Empire Wins Exploration Discovery of the Year Award
Empire Metals Limited (LON: EEE, OTCQX: EPMLF), is pleased to announce it has been awarded the Exploration Discovery of the Year Award at Resourcing Tomorrow’s Outstanding Achievement Awards Ceremony, in London, for its Pitfield titanium project, located in Western Australia.
The Exploration Discovery of the Year Award is presented to the projects identified in the past 12 months as having the greatest potential to develop into significant mines.
During this time, Empire has demonstrated the immense potential of the Pitfield project through a product development testwork programme, which delivered a very high-purity TiO2 product assaying at 99.25% TiO2, in addition to a series of successful drill campaigns. These resulted in the recently announced Mineral Resource Estimate of 2.2 billion tonnes grading 5.1% TiO2 for 113 million tonnes of contained TiO2, confirming Pitfield as one of the largest and highest titanium resources reported globally.
Empire was delighted to be recognised for this award, alongside FTSE 100 Endeavour Mining plc.

About Empire Metals Limited
Empire Metals Ltd (AIM: EEE and OTCQX: EPMLF) is an exploration and resource development company focused on the commercialisation of the Pitfield Titanium Project, located in Western Australia. The titanium discovery at Pitfield is of unprecedented scale and hosts one of the largest and highest-grade titanium resources reported globally, with a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) totalling 2.2 billion tonnes grading 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. The MRE extends across just 20% of the known mineralised footprint, providing substantial potential for further resource expansion.
Conventional processing has already produced a high-purity product grading 99.25% TiO₂, suitable for titanium sponge metal or pigment feedstock. With excellent logistics and established infrastructure, Pitfield is strategically positioned to supply the growing global demand for titanium and other critical minerals.
