Executive Summary
The Empire State Mines 2024 NI 43-101 Technical Report Update by Titan Mining Corporation details the operational status and metallurgical processing capabilities of the Empire State Mines (ESM) zinc operations located in the Balmat region. The concentrator, originally commissioned in 1970 and shut down in 2008, was refurbished in late 2017 and resumed processing mineralization in 2018. The facility is designed for a capacity of 5,000 tonnes per day, though current operations run intermittently to match underground mine production, typically processing between 8,500 and 8,750 tonnes per week.
The flowsheet encompasses crushing, grinding, and sequential lead and zinc flotation circuits. Primary crushing occurs underground via a 36” x 48” jaw crusher or on surface with a 30” x 42” unit, followed by secondary crushing using an Allis Chalmers Hydrocone. The current operation utilizes a single shift per day, four days per week, to optimize throughput while managing the intermittent nature of the underground mine supply. While an economic analysis for graphite mineralization has not been completed, the focus remains on zinc and lead recovery through the existing concentrator infrastructure.
