Fast-tracking the development of the co-located Kilbourne Graphite Project at the Empire State Mine complex. The initiative includes the operation of a 1,200 tonnes per annum demonstration facility (commissioned in late 2025 with production starting in early 2026) to serve as a platform for customer qualification, and the execution of a Feasibility Study for a commercial-scale 40,000 tonnes per annum integrated operation.

Expected impact: Establishes Titan as the first end-to-end producer of natural flake graphite in the United States since 1956, targeting a commercial-scale operation with robust economics (PEA outlined a $513M NPV and 37% IRR).

Evaluating the recovery of germanium from existing process and waste streams (pre-float and scavenger tailings) at the Empire State Mines process plant in collaboration with Teck Resources.

Expected impact: Unlocks incremental cash flow from material already being processed, with an initial review indicating the potential for approximately 13,000 kg/year of contained germanium, supporting the domestic supply of critical minerals for defense and semiconductors.

Executing an integrated drilling program designed to maximize capital efficiency by advancing both graphite and zinc exploration concurrently. The graphite-bearing Unit UM2 horizon acts as a structural proxy for underlying units associated with zinc mineralization, allowing the generation of zinc targets alongside graphite delineation.

Expected impact: Supports resource expansion, longer mine life, and increased development flexibility across the 120,000-acre land package, including targets like Bend, Moss Ridge, and Bostwick.
