Green Bridge Metals to Drill 2,500–3,000 Metres at Titac North in October After South Zone Step-Out

Green Bridge Metals moved its Phase 2 drill campaign at the Titac titanium-copper-vanadium project in Minnesota forward, with crews set to mobilise in October 2026.

Green Bridge Metals has pulled its second-phase drill campaign at the Titac titanium-copper-vanadium project in Minnesota forward, a decision that lifted the explorer's shares 5.8% to close at EUR 0.0546 in the previous session.

The company confirmed on Wednesday that six to seven diamond drill holes are planned at Titac North, targeting a combined 2,500 to 3,000 metres. Crews are scheduled to mobilise in October 2026. The campaign is designed to test whether the mineralisation already proven at Titac South continues northward, with samples and survey data feeding directly into a future updated mineral resource estimate — one that will explicitly cover copper and vanadium alongside titanium.

Permits in Hand Through April 2028

Planning certainty is not an issue. Regulatory approvals reportedly cover 14 drill sites across Minnesota through 1 April 2028, giving the explorer ample runway for follow-up holes beyond the current programme.

The decision to accelerate the work rests on the final assay results from Phase 1 at Titac South, reported roughly two weeks ago. Those numbers hardened management's confidence in the project's geological model. Hole TS26-004a returned a continuous 195.0-metre interval grading 0.25% copper and 10.18% titanium dioxide, including a 62.0-metre section at 0.29% copper and 10.54% titanium dioxide. Step-out hole TS26-007 added a 12.0-metre intercept of 0.20% copper, 8.33% titanium dioxide and 0.15% vanadium pentoxide.

For exploration companies, campaigns of this kind are the primary lever for progressively defining a project's geological potential. The targeted hunt for base metals such as copper, together with strategic raw materials like titanium and vanadium, sits at the core of Green Bridge Metals' North American operations.

War Chest Filled by C$4 Million Raise

Funding for the programme was secured more than a month ago, when the company closed a best-efforts public offering of units worth approximately C$4 million. Green Bridge Metals' market capitalisation currently stands at EUR 11.48 million, a valuation that reflects the early stage of its projects.

Alongside the operational steps, there has been activity around the boardroom. Several directors and executives received stock option grants in early September, including allocations of 125,000 options each to individual directors, according to media reports.

With the October spud date approaching, the next practical test on the ground is set. The drill core from Minnesota will have to show whether the grades identified so far hold up — and extend — across the wider grid.
