FURTHER STRONG HEAVY MINERAL RESULTS CONTINUE TO CONFIRM EXTENSIVE INLAND AREA OF HEAVY MINERAL CONCENTRATION

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The vendor of the Mannar Island project has received the laboratory results of a further 477 drill holes.

  • A total of 384 of these drill holes intersected significant heavy mineral concentrations.

  • The results establish significant extension potential to the existing coastal JORC inferred mineral resource of 10.3 Mt with total heavy mineral (THM) of 11.7%*

  • The 1 to 5m thick heavy mineral zone has no overburden and in most holes extends down to the depth limit of the drilling at the water table.

  • Individual drill hole weighted averages are up to 22% THM (total heavy minerals) and numerous plus 8% drill hole averages occur in high grade zones.

  • Slimes results are consistently very low, ~1%.

The vendor of the Mannar Island Heavy Mineral Sands Project, Srinel Holdings Ltd, has advised Titanium Sands Ltd that laboratory results for a further 477 hand auger drill holes have been received from the Mannar Island Project in Sri Lanka (Figures 1 and 2). The results confirm visual logging observations at the time of drilling that there are extensive areas of heavy mineral concentration in the interior of Mannar Island adjacent to the previously announced heavy mineral resources.

Drilling results previously reported (ASX announcement 15 October 2017) were largely from drilling in 2016 carried out along lines 800m apart and drill holes 50m apart. These latest results are from 2017 drilling that consisted of infill drilling and some mineralisation extension drilling. Much of the drilled mineralisation is now covered by a 400 by 50m drilling pattern.

The mineralization defined by the drilling results to date extends for a strike of 12km and has a cross strike width of up to 3km (Figure 2). It is up to 6m thick and averages around 1.5m. There is essentially no overburden and the mineralisation extends continuously down to the limit of the drilling at the water table. Drilling to date on the Mannar Project only extends down to the water table, the exploration potential for deeper mineralisation remains untested.

Figure 2 Summary illustration of 2016 and 2017 drilling assay results received to date, with weighted average THM% for each drill hole based on all samples and no lower cut off. The existing resource envelope refers to the previously reported JORC standard resource *.

The new drill hole results are summarised in Figure 2 along with the previously received results. Table 1 lists all the new 477 drill holes. Sample intervals were 0.5m down hole and all samples from assayed holes were submitted as individual samples with no compositing. Table 1 shows total depth of each drill hole and the weighted average heavy mineral content of the entire hole. No lower cut on THM% has been applied and no samples or drill holes excluded. Of the 477 drill holes 384 returned plus 2% intercepts.

The Mannar mineralisation has an exceptionally low slimes (~1%) content and the total heavy mineral fraction is dominated by ilmenite and leucoxene with subsidiary zircon and rutile. Very little low value magnetite is present. Mineralogical analyses of the heavy mineral suite are being undertaken.

BACKGROUND OF THE MANNAR ISLAND PROJECT

Titanium Sands Ltd shareholders approved the acquisition of Srinel Holdings Ltd at its Annual General Meeting held on the 24 January 2018 (ASX announcement 24 January 2018) The transaction will see the acquisition of Srinel Holdings Ltd which holds three exploration licences and two exploration license applications covering 166km[2] that constitute the Mannar Island Heavy Mineral Sands Project in Sri Lanka.

The company looks forward to completing the work necessary for an updated mineral resource statement and then to progress with evaluating the major exploration potential of the project both adjacent to the known mineralisation and immediately underlying beneath the water table.

*An initial JORC inferred mineral resource of 10.3 Mt with total heavy mineral (THM) of 11.7% compiled by independent consultants was reported in full to the Australian Securities Exchange on the 22 April 2015. This resource was based on a historical drill hole data base of 785 auger drill holes and from the 115 holes drilled in early 2015. The drilling and the defined resource envelope was largely confined to within 150m of the Mannar Island shoreline. The Company confirms that this resource statement remains current in regards to the areas covered by the drilling used in the resource model.

Except where indicated, exploration results above have been reviewed and compiled by James Searle BSc (hons), PhD, a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, with over 34 years of experience in metallic and energy minerals exploration and development, and as such has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Dr Searle is the Managing Director of Titanium Sands Limited and consents to the inclusion of this technical information in the format and context in which it appears.

Appendix 1 JORC TABLE 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

All drilling, sampling and sample splitting procedures were designed and audited by Dr James Searle, the Competent Person named in the body of this report.

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry
standardmeasurement tools

100% of recovered sample
collected, riffle split, and
bagged at drill site.
Criteria Explanation Commentary
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc.). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures
taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple
(e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that
has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

Sample interval down hole
every 0.5m or part interval.

No sampling below water table.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc.).

Hand auger , vertical, Dormer
type shell auger 75mm, 382
holes reported here, maximum
depth 6m

All holes vertical.
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise
sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the
samples.
• Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.

Weight of sample recovered
logged against estimate of
100% recovery weight.

