Titan Mining has commenced of shipping of graphite concentrate from its demonstration facility and launched of its feasibility study (FS) for its planned 40,000 tonne per annum Kilbourne Graphite Project in New York.
“The launch of the feasibility study marks Kilbourne’s transition from concept to execution. With an integrated mine-to-processed graphite strategy and federal financing support, we are advancing a project designed to strengthen U.S. supply chain resilience and enable large-scale domestic natural graphite production in the near term,” said Rita Adiani, president and chief executive officer of Titan Mining.
The graphite demonstration plant at ESM has produced ~1,600 kgs of graphite concentrate and continues to ramp up to its nameplate capacity. Customer qualification shipments are underway. Titan is the only end to end producer of natural flake graphite in the United States and is actively working to end 100 percent import reliance of this critical material for energy, defense, and industrial uses.
As part of advancing the feasibility study, infill drilling, together with geotechnical and exploration drilling aimed at mineral resource expansion, commenced in the fourth quarter of 2025. With approximately 82 percent of infill drilling and 51 percent of exploration drilling now complete, the company expects to both expand its current mineral resource estimate and further optimize mine design.
The feasibility study represents a critical milestone in transitioning Kilbourne from demonstration-scale production to a fully integrated mine, concentrator, and secondary transformation operation producing various graphite products.
The study will evaluate final mine design, resource upgrade to reserves, processing optimization, infrastructure requirements, environmental advancement, and detailed capital and operating cost estimates.
Titan is targeting a construction decision in late 2026 or early 2027, with construction activities anticipated to commence in 2027, subject to study results, permitting progress, and financing.
Titan Mining is an Augusta Group company which produces zinc concentrate at its 100 percent owned Empire State Mine located in New York state. Titan is also an emerging natural flake graphite producer and targeting to be the USA’s first end to end producer of natural flake graphite in 70 years. Titan’s goal is to deliver shareholder value through operational excellence, development and exploration. They have a strong commitment towards developing critical minerals assets which enhance the security of the domestic supply chain.
