Titan Minerals Limited (Titan or the Company) (ASX:TTM) is pleased to provide results from the Company’s maiden drilling at the Meseta Gold prospect (Meseta), at the Linderos Project in southern Ecuador.
Key Highlights include:
- Recent drilling at Meseta proves that a shallow intermediate-sulphidation epithermal gold system exists adjacent to the recently discovered Copper Ridge Porphyry system.
- Several high-grade gold, silver and base metal epithermal veins intersected from shallow depths, with significant results including:
1. MGDD22-010:
- 7.22m grading 13.77g/t Au, 12.90g/t Ag, 0.15% Cu, 0.38% Zn from 66.28m, including higher grade intercepts of:
- 0.92m grading 31.50g/t Au, 24.30g/t Ag, 0.25% Cu from 68.28m: and
- 0.58m grading 99.80g/t Au, 89.90g/t Ag, 0.98% Cu, 0.31% Zn
- All within a broader intersection of 76.5m grading 1.41g/t Au. 5.63g/t Ag, 0.27% Zn from surface
2. MGDD22-012:
- 4.88m grading 12.87g/t Au, 6.04g/t Ag, 0.11 % Cu, 0.41% Zn from 41.0m, including a higher grade intercept of:
- 1.64m grading 33.35g/t Au, 11.28 g/t Ag, 0.23% Cu, 0.72% Zn from 44.24m

3. MGDD22-001:
- 4.64m grading 5.00g/t Au, 10.33g/t Ag, 0.39% Zn, 0.19% Pb from 51.7m
4. MGDD22-003
- 5.76m grading 3.72g/t Au, 48.69g/t Ag, 0.25% Zn, 0.28% Pb from 36.54m, including a higher grade intercept of:
- 0.73m grading 11.35g/t Au, 73.30 g/t Ag, 0.84% Zn, 1.24% Pb from 37.35m
- Meseta is the first of several epithermal gold targets defined by Titan’s reconnaissance works within the Linderos Project to be drill tested, with high priority prospects proximal to porphyry copper-gold sources driving epithermal gold mineralisation.
Titan’s CEO Melanie Leighton commented:
“These are exciting results for Titan which confirm the potential for significant high-grade gold, silver and base metals at the Linderos Project. The results demonstrate that the causal intrusion responsible for the recently discovered Copper Ridge porphyry system, is also the plumbing to the Meseta intermediate sulphidation epithermal system.”
“In many cases these high-grade epithermal vein systems have been eroded, and all that remains is the porphyry source. So, we’re excited that the Meseta epithermal mineralisation remains preserved, adjacent to its source, the Copper Ridge porphyry system, where recent drilling has demonstrated the potential for significant copper-gold porphyry mineralisation from shallow depths.”
“We feel that we’re onto something big here, with our maiden drilling campaigns at both Meseta and Copper Ridge delivering promising results, and plenty of scope for extending mineralisation with strong vectors towards higher grade gold, silver and copper mineralisation.”
“We now have a pipeline of high conviction targets to feature in forthcoming exploration work programs in 2023.”
Linderos Project Drilling Results
The Company is pleased to provide results from its maiden drilling campaign completed in late 2022 at the Meseta Gold prospect (Meseta), at the company’s 100% held Linderos Project in southern Ecuador.
Drilling was successful in intersecting multiple pyrite-sphalerite-arsenopyrite±galena massive sulphide veins, with several significant intersections of high grade gold and silver returned, along with significant intersections of silver-zinc-±lead±gold±copper. Significant intersections are included in table 1, and illustrated in figures 1, 2, and 3.
The Meseta Gold prospect displays metal zonation and alteration assemblages typical of intermediate sulphidation systems related to proximal porphyry systems, with outcropping porphyry mineralisation identified and drill tested at the Copper Ridge Porphyry prospect (Copper Ridge) less than 500 metres to the south of Meseta (refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3).
Table 1 details significant intersections for gold, silver, copper, zinc, and lead returned from the Company’s maiden drilling at Meseta, where pleasingly 12 out of 14 holes intersected polymetallic massive sulphide mineralisation.
Plate 1: MGDD22-006 (35.74m). Quartz diorite with shear zone infilled by massive pyrite, sphalerite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and galena, with a halo of sericite and illite-smectite.

Providence Gold Mines Inc. Options La Dama de Oro Gold Property
Providence Gold Mines Inc. (“Providence” or the “Company”) announces that subject to Regulatory approval it has entered an option agreement to acquire the “La Dama de Oro Gold Property”. The property is a historical gold mine 100% owned by the Optionor, (” Mohave Gold Mining”), a private Company incorporated under the laws of the state of California.
