High Grade Epithermal Gold Intersected At Meseta

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
    • All within a broader intersection of 45.82m grading 1.40g/t Au. 2.13g/t Ag, 0.25% Zn from 4.35m

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.

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.

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.
