Empire Metals Limited / LON: EEE , OTCQB: EPMLF / Sector: Natural Resources

Exceptional High-Purity TiO2 Product Achieved

Empire Metals Limited, the AIM-quoted and OTCQB-traded resource exploration and development company, is pleased to announce the results from its most recent titanium dioxide ("TiO2") product development testwork programme, carried out on mineral flotation concentrates produced from the in-situ mineralised weathered cap that extends across the giant Pitfield Project ('Pitfield'), located in Western Australia.

Highlights

· A very high-purity TiO2 product, assaying at 99.25% TiO2 has been achieved through conventional beneficiation, leaching and refining processes.

· The TiO2 product contains non-detectable, or extremely low levels of deleterious impurities and is expected to be suitable for high-quality titanium sponge metal or high-grade titanium dioxide pigment production.


· Bulk samples collected from the weathered cap (announced 17 February 2025) have been delivered to the metallurgical laboratory and these will be utilised to produce multiple, finished product samples for marketing purposes.

Shaun Bunn, Managing Director, said: "We have achieved an extraordinary outcome from our most recent product development testwork, which has delivered an exceptional high-grade, high-purity TiO2 product that should be ideal for either titanium sponge metal or high-quality TiO2 pigment production.

"It is remarkable that our technical team has so rapidly produced a high-purity TiO₂ product. We believe this not only highlights the effectiveness of our processing approach but also underscores the potential value of our product. Metallurgical testing and process optimisation continues, and with the availability of the 70 tonnes of bulk sample collected in February we will now be able to significantly scale up the testwork and produce a variety of final product samples to share with prospective downstream end-users."

Ad Marketplace Gumball Launches New Contextually Relevant 'Adaptive Ads' Powered by AI
Los Angeles, CA, USA · June 4, 2025
Gumball, the award-winning advertising technology platform today announces ‘Adaptive Ads’, an AI-driven ad product that keeps listeners engaged by delivering unique, contextually relevant podcast ad reads for each episode. Adaptive Ads are available to run across inventory on Gumball along with Audioboom, Backyard Ventures and QCODE who have joined as early partners.

The tech behind Adaptive Ads works by considering the similarities between a show’s audience and brand’s target buyer, the specifics of the brand’s ad copy, and the content and tone of a particular episode, to create a script that captures the brand’s requirements while thematically matching the podcast episode it’s being inserted into.

“Adaptive Ads bridge the gap between the relevance of host read ads and the scalability of programmatic ads," says Andrew Pile, Chief Technical Officer of Gumball. “Since Adaptive Ads are created using the content of the show and not the listener’s personal data, they feel topical without invading user privacy. It’s a more effective way to capture one of the unique qualities of host-read advertising without crossing an ethical line.”

How These Star Ingredients Are Setting New Standards in Beauty
Cosmetics & ToiletriesCosmetics & Toiletries - Published Jun 6, 2025

The pursuit of healthy, youthful-looking and radiant skin has become a defining trend in the cosmetics industry, reflecting a societal shift toward longevity as the new anti-aging. Market Research Future estimates the market for longevity products across industries – including preventive healthcare, biotechnology, regenerative medicine, anti-aging therapies and digital health innovations – reached US $21.29 billion in 2024. The firm predicts it will boom at a CAGR of 10.37% from 2025-2035.

As consumers become more educated about skin care, they gravitate toward ingredients recognized for their skin health and age-defying properties. For example, according to Mintel, products containing powerful antioxidants and peptides are gaining traction, as these ingredients are known to diminish visible signs of aging.

Moreover, the rise of advanced ingredients targeting biological mechanisms, aka the hallmarks of aging, showcases the industry's commitment to rejuvenating skin's youth at the cellular level. This lends itself to a holistic perspective of beauty, even tapping into the effects of mental health and sleep for beauty outcomes.

This report highlights star ingredients driving the skin longevity phenomenon, among others, and redefining standards for beauty.
