Titan Minerals Ltd (ASX:TTM, OTC:TTTNF) has reported a new round of wide, high-grade gold intercepts from infill drilling at its 100%-owned Dynasty Gold Project in southern Ecuador, results that are lifting confidence in the scale, continuity and quality of mineralisation ahead of a planned resource update.
The latest assays come from diamond drilling at the Cerro Verde prospect, where the company has been focusing on the Brecha-Comanche target as part of its resource definition campaign. Titan says the results will support both an upgrade in resource confidence and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), now targeted for late Q1 2026.

High-grade intercepts strengthen confidence
The standout result from the latest batch was 38.5 metres at 3.0 grams per tonne gold and 5.6 g/t silver from 168.8 metres, including 7.5 metres at 11.0 g/t gold in hole CVDD25-173.
Other significant intercepts included:
- 8.6m at 5.9 g/t gold and 9.5 g/t silver from 64.6m
- 9.5m at 4.2 g/t gold and 12.1 g/t silver from 150.5m, including 5.3m at 7.4 g/t gold
- 4.1m at 7.2 g/t gold and 26.9 g/t silver from 13.5m, highlighting strong grades from shallow depths
Titan said the infill drilling confirms the tenor and predictability of vein- and breccia-hosted mineralisation within the Dynasty system, reinforcing confidence in the geological and mineralisation models.

Resource upgrade work well advanced
Chief executive Melanie Leighton said the consistency of results was a key outcome of the infill program.
“I’m excited to share these latest drill results which demonstrate the pedigree of the Dynasty gold system and its ability to consistently deliver exceptional wide, high-grade results from shallow depths,” she said.
“Our infill drilling has highlighted the quality and remarkable predictability of the Dynasty gold orebody, with latest results set to support resource classification upgrades and a robust MRE update suitable for feasibility studies.”
According to the company, drilling completed in late 2025 also intersected mineralisation outside the previous resource footprint, pointing to further potential resource growth as modelling is refined.
In addition to the headline intercepts, multiple secondary zones returned encouraging gold and silver grades, adding further support to Titan’s view that mineralisation remains continuous across multiple structures at Cerro Verde.
Porphyry targets and next results awaited
Drilling at Cerro Verde has also intersected broad zones of porphyry-hosted gold-silver mineralisation, with several assay batches still pending from holes testing the Kaliman porphyry target. Results from those programs are expected in the coming weeks.

Titan said it will pause drilling for about a month while outstanding assays from the 2025 campaign are integrated. During this period, the exploration team will also expand reconnaissance mapping and trenching into new and extensional areas around Cerro Verde.
The pause “will allow receipt and compilation of 2025 drill results and for the team to plan the next phase of drilling, which will be a combination of exploration to test new and conceptual targets and resource extensions identified from latest geological and mineralisation modelling”, Leighton said.
Funded for growth into 2026
The Dynasty MRE update is progressing across several completed workstreams, with Titan maintaining guidance for delivery in late Q1 2026.
The company enters the year with a strengthened balance sheet following a US$10 million strategic investment by Lingbao Gold International Co. Ltd, capital it plans to use to grow resources and de-risk the project through feasibility studies. Discussions continue around a potential corporate transaction involving Titan’s Ecuadorian assets.
The Dynasty Gold Project covers 139 square kilometres across five contiguous concessions and hosts an extensive nine-kilometre epithermal vein system, with growing evidence of porphyry copper-gold potential at depth.
