and Defense Specifications
Independent Testing Confirms High-purity Natural Graphite from Titan’s Kilbourne
Project in New York state
Gouverneur, New York, Vancouver, British Columbia – August 28, 2025 – Titan Mining
Corporation (TSX: TI; OTCQB: TIMCF) (“Titan” or the “Company”) announced today pos itive
results from independent downstream testing on natural flake graphite from its 100% owned
Kilbourne graphite project located in St. Lawrence County, NY demonstrating that Kilbourne
graphite can be transformed into multiple high-value product streams, supporting Titan’s strategy
to unlock diversified revenue opportunities across multiple industry groups.
Key Results and Commercial Applications:
● Battery Materials: Kilbourne graphite was successfully processed into spherical graphite
(USPG) with 99.99% purity, high tap density, and favorable particle size distribution ,
confirming its suitability as anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
● Industrial Products: Micronized and purified products achieved >99.9% purity, meeting
specifications for refractories, lubricants, automotive, and specialty industrial markets that
demand consistent quality and high performance.
● Defense and Aerospace : Ultra-high purities and processing flexibility support potential
qualification for military-specification (MiL -spec) materials, including applications in
thermal management, composites, coatings, and defense-grade energy storage.
Don Taylor, CEO of Titan commented: “This is a key milestone as we advance toward becoming
the first fully integrated U.S. producer of natural flake graphite in more than seventy years. These
results confirm Kilbourne graphite can be processed into the high -purity products required for
critical applications in aerospace, batteries, industrial and defense sectors.”
“By validating spherical, micronized, and purified graphite products, this testwork underscores
Titan’s ability to serve multiple markets—from energy storage to defense-grade applications,” said
Rita Adiani, President of Titan. “Equally important, Kilbourn e strengthens U.S. supply chain
security by reducing reliance on foreign graphite. These results enhance our commercial flexibility
and reinforce the importance of our demonstration facility, which remains on track for
commissioning later this year.”
Demonstration Facility Advancing
Titan is advancing construction of its graphite demonstration facility in St. Lawrence County.
Approximately 70% of the equipment has been delivered and installation is underway.
Commissioning expected in Q4 2025. The facility will validate the downstream flowsheet at scale
and provide bulk product samples for customer qualification in the several sectors including,
battery, industrial, and defense sectors.

Next Steps
Titan will continue downstream optimization and initiate electrochemical performance testing of
its spherical graphite. Bulk samples produced from the demonstration facility are expected to be
available for customer qualification and offtake discussions in late 2025.
