Titan Mining has announced a substantial increase in zinc resources at its Empire State mine, securing its operation until 2033. This marks a significant development for the company’s long-term strategy.
Increased Zinc Resources Boost Mine’s Lifespan
Titan Mining’s latest resource assessment reveals a 22% increase in zinc reserves since 2020. The total recoverable zinc now stands at 636 million pounds, with 541 million pounds considered payable. This boost in resources extends the operational life of the Empire State mine. It allows it to continue providing valuable production until 2033. With these increased reserves, Titan solidifies its position in the zinc market. This ensures steady profitability in the years to come.
Titan’s continued investment in its assets is evident in these updated numbers. This highlights the company’s commitment to maintaining a long-term presence in the Empire State mine and the wider mining industry.
2025 Drilling and Exploration Plan Set to Increase Zinc Output
Titan Mining has mapped out a robust drilling strategy for 2025. The company plans to drill 40,000 feet underground in current mining areas. This aims to further expand its operational base at the Empire State mine. Additionally, 31,000 feet will be devoted to exploration drilling. This will be divided between 13,000 feet of near-mine drilling and 18,000 feet of regional surface drilling.
These exploration efforts focus on 15 drill-ready targets across the mine’s region. These areas are expected to contain between 4.8 million and 5.3 million metric tonnes of mineralized material. The zinc grades across these areas range from 10% to 14%. This provides a potential yield of 935,000 to 1.47 million tonnes of contained zinc.
With this new drilling and exploration plan, Titan Mining seeks to increase zinc production in the short term. This will improve the resource base of the Empire State mine while supporting future growth.
