The Titan Project’s location in western Tennessee represents the eastern flank of the Mississippi Embayment, a large, southward-plunging syncline within the Gulf Coastal Plain.This feature extends from southern Illinois to the north and to Mississippi and Alabama to the south. The embayment is filled with sediments and sedimentary rocks of Cretaceous to Quaternary age.The McNairy Formation represents a pro-grading deltaic environment during a regressive marine sequence. This is evidenced by the coarsening upward sequence grading from the glauconitic clay-rich Coon Creek Formation to the finer grained lower member of the McNairy Formation to the coarser grained upper member of the McNairy Formation.The primary mineralized zone at the Project is hosted stratigraphically in the lower member of the McNairy Formation, which dips gently to the west in the Project area. The upper member is also mineralized in some areas at the Project and is at times separated from the lower zone by a barren coarse sand. Mineralization in both members had been traced at the Report date, for 6.2 km along strike.The base of mineralization ranges in relative level from 90–110 m above current sea level. Mineralization varies from 6–51 m thick and averages 31 m in thickness and is generally made up of large thicknesses of stacked laminations of HMs; however, some more massive mineralization is present where individual laminations are not present. The primary minerals associated with the mineralized horizons are altered ilmenite, zircon, rutile, staurolite, kyanite, monazite and xenotime with some variation in the proportion of these minerals between the upper and lower zones. Generally, the finer-grained lower zone contains more higher-value HMs including rutile, zircon, monazite, and xenotime than the upper coarser-grained zone. The gangue minerals are predominantly quartz and clays. Though extensive basement faulting is present in the region, it does not appear to impact the sedimentary stratigraphy at the scale of this project.
