Titiminas Silver Confirms Historical High-Grade Molybdenum Grades at Janchiscocha in First Modern Exploration Campaign; Defines District-Scale Quartz-Molybdenite Vein System
Titiminas’ high-grade molybdenum discovery adds a critical metals dimension to its silver-focused Madre Sierra project.
Titiminas Silver Inc. (TITI) has confirmed high-grade molybdenum mineralization at its Janchiscocha and Londres targets in Peru. First-pass underground and surface sampling returned grades up to 8.29% Mo, with consistent averages between 1% and 2% Mo across multiple structures.
The company identified a ~1 km mineralized corridor connecting Janchiscocha and Londres, suggesting a single, district-scale quartz-molybdenite vein system. Five previously untested surface veins were discovered at Janchiscocha, with strike lengths up to 300 metres and vein widths of 0.4 to 1.0 m. Vertical exploration potential is significant, with new structures located ~300 metres above historical underground workings.
The campaign defines a ~4 km mineralized molybdenum trend, shifting the geological interpretation from isolated historic occurrences to a larger hydrothermal system consistent with a Cu-Mo porphyry model. Next steps include detailed mapping, channel sampling, and diamond drilling, with a strategic decision on the target expected by year-end 2026.
Titiminas Silver Inc. (TITI) has added molybdenum to its primarily silver-focused pipeline, a development that could diversify future revenue streams and increase the overall value of the district. The results align with management’s expectations from the April 2026 community access announcement and the planned sampling program.
While the grades are historically high, the data is currently limited to channel sampling and surface mapping rather than modern diamond drilling or resource estimation. The news is incremental to the broader development roadmap and does not immediately alter the company's cash flow or near-term production timeline. It reinforces the geological model of a multi-episodic system, characterized by Ag-Pb-Zn veins overprinting a potential Cu-Mo porphyry at depth. This structure is positive for long-term optionality but requires modern drilling to quantify.
Titiminas Silver Inc. is a pre-revenue exploration and development company focused on the Madre Sierra Silver Mine in the Ricran district of Junin, Peru. The project operates under Peru's REINFO small-scale mining regime, which authorizes production of up to 350 tonnes per day. Primary commodities include silver, gold, copper, lead, and zinc, with molybdenum now identified as a significant by-product.
The project is currently in the pre-production and development phase, with Phase 1 targeting a modular 350 tonnes per day plant that is expandable to 800 tonnes per day. Historical production occurred from 1895 to 1954 for molybdenum, and from the late 20th century to 2007 for silver polymetallic veins. Pilot mining operations ran from 2019 to 2021. The company aims to publish a maiden NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate by the second or third quarter of 2027, followed by a Preliminary Economic Assessment and a Final Investment Decision by the fourth quarter of 2027.
