Titan Minerals Limited (Titan or the Company) (ASX:TTM) is pleased to provide results from the first two diamond drill holes from the Company’s maiden drilling campaign at the Copper Ridge Porphyry prospect at the Linderos Project in southern Ecuador.

Key Highlights include:

• Wide intervals of mineralised porphyry intersected from shallow depths in diamond drilling at Copper Ridge, with significant results including:
  
  • 308m grading 0.4% Copper Eq¹ from 54m downhole in CRDD22-003,
    
    • including a higher-grade intercept of 76m grading 0.5% Copper Eq from 132m downhole; and
  • 91m grading 0.4% Copper Eq from 484m downhole in CRDD22-003- mineralised to end of hole, and remains open
  • 52m grading 0.3% Copper Eq from 82m downhole in CRDD22-001
• Key geological and geochemical datasets are being assembled to facilitate Phase 2 drill planning at Copper Ridge

“Weareverypleasedtohavemetwithsuch success on our maiden drilling campaign at Copper Ridge, with results now confirming the presence of wide intervals of mineralised porphyry, with significant copper, molybdenum, gold and silver returned from shallow depths and extending to the end of hole in CRDD22-003.”

Linderos Project– Copper Ridge Porphyry Prospect Initial Drilling Results

The Company has completed a maiden campaign comprising eight diamond drill holes for a total of 3,700 metres at the Copper Ridge Porphyry prospect (Copper Ridge) on its Linderos Project in Southern Ecuador. Drilling was designed to target porphyry mineralisation highlighted by surface mapping and geochemistry, and limited historical drilling undertaken at the prospect.

Pleasingly, diamond drilling has been successful in intersecting wide intervals of disseminated and vein hosted porphyry style chalcopyrite-molybdenite-pyrite±pyrrhotite mineralisation from shallow depths.