Providence recently commissioned Ethos Geological Inc. of Bozeman MT to complete an NI 43 101 technical report, authored by Zachary Black, SME-RM acting as the Qualified Person under NI 43 101. The NI 43 101 technical report has been submitted for Exchange review and approval. A cautionary note: The property is at an early exploration stage and does not have sufficient data for a mineral resource.
The La Dama de Oro Property is situated in the Silver Mountain Mining District, within the structurally complex Eastern California Shear Zone and the intersection with the San Andreas Fault Zone. Bedrock geology includes Mesozoic quartz monzonite that intrudes the Jurassic Sidewinder Volcanics. The structural history of the region implies a sequence of compressional and extensional events that reactivated favorably oriented zones of weakness for the circulation of hydrothermal fluids. The main zone of mineralization is hosted by the La Dama de Oro Fault, a shallow northeast-dipping oblique-slip fault.
The mineralization at the property is classified as a structurally controlled, low-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver vein system. Gold and silver mineralization is associated with multi-phase quartz veining, brecciation, and pervasive hydrothermal alteration along the La Dama de Oro Fault. The largest known vein is 4.5 feet at its widest point and remains open to exploration, with the potential for additional undiscovered veins along the fault system. The property has an approved exploration permit that includes a bulk sample.
The Option entitles the Company the right to purchase 100% of the La Dama de Oro Gold Property under the following terms:
YEAR 1
Within 15 days of Regulatory approval the Company shall issue 2,000,000 common shares from treasury and incur $20,000 in expenditures within 12 months of the effective date.
YEAR 2
The Company shall issue an additional 2,000,000 common shares from treasury and incur $250,000 in expenditures before the second-year anniversary of the effective date
YEAR 3
The Company shall issue an additional 500,000 common shares from treasury and incur a further $250,000 in expenditures before the third-year anniversary date of the effective date
YEAR 4
The Company shall incur an additional $250,000 expenditures before the fourth-year anniversary of the effective date
Ronald A. Coombes, President & CEO of Providence commented; “The best place to explore for gold is where gold is, with the rich historical history of past gold production at the La Dama de Oro mine there remains very good discovery potential”.
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Zachary Black, SME-RM, a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101. Mr. Black is a consultant and is independent of Providence Gold Mines Inc.

ESGold Pens Colombia Tailings Project Deal as Global Reprocessing Grows
ESGold (CSE:ESAU,OTCQB:ESAUF,FSE:Z7D) has signed a binding memorandum of understanding with Colombian firm Planta Magdalena to form a 50/50 joint venture on a fully permitted gold and silver bearing tailings project.
Under the agreement, ESGold will invest C$1.5 million for its stake and will retain first right of refusal to acquire the remaining 50 percent interest from Planta Magdalena within 12 months.
The project is designed to replicate ESGold’s Montauban model in Québec, which focuses on generating cashflow by reprocessing legacy tailings, while providing environmental remediation.
Preliminary due diligence sampling of 27 tailings collected from the project, located in Colombia's Bolívar department, returned encouraging results, including assays of 42.7 grams per metric ton (g/t) gold and 280 g/t silver.
Several samples exceeded 5 g/t gold and 190 g/t silver, highlighting the potential for high-grade recovery.
Bulk concentrate tests are underway, with final verification to be completed at ACTLABS in Québec.
Bolívar is one of Colombia’s most prolific gold regions, with artisanal miners processing an estimated 300,000 metric tons of ore annually. ESGold, a self-described scalable clean mining and exploration innovation company, plans to apply modern, mercury-free recovery methods to improve yields while addressing environmental concerns.
“The region still processes hundreds of thousands of metric tons of ore annually, yet much of it is handled using rudimentary mercury amalgamation methods that leave behind a substantial amount of gold and silver in the tailings,” said Gordon Robb, CEO of ESGold. “This creates an immense opportunity for ESGold to apply modern, environmentally responsible recovery technology that can significantly improve yields while remediating legacy mine sites.”
Pending completion of technical and legal due diligence, ESGold aims to fast track the project toward production in 2026, establishing a second high-margin operation alongside Montauban.
Green revenue stream
It is estimated that there are 8,500 tailings facilities around the globe, holding more than 217 billion cubic meters of mine "waste." In an effort to reduce the amount of stored tailings and their environmental impact, tailings reprocessing is emerging as both an economic and sustainable revenue stream.
By extracting valuable residual metals, such as gold, copper and critical minerals, from legacy waste, companies can generate revenue while reducing the environmental footprint of tailings facilities.
The approach also aligns with sustainability goals, as it mitigates risks like tailings dam failures and restores degraded sites, turning longstanding liabilities into productive assets
Globally, the growing recognition of untapped value in tailings has spurred renewed interest and investment, with major miners — like Vale (NYSE:VALE) — and governments prioritizing tailings projects as part of circular mining strategies and critical minerals security.

