The Board of Titanium Sands Limited (“TSL”) wish to confirm the infill and extension drilling exploration program on TSL’s heavy mineral project in Sri Lanka has commenced under the management of the Geological Survey and Mines Bureau Technical Services Division (“GSMBTS”).

As announced to the market (ASX:TSL 23/12/21) the program will consist of about 300 holes for a total meterage of around 3,600m. The primary objective of the drilling will be to convert more of the resource in the highgrade zone from an inferred to indicated mineral resource category by decreasing the RC aircore drill line separation from a nominal 400m to 200m. A secondary objective will be to drill 12m deep holes beneath a 2.2km[2] area of the high-grade zone resource only tested by shallow auger drilling down to 2-3m below surface.

The program will be within the Company’s high grade zone as outlined in the initial scoping study (ASX:TSL 16/06/2020). The existing high-grade zone contains a mineral resource[1] of 93Mt at 5.24%THM of which 32% is in the indicated category (Table 1). This high-grade zone represents only 35% of the total current mineral resource estimate for the project of 265Mt at 4.38%THM (Table 2).

The drilling program is expected to take up to 7 weeks from commencement date however conclusion of the drilling program is expected by 11 February 2022[2] . Processing of samples through the Company’s on-site sample preparation facilities will be undertaken concurrently with the drilling. Analytical laboratory determinations of Total Heavy Mineral content of samples is expected to be completed around the end of February 2022.

An updated resource estimate will follow allowing for a revision of the project’s scoping study and will assist the Company’s proposed mining license application process.

Weekly updates will be provided through to completion of the program.
