we are able to communicate back. For example, I was able to highlight the likely heavy demand for any direct opportunity to participate in future fundraises, though, to be clear, there is absolutely no need for a fundraise at the moment, and that was made very clear. Arabella confirmed that our feedback has been noted, received, and will be considered, which is really all we can ask for as shareholders. We discussed other items also to which they both valued having the shareholder thoughts, views and opinions as that's how the company and shareholders collaborate for best results.

A sincere thank you to both Shaun and Arabella for taking the time and effort after what would have been a long day in Perth to join me on the call. They were back-to-back with meetings and had to jump off after just 30 minutes so I didn't get to discuss every topic I had however, I left the meeting very enthused and very comfortable. This interaction is very rare and speaks volumes about how the company is run, it’s a real testament to Empire Metals’ leadership from the top down.

Final Thoughts:

Essentially, after coming off the call guys, you know I’ve been very pro-Empire and the management team for a considerable period of time and rightly so in my opinion. However, again today just reaffirms my position as being unbelievably happy to be involved with Empire Metals and to be a current shareholder. For any shareholders out there, this is going to be one hell of a ride, short, mid, and long term and one we should all be incredibly excited about being part of.

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL AIM COMPANY and I would not treat it like a typical AIM company.

PR & Communications:

Arabella shared some insight into how the PR side is handled, and it’s clear that Empire is now approaching communications in a very professional and structured way. They have an established process for amplifying news through multiple channels, including the US and Europe, and they work with journalists and media outlets to ensure coverage reaches the right audience. Conferences like TZMI and Diggers & Dealers are part of the strategy, and Shaun will be speaking at some of these in Q4, which adds to the visibility of the company.

From my perspective, the PR is now crisp, professional, and highly effective. The messaging is consistent, the materials are well-prepared, and the team has clearly made a deliberate decision to step up the quality of communication. For shareholders, that level of professionalism is very reassuring, it reflects well on the company and adds confidence in how Empire is positioning itself in the market.

Arabella comes across as extremely professional. She communicates clearly and confidently, presenting herself with poise and credibility. I have no doubt she represents shareholders exceptionally well, whether at Empire-hosted events, corporate meetings, or during investor relations calls. Her professionalism consistently leaves a positive impression and she is an asset for us shareholders hoping to see this area of the company match our mining activities.

Overall Takeaways:

The main focus for everyone right now is the upcoming MRE, which Shaun emphasised will be a major milestone for Empire. He made it clear that the rollout is being carefully planned with full attention and fanfare, it’s not just another technical update, it’s a pivotal moment that will really showcase the project’s potential. As Shaun put it: “We plan to roll it out with trumpets and fanfare, and it won’t go out unnoticed, I can assure you.” (I noted a very big grin from Shaun at this point who was ultra confident and ultra calm. No drama, no hype, just confidence in what he and the team have at Pitfield.

This milestone highlights the strength of the team, the depth of planning, and the robustness of Empire’s position in the market. Shaun’s comments really underscored how well-prepared they are to make the most of this opportunity. Between strong operational control, structured funding strategies, professional PR, and a very capable team, the future looks incredibly bright. Shareholders should feel confident that the MRE is set to be a real showcase of everything Empire has achieved and a launchpad for the next phase of growth.

I'm truly excited at what's ahead for Empire and who we have driving the business forward.

CTD.....

He walked me through the mechanics with a lot of energy, explaining that Empire always retain ultimate control. Shaun highlighted that this setup is robust, highly structured, and designed to protect shareholders while allowing the project to move forward efficiently. He was very clear that the relationship with Century is hugely positive, collaborative, and constructive and that the team is conscious of maintaining a strong partnership while safeguarding the project’s success. I have no concerns about our 70/30 JV with Century, in fact I believe the structure was carefully designed to develop Empire and Pitfield.

Funding & Government Support:

I asked Shaun about funding and potential government support, particularly in relation to critical minerals. Shaun explained that Empire has ongoing engagement with both federal and state government agencies in Australia. They are already benefiting from research rebates, which return about 40% of qualifying expenditure, and partnerships with Curtin University and CSIRO effectively double the impact of technical studies which keep cash burn rates low and with plenty of benefits.

