Empire Metals develops TiO2 product with 99.25% purity
Empire Metals has announced the successful development of a high-purity titanium dioxide (TiO₂) product, achieving a 99.25% assay through conventional processes. This breakthrough is expected to be suitable for high-quality titanium sponge metal or high-grade titanium dioxide pigment production. The high-purity TiO₂ product, developed from the Pitfield project in Western Australia, contains negligible levels of impurities. The project features a significant gravity and magnetics anomaly. It has shown better continuity in grades of in-situ mineralised beds, the company said. The Pitfield project is strategically located and benefits from existing infrastructure connections including access to port, power and gas pipelines, as well as proximity to a planned green energy hydrogen fuel hub. Empire Metals has delivered bulk samples from Pitfield's weathered cap to a metallurgical laboratory to produce multiple finished product samples for marketing. The Pitfield titanium project is notable for its scale, with an exploration target declared in 2024, estimating a substantial quantity of TiO₂-rich mineralisation. The company is now focused on accelerating the economic development of Pitfield to capitalise on the deposit's full value potential. Empire Metals managing director Shaun Bunn said: 'We have achieved an extraordinary outcome from our most recent product development test work, which has delivered an exceptional high-grade, high-purity TiO₂ product that should be ideal for either titanium sponge metal or high-quality TiO₂ pigment production. 'It is remarkable that our technical team has so rapidly produced a high-purity TiO₂ product. We believe this not only highlights the effectiveness of our processing approach but also underscores the potential value of our product. 'Metallurgical testing and process optimisation continues, and with the availability of the 70 tonnes of bulk sample collected in February we will now be able to significantly scale up the test work and produce a variety of final product samples to share with prospective downstream end-users." The company's vision is to produce a high-value titanium metal or pigment-quality product from Pitfield. Empire Metals also operates additional exploration projects in Australia and precious metals projects in Austria.

China's rare earth exports increase 23% in May, reaching yearly high
China, the world's largest producer of rare earth minerals, reported a significant 23% increase in exports in May compared with April, despite the implementation of export curbs on certain critical minerals, according to a Reuters report. This surge brought the total to 5,864 tonnes (t), the highest monthly figure in a year. The rise in exports comes amidst global manufacturing disruptions due to shortages caused by China's export restrictions. The export curbs, introduced in April, did not affect all types of rare earth products that China exports. Detailed data on the impact of these restrictions is expected to be released on 20 June, the report said. Last month's data indicated that magnet exports halved in April, leading to production halts in several European auto parts plants and semiconductor companies warning of imminent production disruptions. In the first five months of 2025, exports of the group of 17 minerals saw a slight increase to 24,827t from 24,266.5t in the previous year, according to customs data. This marginal growth occurred even as China's coal industry grapples with an oversupply issue, resulting in a 42% year-on-year increase in mine stockpiles and a 25% annual rise in inventories at northern Bohai area ports. The oversupply in coal is attributed to a significant expansion in production, which was a response to the energy shortages and blackouts experienced in 2021. With China housing the world's largest thermal power fleet, the country is producing more coal than it can consume. Power plants are now being urged to purchase coal from these northern ports to alleviate the high stockpile levels and support miners, as informed by three sources familiar with the matter.

Rebuilding trust and simplifying insurance will win over the next generation
A GlobalData poll has highlighted that insurers targeting younger generations are struggling with deep-rooted issues, such as low levels of trust and limited understanding of insurance products. Meanwhile, a survey by Insurance Europe—in collaboration with the European Youth Parliament (EYP)—found that younger consumers want insurance to be simpler, more-digital, and better tailored to their specific needs. A GlobalData poll conducted on Life Insurance International in Q1 2025 found that either a lack of understanding of the value of insurance (39.7%) or a lack of trust in insurance providers (27%) were the key challenges in selling insurance to Gen Z and millennials. This was followed by lack of seamless, digital-first purchase experiences (13.2%) and complexity of traditional policy structures (8%). Meanwhile, a new survey by Insurance Europe and the EYP, which gathered responses from 651 young people across 33 European countries, found that many described the process of buying insurance as overly complicated and burdened by paperwork. The findings showed that 57% of respondents did not find purchasing insurance to be an easy process. Additionally, seven in 10 expressed a desire for clearer and more-consumer-friendly information. A lack of financial education was also a recurring theme, with 82% stating they had not received sufficient education at school to make informed decisions about insurance. Despite these challenges, the survey found that 82% were willing to pay more for better coverage and benefits; suggesting that product quality is a higher priority than price for many young consumers. This points to an opportunity for insurers to build stronger engagement with younger demographics by focusing on tailored, value-rich products that offer clarity and relevance, rather than simply competing on cost. Overall, if insurers want to gain long-term traction with Gen Z and millennials, they must rebuild trust through transparency, simplify the purchasing journey, and prioritise education, alongside product innovation.
