Resource diamond drilling by Titan Minerals (ASX: TTM) at the Cerro Verde prospect within its Dynasty gold project in southern Ecuador has delivered strong extensional results and confirmed continuity of mineralisation below the current resource.
Drilling at the Brecha-Comanche and Kaliman targets focused on extensive zones of porphyry and breccia-hosted gold-silver-copper mineralisation, with the aim of finalising the mineralisation model in preparation for an upcoming mineral resource estimate.
The final batch of results from Brecha-Comanche nearly doubled the depth extent of mineralisation to approximately 400 metres below surface, adding mineralisation in an area previously considered to be waste.
Significant intercepts were 31.4m at 2.3 grams per tonne gold and 7.1g/t silver from 375.7m including 19.2m at 3.2g/t gold and 8.4g/t silver, along with 26.3m at 1.7g/t gold and 5g/t silver from 294m including 11.7m at 2.9g/t gold and 7.5g/t silver.
Best results from the upper parts of the holes of 20.7m at 2g/t gold and 18.2g/t silver from 99.7m including 6.1m at 4.2g/t gold and 47.7g/t silver and 4.6m at 3.1g/t gold and 16.9g/t silver confirm the strong continuity and predictability of mineralisation and provide Titan with new infill drill assay information for improved resource categorisation.
Kaliman Results Pending
Results are still pending from several extensional and infill drillholes targeting porphyry-hosted mineralisation at the Kaliman target, where Titan’s drilling in late-2025 identified extensive zones of hosted gold-silver-copper mineralisation.
Previously reported best intercepts at the area were 216.6m at 0.5g/t gold, 1.9g/t silver, and 0.11% copper from 4m including 7.1m at 5.2g/t gold, 4.8g/t silver and 11m at 3.4g/t and 24.2g/t silver, as well as 153m at 0.5g/t gold, 1.9g/t silver and 0.08% copper from 107m including 14.6m at 2.7g/t gold and 11.2g/t silver.
“These results have highlighted Dynasty’s quality and our ability to rapidly transform the 3.1 million ounce gold and 22Moz silver resource into a high quality large-scale long-life gold mining operation in an emerging Tier 1 mining jurisdiction,” chief executive officer Melanie Leighton said.
“Our forthcoming resource update is set to feature improved confidence from infill drilling and growth in extensional areas where drilling has demonstrated significant new areas of mineralisation outside existing resources.”
