Titan Minerals Ltd (ASX:TTM) has kicked off a drill program to test extensions to Kaliman porphyry gold-copper and Brecha-Comanche epithermal vein-hosted gold mineralisation at the Dynasty Gold Project in Southern Ecuador.
The company’s drill program was designed to test extensions to mineralisation identified in its 2021 drilling campaign, where significant epithermal gold and porphyry gold-copper mineralisation remains open both laterally and at depth.
Titan’s technical team have spent several months studying the vein and porphyry systems through systematic surface mapping and diamond drill core re-logging, culminating in the creation of an integrated and robust 3D geological model to facilitate the drill design.
“Suite of compelling targets”
Titan CEO Melanie Leighton said: “We are very excited to have commenced drilling at Dynasty with a suite of compelling targets set to feature in the drill program.”
“Titan’s technical team have made considerable advances in their understanding of mineralisation controls at the Cerro Verde prospect at Dynasty, with several targets set to be tested including epithermal vein hosted gold at the Brecha-Comanche target and extensive porphyry gold-copper mineralisation at the Kaliman prospect.
“Drilling has been designed to extend mineralisation identified in Titan’s 2021 drilling, where several strongly mineralised intervals remain open – both epithermal and porphyry.
“Generative work programs including mapping and surface geochemical sampling continue to unveil new mineralised areas at the Dynasty Project, adding further support to the potential to add considerable ounces to the existing resource through systematic exploration.
“We look forward to providing updates as exploration work programs and drilling activities progress, and as results are received.”

About Dynasty
The Dynasty Gold Project is an advanced-stage exploration project comprising five contiguous concessions over 139 square kilometres in area in Southern Ecuador.
Situated in a major flexure of the Andean Terrane, the project sits within a corridor of mineralisation extending from Peru through northern Ecuador that is associated with early to late Miocene-aged intrusions.
Exploration works at the Dynasty Gold Project have outlined an extensive zone of epithermal veining over a nine-kilometre strike that is one kilometre in width.
There is also considerable potential for porphyry gold, silver and copper mineralisation as identified by surface mapping, trenching and drilling at the Kaliman Porphyry prospect.
