Titan Minerals Ltd (ASX:TTM) has entered into an underwriting agreement with CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd, securing the underwriting of the exercise of listed options priced at $0.35 each. These options are set to expire on January 31, 2025, at 5:00 PM AWST.

This aligns with Titan’s broader strategy to enhance project viability ahead of a planned scoping study in 2025.

- A management fee of 2% of the number of shortfall securities multiplied by $0.35 will also be paid to CPS.
- Subject to shareholder approval, CPS (and/or its nominee(s)) will be issued 4,000,000 options, each with an exercise price of $0.70 and an expiration date of January 31, 2027.
