Empire Metals Ltd managing director Shaun Bunn talked with Proactive about recent strategic moves aimed at accelerating the Pitfield titanium project in Western Australia. The company has appointed Michael Tamlin as marketing manager and extended its partnership with US-based titanium consultancy TiPMC.
Bunn said the appointment of a marketing manager, while still at the exploration stage, is a "critical step" as the company shifts focus toward identifying potential markets and tailoring product development accordingly. He noted, “We are now... getting all the way through to a 99% TiO₂ product,” referencing high recoveries achieved in processing test work.
Tamlin brings over 30 years of experience in marketing across commodities and a strong network that includes major chemical companies and traders. Bunn emphasised that he had been pursuing Tamlin for over a year, making this a timely and strategic acquisition.
He also spoke highly of the value TiPMC brings, describing the partnership as providing “almost surgical precision” in understanding titanium markets.
Addressing recent share price volatility, Bunn said there were "no fundamental changes" in the company’s financial position or the Pitfield project. He reaffirmed that work is progressing rapidly, with the Mineral Resource Estimate expected to be released in October.
