Titan Mining On Track to Become the Only Fully Integrated U.S. Graphite
Producer by Q4 2025
Gouverneur, New York – July 21, 2025 – Titan Mining Corporation (TSX: TI; OTCQB: TIMCF)
(“Titan” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the construction of its graphite
processing facility for its Kilbourne Graphite Project at Empire State Mines LLC (“ESM”), its wholly
owned subsidiary located in St. Lawrence County, New York.
Highlights:
• First Fully Integrated U.S. Graphite Producer in 70+ Years: Titan on track to deliver
domestically sourced and processed natural graphite in Q4 2025.
• Major Construction Milestone Achieved : Over 5 0% of major equipment delivered;
installation starting August 2025, commissioning targeted for Q4 2025.
• North American Supply Chain Focus : Over 90% of equipment sourced in North
America, majority from the United States, supporting domestic manufacturing.
• Permitted and Ready for Operations: All key operating permits secured; sales
qualification targeted for Q1 2026.
• Tariff-Free, Secure U.S. Supply: Titan offers a reliable, tariff-free graphite source amidst
rising global trade restrictions and tariffs on imports.
• Strategic Advantage with Existing Infrastructure: Utilizes the Company’s skilled 135+
person workforce, on-site power, and logistics network to fast-track readiness.
• Clear Pathway to Growth: The Kilbourne Graphite Project offers significant scalability,
positioning Titan to be able to meet a majority of projected U.S. graphite demand in key
sectors.
The recent arrival and placement of the ball mill —shown in the image below —marks another
significant milestone in advancing toward operational readiness.
Don Taylor, CEO of Titan commented: “ Graphite is a critical material, yet the U.S. has gone
decades without domestic production. The current resource outlined at Kilbourne represents only
8,300 ft of strike length tested of a known total strike length of 25,000 ft. Kilbourne has significant
resource expansion potential to meet the demands of U.S, natural flake graphite over a long- term
period. Our facility is a major step toward restoring U.S. industrial graphite capability and
delivering a fully Made in America natural graphite product in 2025 .”
Rita Adiani, President of Titan commented: “With escalating tariffs on imports and tightening trade
restrictions globally, Titan is uniquely positioned to offer secure, tariff-free, U.S.-produced graphite
to industrial markets. By investing in U.S.-sourced equipment, leveraging existing infrastructure,
and maintaining a skilled domestic workforce, Titan provides customers with a reliable alternative
amidst growing supply chain uncertainty.”
