Empire Metals advances to OTCQX market, boosting investment opportunities for American investors

Empire Metals, a London-listed and OTCQX-traded exploration and resource development company, is making significant strides in the titanium industry with its Pitfield Titanium Project in Western Australia.

The company, with trading symbols LON:EEE and OTCQX:EPMLF, recently upgraded its trading status from the OTCQB Venture Market to the OTCQX Best Market on September 3, 2025. This move enhances Empire's visibility and accessibility to U.S. investors, as it meets higher financial standards and corporate governance practices.

The OTCQX Best Market is the highest-level trading venue of the OTC Markets Group Inc., on which 12,000 U.S. and global securities trade. By trading on OTCQX, Empire will engage directly with U.S. investors, providing them with the same level of information and disclosure available to shareholders in the United Kingdom.

Shaun Bunn, Managing Director of Empire Metals, expressed delight at the company's upgrade to OTCQX, stating it enhances accessibility and visibility to both U.S. institutional and retail investors.

Significant Discoveries at Pitfield

Empire Metals has made notable discoveries at Pitfield. A high-grade titanium discovery has been identified, with a massive, coincident gravity and magnetics anomaly extending over 40km by 8km by 5km deep. Two key prospects, Cosgrove and Thomas, have been identified at Pitfield, each being over 7km in strike length and containing thick, high-grade, near-surface, in-situ bedded TiO2 mineralisation.

Drill results have indicated excellent continuity in grades and consistency of the in-situ mineralised beds, with the higher-grade titanium dioxide (TiO2) values found within the interbedded succession of sandstones, siltstones, and conglomerates.

Exploration Target and Future Plans

An Exploration Target for Pitfield was declared in 2024, covering the Thomas and Cosgrove mineral prospects, and estimated to contain between 26.4 to 32.2 billion tonnes with a grade range of 4.5 to 5.5% TiO. Empire is now accelerating the economic development of Pitfield, with a vision to produce a high-value titanium metal or pigment quality product.

In addition to Pitfield, Empire Metals has two further exploration projects in Australia; the Eclipse Project and the Walton Project, in addition to three precious metals projects located in Austria.

U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company on www.otcmarkets.com. The OTCQX cross-trading facility will enable US investors to access Empire's ordinary shares in US dollars, during US market hours.

Empire Metals continues to gain momentum through ongoing achievements in drilling results, metallurgical advancements, and product development at the Pitfield Titanium Project. With its recent upgrade to OTCQX, the company is poised for further growth and success in the titanium industry.
