At a glance

What the record holds today. Every card names where it came from — a management representation is not an established fact, and the page never blurs the two.

What is in the ground
will be clearly the largest titanium resource globally after Q3 update
Management-stated Shaun Bunn Jun 2026
What happens next
flow sheet released early June, engineering over next 6 months
Management-stated Shaun Bunn Jun 2026
The main open question
The integrated ore-to-pigment flowsheet at a single site is untested at scale and relies on calcining and acid processing with multiple unresolved choices for power and acid supply.

Our reading

Management view vs outside view

Management interviews are promotional by nature; the outside view is the counterweight. Both are quoted from the recordings, not added by us.

Weighed from the statements on this page — management's pitch and the outside view. Not financial advice, and not our opinion of the company.

▲ Bull case

Management says the Pitfield deposit is shallow, high-grade titanium ore that will be the world's largest after Q3 resource update, with integrated pigment production and excellent port/railway infrastructure in Western Australia.

Management says the Pitfield deposit is shallow, high-grade titanium ore that will be the world's largest after Q3 resource update, with integrated pigment production and excellent port/railway infrastructure in Western Australia. The company is building market pathways with major pigment users and Western producers seeking critical mineral supply, and released a flowsheet in June with a full feasibility study and capital estimate due early 2027.

▼ Bear case

The integrated ore-to-pigment flowsheet at a single site is untested at scale and relies on calcining and acid processing with multiple unresolved choices for power and acid supply.

The integrated ore-to-pigment flowsheet at a single site is untested at scale and relies on calcining and acid processing with multiple unresolved choices for power and acid supply. No outside validation exists on economics, permitting timelines, market demand, or execution risk—and the 2027 feasibility study will be the first real test of the business model's viability.

◆ Watch next

Q3 resource update should confirm world-largest titanium resource claim.

Q3 resource update should confirm world-largest titanium resource claim. Early June flowsheet engineering wraps in the next 6 months. Early 2027 feasibility study with capital and operating cost estimates and engineering trade-off decisions will determine if the project is financeable and competitive.

Each moment links to the exact point in the source recording. The cases are drawn from the transcripts, weighed as written — they are not a rating, a target or a recommendation.

The deposit 4

Key takeaway. Regarding the deposit, management describes it as a shallow, high-grade titanium ore body.

Read the full summary

The company reports that it has doubled the amount of drilling into the resource and expects a substantial upgrade in the Q3 update, after which it says the deposit will be clearly the largest titanium resource globally.

What was actually said
deposit type
titanium ore body
“We've got a giant titanium ore body that we discovered about 3 years ago in Western Australia, just north of Perth.”
Shaun Bunn· 30 Jun 2026·
deposit type
shallow, high grade
“Um it's shallow. It's high grade. And it's there's quite a lot of it.”
Shaun Bunn· 30 Jun 2026·
exploration upside
doubled the amount of drilling into that resource, substantial upgrade to the resource coming out in Q3, clearly the largest titanium resource globally
“All that drilling we did, completed the biggest drilling program we've ever undertaken, doubled over doubled the amount of drilling into that resource. I mean, that's going to be a substantial upgrade to the resource coming out in Q3. Uh, and really set us, I think, above, you know, we'll we'll be clearly the largest titanium resource in globally.”

Technical risk 2

Key takeaway. Management describes the metallurgical process as involving calcining titanium to oxide form with acid required, and notes there are multiple potential configurations for power/gas generation and acid supply (June 2026).

Read the full summary

A key assumption is an integrated flowsheet from ore to pigment product at a single-site facility, the company reports.

What was actually said
key assumption
integrated flowsheet from ore to pigment product at one site facility
“from the ore in the ground at pit field into a pigment product all within one location one site facility. That's that's our vision if you like for pit field.”
Shaun Bunn· 30 Jun 2026·
metallurgy
process involves calcining titanium to oxide form, acid required in process, multiple potential configurations for power/gas generation and acid supply
“Um we have to calcine the titanium to get it into the oxide form. Um so you're going to need several of them. Um we're using acid in the process. Do we import acid? Uh, bring it in on the rail? Or do we bring sulfur in and uh, and burn our own, you know, create our own acid production?”

What was actually said
milestone
flow sheet released early June, engineering over next 6 months
“So, early in June we released the the the announcement around the flow sheet. Uh that was a culmination of about 12 months of really solid effort by our our metallurgical and technical team. Um and so we've released pieces of information over time as we you know like the purity of the product that we could achieve.”
Shaun Bunn· 30 Jun 2026·
study due
early 2027
“Uh, view being then is that we come in to early in 2027 with a a real clear uh, plan and uh, and idea of the capital and operating costs and the trade-offs between the two.”

Management 1

track record
appointed Michael Tamlin as head of marketing last year, leading product development and market identification work
“We took on our head of marketing, Michael Tamlin. We appointed him last year. We hadn't even started to make finished products.”

Market 3

Key takeaway. Management says the company is positioned to compete against Chinese producers on cost while targeting the high-end pigment market at premium prices.

Read the full summary

The CEO noted potential acquirers include high retail pigment users such as "DuPonts of the world" and Western metal producers, pointing to strategic interest from Western metal producers due to critical mineral status and metal feedstock supply considerations (Jun 2026).

What was actually said
cost curve position
positioned to compete against Chinese producers on cost while targeting high-end pigment market at premium prices
“So we think we can compete against that in terms of price. In terms of costs, I should say. But we don't want to end up in the same bucket where everyone goes, "Oh, well, you're You're a low You're a low-quality low-value end of the business."”
Shaun Bunn· 30 Jun 2026·
potential acquirer
high retail pigment users such as DuPonts of the world, Western metal producers
“So I'm focusing very much on the high retail pigment users, the uh the guys that buy it for paint and coatings, you know, the DuPonts of the world. They pay premium price. You can get up to 3 and 1/2 4 4,000 a ton into that market.”
Shaun Bunn· 30 Jun 2026·
strategic interest
Western metal producers for critical mineral status and metal feedstock supply
“We see a pathway from pit field to get to metal supply. We may be able to partner or or have a you know, an off take a strategic alliance even with a Western metal producer. They ends up selling metal into the US or into Europe or into”

How to read this page

What is here

Statements made by company representatives in the interviews listed above — each one carrying the words that made it, the date, and the recording. Nothing is added from any other source: if it was not said on a recording, it is not on this page. The one exception lives in the Claims & Checks record, which cites a metal price from our own feed so a stated cost can be set against it — and labels it as ours wherever it appears.

What is not verified

All of it. Resource figures, economics, timelines and promotional framing are management's own representations, checked against no filing and no technical report. Transcripts are automatic; we repair a clearly mis-heard word but never a number, a date, a unit or a speaker's hedge — “about 8.6 million ounces” keeps its “about”.

How to use it

Treat it as a map of what has been said, not as a source of fact. Where a figure matters to you, open the recording and read the company's filings. Nothing here is financial advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any security — these are interested parties discussing their own company.