Why Juniors Gain in a Soaring Precious Metals Market
The precious metals market is in the midst of a powerful upswing. The gold price has surged beyond US$3,300 per ounce, silver is pushing toward US$38 per ounce — reaching its highest levels in over a decade — and copper has seen renewed investor interest on the back of long-term supply deficit forecasts.
These moves have set off a chain reaction across the mining investment spectrum.
In a rising precious‑metals environment, the initial beneficiaries are the senior producers, whose revenues rise quickly as metal prices move higher. As their valuations improve, however, capital tends to flow down the chain to junior exploration companies, which offer the greatest leverage to a bullish market.
Spotlight on juniors
Junior explorers are relatively small, agile companies focused on discovery rather than production. With valuations tied almost entirely to exploration potential, they tend to be more volatile, but in a bull market, that volatility often works in their favour. Strong commodity prices make it easier to raise capital, the market places a premium on drill results, and well-funded majors are more inclined to acquire promising deposits to replenish reserves.
Historical cycles show that juniors have significantly outperformed larger peers during sustained uptrends, delivering more than double the average annual return, albeit with greater risk.
Bull market infographic: rising precious metal prices and capital for junior explorers.
This dynamic is currently playing out in the market.
Petratherm (ASX:PTS) delivered a 1,929 percent year‑to‑date share price gain following a major titanium discovery at its Rosewood deposit, lifting its market capitalization from about AU$5 million to around AU$123 million.
Harvest Gold (TSXV:HVG) has gained approximately 175 percent year-to-date, climbing from the mid-$0.05 range to about $0.14 after launching a 5,000-metre diamond drill program at its Mosseau gold project in Québec, where it has identified 15 primary and 10 secondary drill targets following government approvals. These gains underscore the multiplier effect of a strong metals market combined with meaningful exploration news.
Not all juniors are created equal
Despite headline-grabbing gains, not all juniors are benefitting equally. A significant portion remains constrained by limited treasury, a crowded market and execution risk.
This is why selectivity is critical. Well-funded juniors with strong assets, clear drill plans and proven technical teams are positioned to capture disproportionate gains when catalysts hit.
Equity Metals: Positioned to outperform
Equity Metals' resource expansion in BC: silver, gold, copper prospects; new drilling in 2025. No royalties.
Source: Equity Metals' August 2025 corporate presentation.
Equity Metals (TSXV:EQTY,OTCQB:EQMEF) is one such example. The company’s flagship Silver Queen project in BC is a high-grade, district-scale silver-equivalent asset. When Equity assumed management, it identified clear opportunities to expand the resource, prioritizing targets with the greatest potential impact.
A December 2022 NI 43-101 resource update validated that approach, boosting the resource to 62.8 million silver-equivalent (AgEq) ounces indicated at an average grade of 565 g/t AgEq, and 22.5 million ounces inferred at 365 g/t AgEq, based on a C$100 per tonne NSR cut off and conservative long-term metal prices.
The 2025 drill program has already returned standout results from the No. 3 North target, including 3.5 meters grading 536 g/t AgEq and a sub-interval of 0.7 meters averaging 1,374 g/t AgEq. These intercepts confirm the continuity of mineralization and point to meaningful additions in the resource update planned for late 2025. Beyond No. 3, the property hosts more than 20 identified veins across a 6 km² area, many still underexplored.
Ongoing drilling at Camp, Sveinson and George Lake targets aims to replicate the resource growth achieved at No. 3 and link mineralized zones into a larger district-scale system.
The company’s Arlington project, also in BC, is a district-scale gold-copper-silver property with multiple targets analogous to historically productive mines. In a strong metals market, Arlington offers diversification and optionality, with drilling underway and assays pending. Both projects are backed by fully funded 2025 exploration programs, allowing the company to advance aggressively without immediate financing pressure.
Equity Metals’ progress shows how a focused strategy, strong technical execution, and disciplined capital use can unlock significant value from high-grade assets. With multiple targets set for drilling this year and a resource update ahead, the company is positioned to benefit from both project-level advancements and the broader bull market tailwinds.
Investor takeaway
The current precious metals bull market is creating fertile ground for junior explorers. Capital is rotating into higher-beta names, financings are increasing, and discovery stories are being rewarded with rapid re-ratings.
Companies like Petratherm and Harvest Gold illustrate the upside potential, but Equity Metals — with its high-grade Silver Queen resource, district-scale Arlington project, and active drill programs — offers a compelling example of a junior positioned to ride the wave.
For investors, the lesson is clear: in a bull market, the right junior can deliver leveraged exposure to rising metals prices when backed by geological quality, execution discipline, and timely catalysts.