For the hand auger holes, re-
entry depth of auger tip noted
against depth achieved before
auger withdrawn to recover
sample. Hole abandoned if
more 3cm of fall back in hole
noted.
Logging • Whether core and chip samples
have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitativein nature.Core (or

photography.
• The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.

All drill hole samples logged at
drill site.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core
taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc. and
whether sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature,
quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted
for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in
situ material collected, including for
instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are
appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.

Samples dried and split at
dedicated site preparation
facility using a riffle splitter, one
pass split.

12 chute riffle splitter. Sample
loaded evenly into splitter on
top of removable baffle to
ensure optimal split across the
splitter.

Custody chain of samples
maintained from drill site to
controlled storage and to air
freight shipper delivered direct
to Cape Town laboratory.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests
• The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
• For geophysical tools,
spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc., the parameters
used in determining the analysis
including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias)
and precision have been
established.

Sample desliming (-45mic) and
oversize screening (>1mm)
carried out at dedicated site
preparation facility.

Standardardized procedures for
sieving, weighing and drying.

Prepared 125 to 250g .45mic
and <1mm sample consigned
to Scientific Services Ltd
laboratory in Cape Town.

Blanks and laboratory
standards run and reported for
every 50thanalysis.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
• The verification of significant
intersections by either independent
or alternative company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data,
data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay
data.
1. Independently supervised
repeat drilling of 1 in 20 twin
holes showing significant heavy
mineral mineralisation has
been completed and will be
analysed separately in due
course.
2. One in 20 duplicate samples
from splitting and sample
preparation have been
submitted for separate
analysis.
Location of
data points
• Accuracy and quality of surveys
used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches, mine

Drill collars located using GPS
WGD84 to an accuracy
typically of better than 6m
Criteria Explanation Commentary
workings and other locations used
in Mineral Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system
used.
• Quality and adequacy of
topographic control.

Topographic control is being
determined by a DTM model to
which collar elevations will be
snapped. The accuracy of the
collar elevations is expected to
be adequate for resource
modelling.
Data spacing
and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has
been applied.

Drilling spacing varying from
50m to 100m along lines at
400m nominal separations
along the mineralisation trend.
Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent
to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
• If the relationship between the
drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.

Shoreline concentrated heavy
minerals when preserved by
net coastal progradation
seaward form strands of
mineralisation that can vary
from 10s to hundreds of metres
wide but many hundreds or
metres and kilometres long.
Drill lines are therefore
optimally oriented across the
trend direction of the paleo
shoreline positions. Drill hole
spacing along the lines were
designed to find HM strands as
narrow as 25 to 50m wide.
Separation of the drill lines
along the paleo shoreline
orientations reflects the much
greater along shore dimensions
of any potentially economic
strands.
Sample
security
• The measures taken to ensure
sample security.

Custody of samples
documented, and integrity of
packaging monitored.
Audits or
reviews
• The results of any audits or reviews
of sampling techniques and data.

Twinned hole results and
duplicated sample splits and
samples from twinned holes
are being used to demonstrate
QA/QC

third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interests, historical sites,

mineral sands
Drill hole
Information
• A summary of all information
material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a
tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill
holes:

easting and northing of the drill
hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level
– elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and
interception depth

hole length.
• If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.

Tabulation of all drill hole
information contained within
Table 1 of the announcement
above, with the exception of
RL which will be provided
later when a DTM is
available. At this time collar
elevation is considered not
material due to the lack of
significant elevation changes
over the area.
Data
aggregation
methods
• In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should
be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
• The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.

No cutting of high grades.

Weighted averages of all
assays from all samples in
each drill holes reported in
Table 1.

No lower cut off grades
applied.

Results are Total Heavy
Miner % of whole sample.

No mineralogical analysis
being reported at this time.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
• These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be
reported.

Heavy mineral zones in
beach sediments are flat or
only very shallowly dipping.
All drill holes were vertical
and intersected the entire
portion of the mineralisation
blanket between land surface
Criteria Explanation
• If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).
and the limit of the drilling at
the water table..
Diagrams • Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but
not be limited to a plan view of drill
hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.

Plans of drill hole locations
subject of this announcement
are provided.

Sectional representations not
considered relevant as the
drill depths were rarely more
than 2m.
Balanced
reporting
• Where comprehensive reporting of
all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or
widths should be practiced to avoid
misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.

All holes drilled are shown in
Figure 2. All holes assayed
and reported on in this
announcement are shown in
Figure 2 and listed in Table 1.

The collar positions of all
holes drilled have been
previously reported.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
• Other exploration data, if
meaningful and material, should be
reported including (but not limited
to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results;
bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
or contaminating substances.

Not applicable at this time.
Further work • The nature and scale of planned
further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
• Diagrams clearly highlighting the
areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is
not commercially sensitive.

Mineralogical analysis of the
heavy mineral fraction will be
undertaken.

A revised mineral resource
estimate will be undertaken
when all appropriate
mineralogical and QA/QC
work is completed.

Further exploration of Mannar
Island adjacent to and under
the known mineralisation will
be undertaken.
