Empire Metals Limited (EEE:AIM) delivers an encouraging investor update, revealing a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Pitfield titanium project of 2.2 billion tonnes, representing one of the world’s largest high-grade titanium deposits with remarkable continuity and resource drilled over 400 metres. The company highlights its strategic advantage in supplying premium feedstock — naturally occurring anatase and rutile with very low levels of impurities — thereby avoiding the energy-intensive upgrading and carbon footprint associated with conventional ilmenite-derived supply. With strong infrastructure access near Perth, supportive Australian and international regulatory environments, and a recently completed £7 million equity raise boosting cash reserves to £11 million, Empire Metals is well positioned to advance its growth strategy. Planned next steps include expanded drilling campaigns to upgrade much of the resource to measured and indicated status, continuous pilot-scale processing commencing early 2026, and marketing of high-purity titanium pigments and potential metal feedstock. As demand for secure, high-grade titanium increases globally — particularly from aerospace, defence, energy and paints industries — this low-cost, scalable, Western-jurisdiction supply chain positions Pitfield as a compelling long-term value opportunity for investors.
