Titan Minerals Discovers New Shallow Gold and Silver Mineralisation at Dynasty

Titan Minerals Limited (Titan or the Company) is pleased to report the discovery of new shallow mineralisation at its wholly owned Dynasty Gold Project in southern Ecuador, as part of its ongoing 10,000m resource drilling program. The results significantly enhance the potential for resource growth at the project, with multiple high-grade intercepts returned from recent drilling at the Iguana prospect.

Significant Results Uncovered

Recent diamond drilling has identified previously untested zones of mineralisation, confirming extensions both near surface and at depth:

IGDD24-041:

2.6m @ 3.5 g/t Au, 21.5 g/t Ag from 26.8m

3.7m @ 2.5 g/t Au, 9.9 g/t Ag from 92.9m

IGDD24-036:

5.4m @ 2.3 g/t Au, 5.7 g/t Ag from 49.9m

2.3m @ 2.7 g/t Au, 5.9 g/t Ag from 212.1m

The intercepts from IGDD24-041 are particularly encouraging, as they confirm three mineralised veins at shallow depths in a previously undrilled area to the south of Iguana East. This discovery highlights the potential for rapid, shallow resource growth just beneath surface.

IGDD24-036 has extended mineralisation a further 50m below previous drilling, validating historic data and likely contributing to a future resource upgrade in the area.

Drilling Progress and Updated Geological Model

To date, 31 holes totalling 7,970 metres have been drilled out of the planned 10,000m program. Results have been received for 25 holes, with assays pending for the remaining six. Titan has also updated its 3D geological model to incorporate the latest data, which will inform a planned resource update.

Operational Outlook

Heavy rainfall in March temporarily suspended field activities. Drilling is scheduled to resume in late April, with an acceleration of activity planned to complete the remaining program.

CEO Comments

“We are pleased to deliver further extensional results from Iguana resource drilling which has confirmed shallow extensional resources in new areas. In fact, results returned from IGDD24-041 were both wider and higher grade than that returned from trenches at surface, which bodes well for targeting additional shallow resources, just below the surface at Iguana.”

“Despite a slowdown in drilling activities due to weather conditions, the geology team have used this time to clear the decks, review latest drill results, and in doing so have identified new targets that are set to be drill tested when drilling recommences in the coming two weeks.”

“Titan has a strong balance sheet with a clear runway to accelerate resource and exploration drill programs at Dynasty, while JV & Earn-in Partner, Hancock Prospecting, undertake a 10,000m porphyry copper drilling program at the Linderos Project to earn a 25% interest in the project.”

“We look forward to delivering exciting news on multiple fronts in the coming weeks ahead across our portfolio of large-scale gold and copper projects.”

Next Steps

With new targets identified, and assays pending from Cerro Verde, Titan remains focused on delivering resource growth at Dynasty and progressing its broader portfolio of gold and copper assets in Ecuador. Further updates are anticipated as assay results become available and drilling resumes.

About Titan Minerals
Titan Minerals is an emerging gold developer and copper explorer focused on uncovering Tier One deposits in Ecuador. With several large exploration projects in the country’s southern Andean copper belt, Titan has significant exposure to large-scale gold and copper in a highly prospective, yet underexplored part of the world. The Dynasty Gold Project hosts a substantial resource of 3.1 Moz gold and 22 Moz silver, with ongoing exploration confirming extensive mineralization beyond the current resource. A 10,000m drilling campaign is underway, targeting lateral and depth resource expansion, with an updated resource estimate expected by mid-2025. In September 2024, Titan was pleased to welcome Hancock Prospecting subsidiary company, Hanrine, as a JV & Earn-in Partner for their Linderos Copper Project, whereby Hanrine can earn up to 80% interest by investing up to $180M and reaching a decision to mine. Titan is free-carried until Hanrine reaches 80%. A 10,000m drilling program to explore Linderos copper porphyry potential commenced in late 2025, with consistent drill results anticipated in the coming months.
