Investor update summary
14 May, 2026Project milestones and resource update
Achieved a maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) of 2.2 billion tonnes at over 5% TiO2, covering only 20% of the known mineralized area.
Drilling confirms the ore body extends well below 100m, with tests down to 400m, showing district-scale continuity and high purity.
Nearly 700 million tonnes of the resource are now in the indicated category, with ongoing drilling to upgrade more to measured and indicated.
Focused on expanding and upgrading resources at Thomas and Cosgrove prospects, targeting high-grade, near-surface zones.
No overburden or waste, enabling low-cost mining and straightforward beneficiation.
Processing and product development
Achieved up to 77% recovery in flotation and 98% leach efficiency, with concentrate grades regularly hitting 30% TiO2.
Process flow sheet is simple, using conventional technologies, with atmospheric leaching and minimal iron content reducing waste and acid consumption.
Can produce both anatase and rutile pigments, and easily convert TiO2 to titanium tetrachloride for metal production.
Initial bulk pigment samples are being prepared, with a marketing manager hired to engage end users.
Continuous piloting and engineering studies are planned for early next year, leading to feasibility and commercialization decisions.
Market positioning and strategic advantages
Pitfield offers a high-purity, low-carbon alternative to ilmenite, with natural anatase and rutile feedstock.
Titanium is a critical mineral for aerospace, defense, medical, and pigment sectors, with growing demand and tightening supply.
Project location benefits from excellent infrastructure, proximity to port, and access to green energy sources.
Strong government engagement and support, with access to critical minerals funding and strategic partnerships.
Dual listing on ASX is planned to attract institutional investment as the project advances.
