Empire Metals appoints leadership to accelerate Pitfield Titanium

Empire Metals is expanding its in-house leadership with the appointments of Chris Dodds as General Manager (Project Delivery) and Emma Neale as Senior Advisor (Approvals) to hasten the Pitfield Titanium Project in Western Australia. The moves aim to accelerate feasibility studies, deliver major project options, and streamline regulatory approvals as the company progresses Pitfield toward commercial development. Pitfield is described as a district-scale, high-grade titanium deposit with a sizable resource of 2.2 billion tonnes at about 5.1% TiO2, and Empire emphasizes strengthening project delivery to meet growing global demand for critical minerals. The company remains pre-revenue with ongoing losses but low debt, leveraging enhanced in-house capability to support development and potential future production. Leadership statements from Managing Director Shaun Bunn underscore the intent to maintain tempo and build a robust, internally driven project team for rapid progression through feasibility to development. These articles collectively present Empire’s strategy to lock in critical expertise to advance Pitfield while maintaining financial flexibility as exploration and development continue.
