Massive High-Grade Core Confirmed at Thomas
Empire Metals Limited has announced significant drilling results from its Thomas Prospect at the Pitfield Project in Western Australia, confirming a high-grade titanium core extending over 6.25km² to an average depth of 47m. The campaign, comprising 178 drill holes totaling 9,816 meters, yielded exceptional TiO₂ grades, with multiple intercepts averaging close to or exceeding 8% TiO₂ and a peak intercept of 2m at 21.44% TiO₂. These findings are expected to support a substantial Mineral Resource Estimate upgrade in Q3 2026, providing a basis for future mine planning and engineering studies. Assay results for the Cosgrove Prospect and exploration drilling are still pending. Disclaimer*
