Empire Metals Limited Announces Final Results
Final Results for the year ended 31 December 2024 LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / June 6, 2025 / Empire Metals Limited, (LON:EEE)(OTCQB:EPMLF), the AIM-quoted and OTCQB-traded exploration and development company, announces its final results for the year ended 31 December 2024. The annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 will be posted to shareholders today and will be available for download shortly from the Company's website, Highlights *The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. Shaun Bunn, Managing Director, said: 'Empire Metals has built on the exceptional momentum established in 2023, and we enter this next chapter with increased confidence in the scale, quality, and strategic importance of the Pitfield Titanium Project. The release of our maiden JORC Exploration Target*, estimating 26.4 to 32.2 billion tonnes at 4.5-5.5% TiO₂ in June 2024, confirmed Pitfield as the largest undeveloped titanium system globally and a key potential source of this critical metal. 'Our exploration strategy has focused on accelerated commercialisation, and this disciplined approach is now bearing fruit. The discovery of a significant zone of near-surface, high-grade, clean titanium dioxide minerals within the weathered saprolite layer - rich in rutile and anatase - presents a major opportunity to fast-track development. These minerals offer a lower-cost processing route and align with rising global demand for more sustainable titanium sources. 'Empire is in a strong financial position following two successful funding rounds in 2024, and a further raise in 2025, providing us with a current cash position of approximately £7 million. This support from the market not only validates our strategy but ensures we are well funded for our ongoing programmes, from resource definition to additional metallurgical testing as we move closer to commercialisation. 'Each milestone continues to de-risk Pitfield, both technically and geologically. The results to date have only strengthened our conviction that Pitfield is a once-in-a-generation discovery. As we progress towards commercialisation, our commitment to unlocking its full value has never been stronger. We look forward to another transformative year for Empire.'
