Empire Metals (EPMLF) Stock News

Empire Metals Limited has achieved a significant breakthrough in its Pitfield Project in Western Australia, producing an exceptionally high-purity titanium dioxide (TiO2) product with 99.25% purity through conventional beneficiation, leaching, and refining processes. The product, derived from mineral flotation concentrates from the project's weathered cap, contains minimal impurities and is suitable for high-quality titanium sponge metal or titanium dioxide pigment production. The company utilized an acid bake-water leach process with sulfuric acid, conducting tests at ALS Metallurgy laboratories in Perth. The process involved multiple stages including wet scrubbing, gravity separation, froth flotation, acid leaching, hydrolysis, and calcination. The Pitfield Project, strategically located 313km north of Perth, benefits from existing infrastructure including port connections, power substations, and proximity to planned green energy facilities.

Empire Metals Limited (EPMLF) announced its final results for 2024, highlighting the Pitfield Project as the world's largest titanium discovery with a JORC Exploration Target of 26.4-32.2 billion tonnes at 4.5-5.5% TiO₂. The company reported a breakthrough discovery of near-surface saprolite zones rich in high-grade anatase and rutile, achieving 91.7% TiO₂ product purity through conventional processing methods. With a strong cash position of £7 million as of May 2025, Empire has strengthened its technical team and board with industry experts. The company's focus on strategic titanium development aligns with accelerating global demand in aerospace, defense, and pigment markets.
