Titan Mining commenced graphite concentrate production at its Kilbourne demonstration facility. Titan has successfully produced natural flake graphite concentrate, now transitioning to the production of material for customer and government qualification programs, marking the first step in re-establishing a domestic natural graphite supply chain in the United States for the first time in more than seven decades. Titan is also advancing financing discussions with the U.S. Export-Import Bank with respect to the previously announced letter of interest for the $120M loan facility, which would provide long-term, non-dilutive capital funding for the majority of the Kilbourne project's development, and expects to have an update in the near term. The company is also engaged with other federal agencies regarding complementary, accretive funding solutions. This production coincides with the issuance of a new Executive Order by the White House directing the application of Section 232 authorities to processed critical minerals and their derivative products, including natural graphite, in response to persistent U.S. import dependence and downstream supply-chain vulnerabilities. The graphite demonstration facility, located within Titan's existing Empire State Mine infrastructure, is designed to produce approximately 1,200 tons per year of graphite concentrate, providing a critical bridge to commercial scale. This milestone materially advances the Kilbourne Graphite Project toward its targeted 40,000-ton-per-year production profile, which could supply a substantial portion of current U.S. natural graphite demand.

Reason
Maxim initiated coverage of Titan Mining with a Buy rating and $6 price target. Titan is positioned to expand from zinc to profitable graphite production, potentially becoming the sole U.S. producer of battery-grade graphite and reducing reliance on China's 80% share of global supply, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Industry tailwinds, recent equity and debt raises, and planned project funding set the stage for growth, alongside profitable zinc operations and anticipated capital raises in 2026, Maxim adds.
