Empire Metals (EEE) Corporate presentation summary

Strategic positioning and market opportunity

• Advancing a major titanium project in Western Australia, targeting high-purity TiO2 for a supply-constrained global market.

• Titanium demand is rising due to its critical role in aerospace, defense, medical, and green energy sectors, with a 3.7% CAGR projected through 2030.

• Governments classify titanium as a critical mineral, supporting domestic projects to secure supply chains.

• The Pitfield Project is a district-scale discovery with significant grade and size, offering a scalable and efficient development path.

• Project is located in a tier-1 jurisdiction with strong infrastructure and government backing.

Project highlights and competitive advantages

• Pitfield is estimated at 26.4–32.2 billion tonnes @ 4.5–5.5% TiO2, making it the world's largest known titanium discovery.

• High-purity anatase and rutile (>90% TiO2) are present at surface, suitable for premium applications.

• The ore is clean of contaminants, with extremely low levels of uranium, thorium, chromium, and phosphorus.

• Simple, low-cost strip mining is possible due to the in-situ weathered cap and absence of overburden.

• Direct access to road, rail, port, power, and proximity to a planned green energy hub.

Processing and product development

• Processing uses attritioning, gravity, and flotation to concentrate titanium minerals efficiently.

• Acid leach and purification steps yield a >99% TiO2 semi-finished product, clean of deleterious elements.

• The final product is suitable for premium pigment and potential titanium metal (sponge) applications.

• Processing leverages the friable nature of the ore, reducing energy costs and simplifying operations.
