Temas Advances Drill Program at La Blache, Quebec, Targeting Titanium & Critical Minerals Resource Growth

TMAS · Price

Executive Summary

  • Temas Resources reports completion of ~1,000 m of diamond drilling out of a planned 2,500 m fall/winter program at the La Blache Ti‑02 Project in Quebec.
  • Early core observations show titanium, vanadium, and trace amounts of gallium and scandium, supporting the company’s Regenerative Chloride Leach (RCL) processing technology.
  • The fully funded program is on schedule; Phase 2 drilling is slated for early 2026 to enable a maiden JORC‑compliant Mineral Resource Estimate in 2026.

Key Details

  • Drilling Progress: 1,000 m completed; remaining 1,500 m to be drilled through the third week of November 2025.
  • Program Design: 2,500 m total corridor (Hervieux West to Farrell‑Taylor) with drill holes spaced on a 50 m × 50 m grid.
  • Objective: Expand and upgrade the inferred mineral resource at the Farrell‑Taylor Ti‑02 deposit; generate metallurgical samples for RCL pilot studies.
  • Early Core Findings: Presence of titanium, vanadium, gallium, and scandium confirmed in initial assays.
  • Funding: Entire program financed by recent equity financings; all permits and work authorizations are in place.
  • Infrastructure Advantage: Site located near existing road/rail infrastructure and the deep‑water Port of Saguenay, facilitating future development and downstream integration.
  • Future Milestones: Full core analysis and assay testing after drill completion; target to release a maiden JORC‑compliant Mineral Resource Estimate in 2026.

Notable Quotes

“Our current drilling program at La Blache is progressing on schedule, and early observations confirm strong geological continuity across the mineralised zones… positioning the Company to deliver a competitive advantage in the titanium and critical minerals recovery market.” – Tim Fernback, President & CEO

“Beyond Titanium and Vanadium, we continue to identify promising signatures of Scandium and Gallium… adding upside as we work towards defining our global mineral resource estimate (MRE) at La Blache.” – David Caldwell, Chief Operating Officer
