- Project Launch: Titan Mining has commenced ore feeding at its Kilbourne graphite demonstration facility, marking the first restoration of U.S. natural flake graphite production in over 70 years, advancing the project toward initial graphite concentrate production.
- Capacity Goals: The facility is designed for an annual output of 1,200 tonnes, with a future target of 40,000 tonnes per year, potentially supplying nearly half of current U.S. natural graphite demand, thereby addressing supply chain vulnerabilities due to global graphite export restrictions.
- Funding Support: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) has approved $5.5 million in non-dilutive funding to accelerate feasibility work and issued a non-binding Letter of Interest for up to $120 million in project financing, underscoring the strategic importance of restoring a fully integrated U.S. graphite supply chain.
- Market Impact: Titan's Kilbourne Project Study confirmed strong project economics, further enhancing the company's market position in critical minerals and supporting U.S. independence in battery-grade natural flake graphite supply.
