1.We note that you have disclosures throughout the filing referencing a Scoping Study,
which is listed as Exhibit 15.1, originally filed July 1, 2022 on Form 6-K. Please discuss
this terminology with the qualified persons as it appears the technical report summary
should be identified as an initial assessment, rather than a scoping or conceptual study, to
utilize terminology that is prescribed by Item 1300 of Regulation S-K.
Unless you or the qualified persons do not believe the report meets the definition of an
initial assessment, which would be necessary to support your disclosures of resources,
please arrange to obtain and file a revised technical report summary that is properly
identified as an initial assessment rather than a scoping study, and similarly conform your

2.We see that you have included a map on page 47, which appears to show the general
location of the Titan Project. However, you must describe and illustrate with a map the
location of your property, accurate to within one-mile, using an easily recognizable
coordinate system, to comply with Item 1304(b)(1)(i) of Regulation S-K. Please expand
your disclosures to provide the required description and map.
3.We note that you do not disclose the basket or weighted average price for your composite
measure of Total Heavy Minerals (THM), used in determining your resource estimates;
the associated metallurgical recoveries; or the operational costs and other parameters
involved in establishing the economic cutoff grade.
Please modify your filing to include such details along with a description of the
methodology and calculation used to determine your cutoff grade estimate to comply with
Item 1302(d)(2) of Regulation S-K. This information should accompany your disclosures
of resource estimates either in footnotes to the tabulations or in adjacent disclosures.

in preparing the report. You will need to obtain and file a revised Technical Report
Summary to address these concerns. We suggest that you provide us with the revisions
that are proposed to address these comments in advance of filing an amended report.

5.Provide a description of the cutoff grade calculation and methodology, including all
relevant parameters to comply with Item 601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(11)(iii). Such disclosures

Heavy Minerals (THM) basket price, metallurgical recovery for each component, all cost
factors reflected in the estimate, and other details specified in the guidance above.
Section 13.3 - Production Target and Mine Schedule, page E-32

cutoff grade used for the optimized schedule along with the associated parameters, such as
basket price, metallurgical recovery, and cost factors, and explain how and when the
remaining resources will be mined and processed, or clarify if there are no such plans.

of Regulation S-K. For example, this should include commodity prices, revenues,
operational costs, capital costs, taxes, reclamation/closing costs, royalties, quantities of the
mined and processed materials, associated grades, and the salable product quantities.
11.As inferred resources appear to have been included in deriving the after tax cash flow

1302(d)(4)(ii)(C) of Regulation S-K.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
