As general mineralogy, not an Osmond figure, titanite — also called sphene — is a calcium-titanium silicate, and generally an accessory phase rather than a primary feedstock. It is a mineral that gets identified in an assemblage more often than it gets produced from one.

At Orión it appears in the record once. Osmond's published "Heavy Minerals" definition, dated 19 February 2026, names titanite among the minerals making up the heavy-mineral fraction. That is the entirety of what has been reported about it.

Everything else is absence, stated precisely. Titanite has never been individually assayed or assigned a grade in any release, and that absence is publisher-verified across the announcement record — a checked result rather than an unread page. It sits inside a heavy-mineral total of 29.4–32.8% in the bulk channel samples, with up to roughly 40% estimated in the AV-01bis interval, without any share of that total attributed to it; and no part of Orión's reported titanium mineralogy is attributed to titanite either.
