PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Bambu Titanium Project is a 4,500-hectare mining concession located in Escuintla, Chiapas, Mexico. It is strategically positioned near export hubs and key infrastructure, ensuring low transportation costs for extracted minerals. The primary focus is on the high-grade ilmenite (FeTiO₃) mineralization, which is used in titanium dioxide production.

GEOLOGY & MINERALIZATION FROM NI 43-101 Report
The Bambu Titanium Project is situated within the tectonically active Polochic-Motagua fault system, which extends across southern Mexico and Guatemala, known for hosting titanium-rich anorthosite intrusions.
The deposit is structurally controlled and consists of:
- Host Rocks: Amphibolite, gneiss, and anorthosite dykes
- Mineral Composition: High-grade ilmenite lenses, with associated rutile and magnetite
- Ore Type: Massive to semi-massive ilmenite, forming tabular to lensoidal bodies along northwest-trending fault zones
- Structural Controls: The deposit is associated with deep-seated mafic intrusions, contributing to the high titanium grades observed in drill cores
The geological model suggests that Bambu shares characteristics with major ilmenite-rich deposits globally, including those in Canada, Norway, and Mozambique, positioning it as a strategic low-cost supplier to the growing titanium market.

| Category | Tonnes | TiO₂ Grade (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Indicated | 717,000 | 31.12% |
| Inferred | 2,653,000 | 22.51% |
Assay Results & Drill Intercepts
| Drill Hole | Depth (m) | TiO₂ (%) | FeO (%) | SiO₂ (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BAM-001 | 120 | 32.5% | 25.1% | 8.3% |
| BAM-002 | 150 | 30.8% | 23.4% | 9.1% |
| BAM-003 | 130 | 31.2% | 24.0% | 8.5% |
Assay Results & Drill Intercepts
- Conventional gravity and magnetic separation methods have been confirmed through pilot-scale metallurgical testing.
- Magnetic separation will produce high-purity ilmenite concentrate (41% TiO₂) suitable for global pigment and metal industries.
- No chemical processing required, lowering environmental impact and operating costs.
- Processing facility to be located near mine site, optimizing transport and logistics.
Sustainability & Environmental Considerations
- Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) fully approved for 111-hectare mining area.
- Minimal waste generation due to efficient separation methods.
- Water recycling systems will reduce freshwater consumption by 70%.
- Dust control and land reclamation plans in place for sustainable mining operations.
