Titan Mining Delivers Record Zinc Production in 2025 and Provides Guidance for 2026

 

 

 

 

 

8% YoY production growth and 28% sequential increase in Q4 2025 output underscore strong operational momentum

 

Titan Mining Corporation (NYSE-A:TII) (TSX:TI), an existing zinc concentrate producer in upstate New York and an emerging natural flake graphite producer (a key component of the broader rare earths and critical minerals ecosystem), is pleased to provide production results for the year ended December 31, 2025, and production, cost and capital expenditure guidance for 2026.

 

The Company achieved record production in 2025 and met full year production guidance at its wholly owned Empire State Mines.

 

Highlights:

  • Delivered record zinc production of 64.2 million payable pounds in 2025, up 8% from 2024
  • Achieved full-year production guidance, with Q4 output of 18.7 million pounds, up 28% sequentially
  • 2026 production guidance of 62–66 million payable pounds, reflecting a mine plan focused on development, access to higher-quality ore and long-term value optimization
  • First production of graphite concentrate from the Kilbourne facility has commenced with ongoing optimization and qualification runs
  • Germanium identified in zinc process streams is being analyzed for optimal recovery techniques, with ongoing exploration of partnership options with technology partners

 

2025 was a strong operational year for Titan, marked by record zinc production and disciplined execution against our mine plan. Our 2026 plan reflects a deliberate focus on development and access to high quality ore bodies to support value optimization. With the advancement of the N2D zone and start of graphite production at Kilbourne, Titan enters 2026 well positioned to create long term sustainable value,” said Rita Adiani, President and Chief Executive Officer of Titan Mining.

 

TABLE 1 Operating Highlights
        2025    
    FY Q4 Q3 Q2 Q1
Payable zinc produced mlbs 64.26 18.74 14.64 15.51 15.37
Payable zinc sold mlbs 64.20 18.78 13.81 16.04 15.57
             

Note: The sum of the quarters in the table above may not equal the full-year amounts disclosed elsewhere due to rounding.

 

2025 cost results will be disclosed in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial results, expected to be released in March.

 

Operations Review

 

Mining in Q4 2025 focused on the Lower Mahler, New Fold, and Mud Pond Apron zones. Extraction of high-grade pillars in Lower Mahler and a high-grade stope in New Fold supported improved mill feed grades in the second half of the year, contributing to the achievement of full-year production guidance of over 64 million payable pounds of zinc.

 

Mining in the N2D zone was temporarily suspended in July 2025 as part of planned sequencing, allowing the operation to prioritize higher-grade areas. Reactivation of N2D is planned in 2026 and will provide additional operational flexibility.

 

New mobile equipment strengthened underground development and production capacity, driving stronger performance in Q4. The 2026 capital plan includes further equipment additions to enhance development and operational reliability.

 

Graphite Update

 

In 2025, Titan advanced its Kilbourne natural flake graphite project at Empire State Mines. The Company commenced commissioning of the graphite demonstration facility in the fourth quarter and produced its first concentrate in January 2026.

 

The facility represents the first U.S. natural flake graphite processing plant in over 70 years and serves as a platform for customer qualification, product testing, and offtake discussions. Current operating capacity is approximately 1,200 tonnes per year, with potential to ramp up to 2,500 tonnes per year of design capacity on a two-shift basis. The plant enables metallurgical optimization and technical de-risking at operating scale, supporting customer product validation. This capability is a key step toward rebuilding a secure, domestic critical minerals supply chain.

 

Guidance for 2026

 

Production guidance for 2026 is estimated to be between 73 – 78 million zinc recoverable pounds or 62 – 66 million zinc payable pounds. C1 Cash Cost for 2026 is estimated between $0.93 and $1.01 per payable pound, and AISC for 2026 is estimated between $1.07 and $1.17 per payable pound.
