Titan Mining Confirms District-Wide Germanium Enrichment
AI Summary
Titan Mining Corporation provided an update on its germanium evaluation program at the Empire State Mines property, confirming district-wide enrichment across the Balmat-Edwards mineral system. Elevated germanium was found in both primary zinc ore and historic tailings, establishing it as a characteristic of the system rather than a localized occurrence. The company has identified priority targets, including significant tonnages at Number 4 and Edwards tailings facilities, and Mud Pond Main, with high germanium concentrations. Titan plans further work focusing on prioritization, mineral deportment studies, and recovery test work, driven by strong current germanium pricing.
Key Highlights
- District-wide germanium enrichment confirmed across six underground ore bodies and two historic tailings facilities.
- Number 4 tailings show 18.8 million short tons with 18.1 to 31.3 ppm germanium.
- Edwards tailings show 4.97 million short tons with 30.1 to 44.7 ppm germanium.
- Mud Pond Main has 600,000 short tons with 4.5 to 85.6 ppm germanium.
- Current germanium prices are approximately US$6,000/kg.
- Next steps include prioritization, mineral deportment studies, and recovery test work.
