Empire Metals Ltd (AIM:EEE) Managing Director Shaun Bunn speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after releasing promising results from an airborne gravity survey flown recently at the resource exploration and development company's Pitfield Project in Western Australia.
Bunn says that the survey, of an area of titanium mineralisation, has illuminated crucial density variations within the anomaly that hint at high-grade mineralised zones. Empire is set to begin a fresh round of diamond drilling next month across three targets. The exploration work will be geared toward understanding the titanium discovery's depth and mineralogy, including launching metallurgical tests.
Notably, the gravity survey unveiled high-density trends to the east of previous drilling locations, leading to plans for a comprehensive reverse circulation program in pursuit of even more promising high-grade targets. Empire holds a 70% interest in Pitfield which is comprised of four granted Exploration Licences (E70/5465, E70/5876, E70/6320 and E70/6323) covering 1,042km2. Pitfield is located near Three Springs, a town 313km north of Perth, Western Australia on the Midlands Road, which until the opening of the Brand Highway in 1975 was the main road route from Perth to the state's north.
