- Strong Project Economics: The Kilbourne Graphite Project boasts an after-tax NPV of $513 million and a 37% IRR with a payback period of just 2.7 years, indicating its high return potential within the U.S. graphite sector.
- Expanded Government Support: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) has approved an additional $5.5 million in non-dilutive funding to accelerate the feasibility study, underscoring the government's strategic emphasis on enhancing U.S. independence in critical mineral supply chains.
- Significant Production Scale: The Kilbourne project is expected to produce approximately 40,000 metric tonnes of graphite concentrate annually, nearly 50% of current U.S. demand, significantly bolstering domestic graphite supply capabilities to meet national security and defense needs.
- Job Creation and Economic Impact: The project is anticipated to create around 160 permanent positions, driving local economic growth and supporting tax revenue contributions for New York State, further solidifying Titan's market position in the critical minerals sector.
