Tusker Minerals (ASX: TSK) has identified high-grade titanium mineralisation dominated by rutile across its Mzimba exploration licences in northern Malawi following early-stage reconnaissance sampling.

Tusker reported a peak assay of 1.88% titanium dioxide (TiO₂) from soil and rock chip samples, with 27% of the 41 collected samples and 47% of the soil samples returning more than 1% TiO₂.

The results come from reconnaissance sampling across approximately 50 square kilometres, representing about 7% of the company’s 710 sq km licence package.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) mineralogical analysis confirmed that titanium mineralisation occurs predominantly as rutile with minor anatase present and no ilmenite detected.
