Pilbara Minerals seals another Chinese offtake deal

Not titanium but also part of the 'Critical' metals list

We are pleased to announce that Shaun Bunn (Managing Director) and Neil O'Brien (Non-Executive Chairman) will provide a live presentation on the #EEE Pitfield #Titanium Project, via @InvestorMeetCo on Tuesday 19 March 2024 at 12.30 p.m. GMT.

Neil also presenting alongside, normally it is only Shaun.

Live investor presentation in 6 days from today

"…confirmation that #titanium mineralisation is dominated by titanite, in such quantities from any previously reported world class titanium resource, has reinforced our belief we are dealing with an unprecedented discovery”

#EEE MD Shaun Bunn

Looks like Shaun's wearing new glasses recently...

Must be a titanium frame then!

The beauty of Titanite is it only requires a simple low temperature acid leaching process, therefore not energy intensive hence at relatively low cost. It is a calcium titanium nesosilicate mineral, whereas calcium typically can be acidized and removed rather straight forward.

Good point, we need listing on multiple stock markets

Managed to accumulate some more just now.

Would be rude not to imo :-)

Quite pleased with this morning's detailed RNS tbh

Plenty of hints for the big boys today ;-)

....

"This confirmation that the titanium mineralisation is dominated by titanite, in such quantities as to set Pitfield apart from any previously reported world class titanium resource, has further reinforced our belief that we are dealing with an unprecedented discovery, one that could provide a path for Empire to become a major supplier of 'rutile equivalent products' or even a significant TiO2 pigment producer in its own right."

Today marks a big milestone in Empire's Pitfield titanium development. Huge fundamentals are being put in place by Shaun and his team. Well done.

Today's RNS is a true differentiator imo.

*** No energy-intensive smelting is required ***

One of the key differences between the processing options being considered for the Pitfield titanite ore and those commonly found in the ilmenite industry is that a low temperature acid leach process is likely all that is needed to extract the titanium and produce a high-quality product. No energy-intensive smelting is required and a higher value product can be produced on-site.

Half one of 2025 will commence with the second stage of resource in-filling drilling expected to include approximately 2,000 metres of diamond core and up to 24,000 metres of RC drilling. Demonstration plant design and engineering will be undertaken, and the product specifications will be refined. The first half of 2025 will also see environmental and social permitting work commence. The target for the second half of 2025 will be to commence construction of the demonstration plant as well as undertake licencing and permitting for a small-scale mining operation.

Wow, great news out this morning!.....

"The final product from the leaching stage is expected to have a very high TiO2 concentration, approaching the same content as natural rutile (>95%), which would make it a highly desirable feedstock for a titanium dioxide pigment producer."

“The diamond core drilling, the second campaign of diamond drilling at Pitfield, represents the start of a major project development push, aimed at providing key samples for mineralogical and metallurgical characterisation”

Rio Tinto is definitely interested in TiO2, having acquired a large stake in a Madagascar titanium mine also only 6 months ago
