Maiden JORC Resource At Dynasty Of 3.1Moz Gold And 22Moz Silver

Titan Minerals Limited (Titan or the Company) (ASX:TTM) is pleased to announce a first Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), which is reported in accordance with JORC (2012) on the Company’s 100% owned Dynasty Gold Project (Dynasty), in the Loja Province, southern Ecuador.


Key Highlights

  • Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 43.54 Mt at 2.23 g/t Au & 15.7 g/t Ag for a contained 3.12 million ounces of gold and 21.98 million ounces of silver1
  • Mineral Resources reported by area:
    • Cerro Verde: 28.8Mt @ 2.08 g/t Au, 13.00 g/t Ag for 1.92 Moz Au, 12.04 Moz Ag
    • Iguana: 10.9Mt @ 2.02 g/t Au, 13.68 g/t Ag for 0.71 Moz Au, 4.81 Moz Ag
    • Papayal: 2.9Mt @ 3.80 g/t Au, 39.31 g/t Ag for 0.36 Moz Au, 3.71 Moz Ag
    • Trapichillo: 0.9Mt @ 4.54 g/t Au, 50.85 g/t Ag for 0.13 Moz Au, 1.43 Moz Ag
  • Significant high-grade component of 17.3Mt @ 3.77 g/t Au, 24.0g/t Ag for a contained 2.09 million ounces of gold and 13.33 million ounces of silver2
  • Over half of Mineral Resources contained within 100 metres from surface
  • 39% Indicated and 61% Inferred Resources, with majority of Indicated resources at Cerro Verde, which is largely credited to the additional drilling and QAQC work completed by Titan over this area and gives confidence that the same classification can be achieved through moderate drilling and geological workstreams at other resource areas.
  • Papayal and Trapichillo vein systems exhibit extremely high gold and silver grades, albeit relatively low tonnes, which is largely a function of sparse drilling. These areas will be a focus for resource growth, with drilling set to commence in the coming months.
  • Dynasty Gold Project significantly derisked with completion of JORC compliant Mineral Resource, providing a robust 3D model for targeting resource growth and initiating future mine development studies.
  • Substantial depth extensions to the epithermal Au-Ag vein system confirmed to 350m in latest drill results at Brecha-Comanche (Cerro Verde), providing the confidence to test, and potentially add substantial resources through delineating depth extensions across the project.
  • Several high conviction areas for resource additions identified with minimal drilling required. Several significant drill intercepts were excluded from the resource due to uncertainty in geological interpretation in some areas. Minimal drilling required to improve geological understanding in these areas, representing potential near-term future resource additions.
  • Ongoing discussions with strategic investors for Dynasty and other projects progressing
Titan’s CEO Melanie Leighton commented:

“The completion of a JORC 2012 compliant Mineral Resource for Dynasty is a fantastic achievement, which represents a significant milestone. It is the culmination of a massive body of work, including validation of historical data, considerable QAQC, and 3D geological modelling. The integration of extensive qualitative and quantitative datasets has been instrumental in generating a robust mineral resource.

“The maiden JORC compliant MRE has not only verified, but substantially grown the previous NI43-101 resource, with 3.12M ounces of gold and 21.98M ounces of silver now contained in JORC resource estimates within the epithermal vein system, and even more impressive is that more than half of the resource sits within 100 metres from surface, with preliminary optimisation studies indicating robust economics for open pit and underground mining.

“Dynasty boasts a 9km epithermal corridor, seeded with porphyry targets, and drilling to date has only tested a portion- less than half- of the system. Titan is in a prime position to rapidly grow the resource, with resource extension drill testing set to commence in the coming month, along with the continuation of exploration work programs across priority targets identified in exploration work currently underway at the Papayal and Trapichillo prospects.

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. Notes Unusual Trading Activity and the Development of its New Website

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: WLR, "Walker Lane") announces that there has been unusual trading activity of its common shares that appeared to initiate on March 27, 2025 and appears to have occurred on each subsequent TSX-V trading day to current day. The recent stock trading activity does not reflect the health of our business or the recent significant value added assets to the property portfolio and adds to the previous undervaluation of the assets that were noted in a research report completed by Fundamental Research Corporation (see CMC Metals Ltd. press release - January 15, 2025). Management considers that some recent market transactions of its common shares could be an organized type of short selling tactic as we cannot determine any other explanation for the unusual downside trading activity.

Top 5 ASX Gold Stocks of 2025

Gold has continued to perform exceptionally well in 2025 and even broke through the AU$5,000 per ounce mark for the first time on April 1, when it reached a new all-time high of AU$5,034.

Markets have experienced significant volatility since the start of US President Donald Trump’s term. Tariff threats have created unease among US allies attempting to avoid a full-scale trade war with the world’s largest economy.

The rising gold price also coincides with increasing tensions in the Middle East, where attacks against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have intensified. These and other circumstances have prompted investors to seek the safe haven of gold, leading the yellow metal to repeatedly hit new record-high prices throughout the year.
