Overview
Following the discovery of high-grade, laterally extensive titanium minerals on a scale of global significance, Empire is now accelerating the economic development of Pitfield through targeted drilling, resource growth and technical studies.
The titanium discovery at Pitfield is of an unprecedented scale, hosting one of the largest and highest-grade titanium deposits reported globally, with a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) totalling 2.2 billion tonnes with a grading of 5.1% TiO₂ for 113 million tonnes of contained TiO₂.
Titanium mineralisation at Pitfield occurs from surface and displays exceptional grade continuity along strike and down dip, supporting the potential for a large, long-life operation The MRE covers only the top 70m and extends across just 20% of the known mineralised footprint, providing substantial potential for further resource expansion. Conventional processing has produced a high-purity product grading 99.25% TiO₂, suitable for both titanium sponge metal or pigment feedstock.
The presence of a thick, friable, in-situ weathered zone supports low-cost, strip mining without the need for blasting or overburden removal. With excellent logistics and established infrastructure, including rail links to deep-water ports, which have direct access to Asia, the USA, Europe and Saudi Arabia, Pitfield is ideally positioned to supply the growing global demand for titanium and other critical minerals.