Looking further ahead, Shaun highlighted that once Empire moves toward feasibility and development decisions, there may be opportunities to access larger government programs, including critical minerals facilities. Importantly, he reassured me that there’s no immediate pressure to raise additional capital, as the company is WELL FUNDED for the current and next stages. The company are constantly monitoring opportunities, both in Australia and internationally, including potential UK or US programs to ensure they have flexibility and options for the next phase.

What I found particularly insightful was Shaun’s discussion on the geopolitical context. He talked about how governments including the US, UK, and Australia are increasingly focused on securing their own supply of critical minerals. With NATO requirements, fighter jets, and other defence needs, countries are realising that having independent access to strategic resources is hugely important. Shaun pointed out that this global shift in priorities and the heightened interest from multiple governments adds another layer of long-term potential for Empire. The world’s changed enormously over the past year in terms of supply security, and Empire is very well positioned in that space.

Overall, it’s a very proactive approach to managing funding and government relationships without unnecessary risk, while keeping an eye on major macro trends that could positively impact the project.

He was very confident about future financing options and I don't envisage any situation whereby we are chasing people for finance, the exact opposite is the case where we are likely to have the pick of the options on the table. That's my interpretation of this topic.

CTD...............

Hi all,

I wanted to share some of the key takeaways from my meeting with Shaun and Arabella earlier this morning. It was really positive stuff across the board and there’s a lot of excitement about where the company is heading, and it was clear how much effort the team is putting in to drive this project forward.

As always, all 3 parties agree to discuss only information that has already been publicly communicated via RNS or company interviews.

CEO Appointment:

I asked Shaun about the possibility of formally appointing a CEO and how that might work, whether it would require a board decision, shareholder approval, or both. Shaun explained that, at the moment, the company hasn’t prioritised restructuring at that level because the current setup is working exceptionally well. With Pitfield being the flagship project in Australia, Shaun as Managing Director oversees the operating team directly. He made it clear that this hands-on approach ensures that the operational side is being managed with precision and accountability, while Greg and Arabella seamlessly handle all finance, corporate, and investor relations matters with the boots on the ground team working exceptionally well together.

Shaun’s energy was clearly evident as he described how this setup is not just functional, but really allows the company to maintain agility while scaling. The non-exec chairman based in Toronto adds some obvious time zone challenges, but Shaun emphasised that these are managed efficiently, and that having such senior people involved demonstrates the credibility and growth of the company.

Importantly, Shaun acknowledged that as Empire approaches a half-billion market cap, the idea of a dedicated CEO could become relevant in the future. From the shareholder perspective, this would be a strong, positive signal and a reinforcement of the professionalism, maturity, and strategic direction of Empire Metals. Shaun clearly welcomed that feedback and confirmed it’s something the board will revisit as the company continues to grow.

Century Minerals JV (70/30 split):

There’s been a lot of curiosity about the 70/30 JV with Century Minerals, so I asked Shaun to clarify how it all works. Shaun explained with his usual clarity and enthusiasm that Empire retains full operational control at all times, and Century’s 30% stake is free-carried as part of the original arrangement. Their funding contribution comes into play in the near future, which makes sense given the structure. Shaun emphasised that Century’s involvement is valuable but passive, essentially providing geological expertise and industry knowledge.

CTD........

Went very well and will have full review and thoughts just after lunch.

Hi Rog,

FTSE AIM100 Index is open to both UK and international companies.

We’ll be included Sept 22nd.

Being on the list signals that Empire are now among the largest and most liquid stocks on AIM.

It boosts our reputation with institutions, brokers, analysts, and retail investors. Media and research coverage often expands for AIM100 companies and this can significantly broaden the shareholder base and improve liquidity.

Even before inclusion, the anticipation of entry can drive a rerating. and investors use the AIM100 index as a performance benchmark which certainly won’t be bad news for us. Our inclusion means the company is more likely to be compared against peers and included in broker reports which again will help attract new capital and raise awareness in the wider market.

It essentially confirms the company has grown in scale and value (bit like today’s RNS) and it reassures investors about financial strength, operations, and governance, making it more attractive for long-term holders.

That’s the plan anyway.

Very much looking forward to catching up with Shaun & Arabella tomorrow.

Willing buyers taking up any sales and in fairly chunky tranches. I know we haven’t seen a TR1 in months, but something tells me that these volumes and trades cannot be just Joe & Jane PI.

Anyone else feeling similar?

ML

Very kind Ultra 👍🏼

Thank you.
