Project Overview

  • Project located in Jaén Province, Andalucía, Southern Spain
  • 772 “cuadrículas mineras” covering an area of ~232km²
  • A lithified placer sand geological system with various layers rich in three future facing / critical minerals with high grade potential:
    • Rutile (titanium), zircon (zirconium, hafnium), monazite (REE), quartz (silicon metal)
  • Unsuccessfully explored for uranium and thorium in the 1950/60’s
  • Initial target areas are within Orión Permit (PI awarded)
  • Historic galena (lead) mine in permit area located directly below mineralised outcrops
  • Phase 1 drilling campaign has established potential for grade and scale. Phase 2 drilling currently underway, with a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate and Scoping Study due in 2H CY2026.

High-Grade Potential

  • Outcrop samples containing over 45% Total Heavy Minerals (THM)​
  • High grades of Rutile (titanium), Zircon (zirconium / hafnium) and Monazite (rare earth elements REE).

High-Value Potential

  • Three Economic Minerals
    • Rutile
    • Zircon
    • Monazite.

High-Tonnage Potential

  • 228km2​ permit area
  • Three target zones​
  • Mineralised outcrops over 12km distance
  • Two interpreted pervasive seams

Drilling Program

  • The company has commenced its initial maiden drilling program with majority of assays pending
  • Click to view the announcement relating to the AV-01 and AV-01bis drill results on 24 November 2025
