Titan Announces Significant

High Grade Drill Extensions to ESM Open Pit Project

Vancouver, B.C., May 25, 2022 – Titan Mining Corporation (TSX:TI) (“Titan” or the “Company”)

is pleased to provide an update on near mine drilling recently completed at its 100% -owned

Empire State Mine (“ESM”) in New York State revealing significant mineralized extensions of the

#2 Ore Body, which has accounted for approximately half of the tons mined historically at ESM .

Results include assays from drilling completed in West Ridge, the historic #2 Pit Area, Turnpike

and Pump House. Each of these targets represents near surface extensions of the #2 Ore Body.

Drilling Highlights

Key Mineralized intervals from West Ridge include:

• 6.5 feet (2 meters) assaying 14.1% zinc, 1.9% lead, and 30.7 g/t silver

are set out in Table V.

2022 ESM Open Pit - Surface Drilling

In Q1 2022 a 27 hole drill program was completed in and around the #2 Ore Body. This drilling

has successfully extended mineralization to the SW of the Hoist House Zone and identified a new

zone of mineralization labeled West Ridge (see Figures 1 and 2) . Eight holes have been

completed within the historic #2 pit, targeting the remnant crown pillar, returning positive results

and extending the previously drilled zinc mineralization in this area. Additionally, two holes have

been drilled targeting the down dip extension of mineralization at the planned Turnpike open pit.

ESM General Manager Joel Rheault commented, “ The most recent drill results provide

encouragement that the areas targeted for open pit mining are going to be larger and higher grade

than originally anticipated, which will extend the project life. Additionally, the down dip extensions

of this mineralization may provide targeted areas for underground extraction. Overall, the project

will lead to additional employment at ESM and incrementally increase the number of payable zinc

pounds produced.”

Table I. Mineralized intervals from West Ridge

* Based on historic models and neighboring drillholes, the technical team believes SX22-2605 may have tested the

remnants of a historic pillar.

Note: The true width of the mineralization is not currently known.

The #2 pit is located 1 mile south of the ESM # 4 mine and milling complex . Drilling has tested

remnant crown pillar mineralization to the southwest of the previously identified Hoist House Zone

(Figures 1 -2) and the remnant mineralization beneath the #2 Pit. Mineralization has been

intercepted within the gaps of the historic #2 surface and underground workings.
