Titan Minerals (ASX:TTM) extends high-grade gold and silver zones at Dynasty

Titan Minerals (ASX:TTM) has delivered further encouraging results from ongoing drilling at its 100%-owned Dynasty Gold Project in southern Ecuador, reinforcing expectations that the project’s resource base will grow meaningfully in the coming update scheduled for early 2026.

Highlights

• Multiple wide, high-grade intercepts at the Brecha-Comanche target, including 6.1m at 7.1 g/t gold and 88 g/t silver from 255.9m.

• New bulk-style mineralisation defined at the Kaliman porphyry target, highlighted by 153m at 0.5 g/t gold and 1.9 g/t silver from 61m.

• Mineralisation now confirmed to extend to depths of around 600m below surface.

• The updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for Dynasty is expected in Q1 2026, with 6,000m of drilling still to be completed.

• Titan remains well-funded following a US$10 million investment from Lingbao Gold, which has also commenced a 90-day exclusivity period for due diligence on a potential project-level transaction.

Expanding the footprint at Cerro Verde

Drilling across the Cerro Verde prospect continues to reveal mineralisation wider and more continuous than the vein-hosted structures previously modelled in the July 2023 MRE.

At Brecha-Comanche, hole CVDD25-143 produced an impressive suite of gold-silver intervals, while results at Kaliman confirmed the presence of both vein and porphyry-style systems.

The identification of bulk zones within or adjacent to diorite porphyry units marks a notable development in understanding the deposit.

These broader mineralised envelopes contrast with the narrow epithermal veins typically encountered and could enhance the scale and economics of any future operation.

At Kaliman, the company intersected extensive porphyry-hosted mineralisation from shallow depths, offering potential for favourable mining conditions.

Historic and new drill results demonstrate continuity and grade persistence, indicating that both the porphyry and epithermal systems remain open at depth and along strike.

Understanding the evolution of Dynasty

Chief Executive Officer Melanie Leighton said the recent results represent an evolution in geological understanding at Dynasty.

“We now know that there is an opportunity to capture large zones of bulk mineralisation in diorite porphyry units, as opposed to the typical narrow vein-hosted mineralisation. The addition of bulk gold mineralisation will complement the high-grade vein and shear-hosted mineralisation and will most likely improve strip ratios and overall economics for the Dynasty Gold Project.”

This shift in geological interpretation is supported by drilling that has successfully extended mineralisation to 600m below surface.

The updated model incorporates disseminated and stockwork-style zones, while additional infill drilling is improving confidence in the higher-grade zones to support future ore reserve studies.

Advancing toward the next resource milestone

An 8,000m diamond program is underway at Cerro Verde, which currently holds nearly two-thirds of Dynasty’s 3.1 million ounce gold and 22 million ounce silver resource base.

Independent consultants from Entech Mining have completed site visits and model reviews, while metallurgical testwork has achieved gold recoveries of 85–88% for oxide ore and 91% for sulphide ore using conventional processing methods.

Supporting infrastructure studies are also progressing, with Knight Peisold completing tailings and waste facility design options within Titan Mineral’s tenement boundaries.

Environmental baseline work continues as part of ongoing compliance and preparation for future large-scale mining permits.

With gold trading near record highs and silver showing renewed strength, Titan is positioned to leverage its expanded understanding of the Dynasty system.

The company’s strengthened balance sheet and partnership with Lingbao Gold provide a clear pathway to advance drilling, update resources, and commence mine studies.

For investors tracking emerging mid-tier gold producers, Dynasty’s combination of scale, grade, and geological diversity sets it apart in the Andean region, an established jurisdiction for both epithermal and porphyry-style deposits.
