Titan Mining to Start Shipping First Graphite Product and Feasibility Study Underway for 40,000 tpa Integrated Kilbourne Graphite Project

Core Viewpoint - Titan Mining Corporation is advancing its Kilbourne Graphite Project, which aims to supply approximately 50% of the U.S. natural graphite demand and reduce the country's reliance on imports [1][8]. Project Overview - The Kilbourne Graphite Project is planned to produce 40,000 tonnes per annum of natural flake graphite [1][8]. - The project has commenced shipping graphite concentrate from its demonstration facility and has launched a fully-funded Feasibility Study (FS) [1][2]. Feasibility Study Details - The FS will evaluate mine design, resource upgrades, processing optimization, infrastructure needs, environmental considerations, and cost estimates [5][8]. - Infill drilling and exploration drilling for mineral resource expansion began in Q4 2025, with 82% of infill drilling and 51% of exploration drilling completed [3][5]. Timeline and Goals - Titan is targeting a construction decision by late 2026 or early 2027, with construction activities expected to start in 2027, contingent on study results and financing [6][8]. - The project is designed to enhance U.S. supply chain resilience and enable large-scale domestic production of natural graphite [6][8]. Engineering and Technical Support - A multidisciplinary engineering team has been appointed to support the FS, including firms specializing in mining, processing, and infrastructure [7][9]. - The FS is co-funded by the Export-Import Bank of the United States to assist in project financing [8]. Company Background - Titan Mining Corporation is the only end-to-end producer of natural flake graphite in the U.S. and aims to enhance the security of the domestic supply chain for critical minerals [18].
