Titan Mining Corporation confirmed district-wide germanium enrichment across its 100%-owned Empire State Mines property, establishing the critical mineral as a system-wide characteristic rather than a localized occurrence. Sampling across six underground ore bodies and two historic tailings facilities within the Balmat-Edwards mineral system revealed elevated germanium levels in both primary zinc ore and historic tailings. The company identified priority targets including the Number 4 tailings facility, estimated at 18.8 million short tons, and the Edwards tailings facility, estimated at 4.97 million short tons.

Priority Targets and Sample Results

The characterization program identified significant germanium values at several locations. The Number 4 tailings facility yielded five samples ranging from 18.1 to 31.3 ppm, while the Edwards tailings facility returned two samples ranging from 30.1 to 44.7 ppm. Additionally, the current mineral resource estimate at Mud Pond Main, totaling 600,000 short tons, showed three samples ranging from 4.5 to 85.6 ppm.

Program Overview and Next Steps

Titan Mining completed a targeted sampling program to evaluate germanium as a recoverable by-product. Three samples were collected from each of the six underground ore bodies within the zinc Mineral Resource Estimate. Auger sampling collected five samples from the Number 4 Tailings and two samples from the Edwards Tailings. The company stated that current germanium prices are approximately US$6,000/kg, with demand expected to grow from semiconductor, AI, defense, and fiber optic technologies.

The next phase of the program will focus on prioritization based on existing data, mineral deportment and mineralogical studies to identify host mineral phases, and recovery test work to evaluate processing options. Deportment studies are currently underway to determine the most capital-efficient recovery pathway.
