Titan Mining Delivers Strong Q2 Results; On Track to Commission First Integrated U.S. Graphite Facility in 2025

 

 

 

 

 

Titan Mining Corporation (TSX: TI) (OTCQB: TIMCF) announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company met quarterly production guidance at its Empire State Mines LLC and is on track to be the first end to end producer of natural flake graphite in the United States by Q4 2025.

 

Q2 25 HIGHLIGHTS:(1)

  • Payable zinc production of 15.5 million pounds, up 7% from Q2 2024
  • Revenues of $16.3 million, C1 cash costs and AISC of $0.90/lb
  • Cash flow from operations of $2.4 million
  • Reduction in net debt by 21% from Q2 2024
  • Cash balance of $8.1 million at quarter end
  • EXIM Bank financing secured for $15.8 million, the first direct mining loan under its Make More in America Initiative (2)
  • Strong safety performance, with an injury frequency rate well below the U.S. national average
  • Over 40,000 acres of mineral rights added through lease and option to lease agreements with St. Lawrence County in May 2025. This expands the Company’s mineral tenure to over 120,000 acres in upstate New York and increases the discovery opportunities for additional zinc and graphite resources as well as iron-oxide copper gold deposits
  • Graphite processing facility construction underway at ESM site; over 50% of major equipment delivered
  • Expected commissioning in Q4 2025, making Titan the first integrated producer of natural flake graphite in the U.S. in over 70 years.

(2) The EXIM Bank Financing was completed on July 21, 2025, subsequent to end of Q2 2025.

 

Don Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Titan, commented, “Our Q2 performance reflects consistent execution at ESM, with strong production, start-up of the N2D zone and continued cost control. Importantly, our graphite project has moved from concept to construction, supported by public and private sector backing. Titan is building the foundation to become a multi-commodity, integrated supplier of critical minerals to the U.S. economy”.

 

Rita Adiani, President of Titan commented: “Titan is executing a unique dual-commodity strategy. Our zinc operations continue to generate cash flow, while the Kilbourne graphite first phase processing facility is rapidly progressing toward commissioning. With strong government support and tangible progress on-site, we’re positioning Titan as a future-facing, U.S.-based supplier of both industrial and critical minerals”.

ZINC OPERATIONS REVIEW

 

Mining during the quarter continued in the Mahler, New Fold, and Mud Pond zones at the #4 mine, with additional production initiated from the N2D zone for the first time since May 2023. High-grade ore from the Lower Mahler zone supported above-budget output. N2D production is ramping from 250 to 500 tons per day in Q3.

 

GRAPHITE UPDATE

 

Construction of the Kilbourne graphite demonstration plant is advancing, with over half of major equipment being delivered and site installation underway. Commissioning is on track for Q4 2025. Once operational, the facility will be the first to produce natural flake graphite end-to-end in the U.S. in over 70 years. Technical studies for the project are underway.

 

EXPLORATION UPDATE

 

The Company added additional 43,942 acres of mineral rights added through lease and option to lease agreements with St. Lawrence County in May of 2025 (See press release dated May 8th, 2025 “Titan Mining Signs Cooperative Agreements with St. Lawrence County, Expands Mineral Tenure to Greater Than 120,000 acres in Upstate New York”). Titan continues to evaluate the potential of the district for base, industrial, and precious metals. Multiple areas with historically documented graphite mineralization have been identified, with confirmed graphite mineralization within the ESM mineral tenure. The St. Lawrence County agreement has added the Parish Magnetite prospect to the Company’s target list, a possible Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) occurrence in the historic Adirondack Magnetite Belt.

 

Underground drill programs in the second quarter of 2025 targeted Mahler, New Fold, N2D and Mud Pond. Underground drilling totaled 21 drill holes and 8,894ft (2,710 m). All underground drilling was completed with Company-owned underground drills by Company employees. Drilling continues to hit mineralization at anticipated grades outside of the existing life of mine model signifying mine life expansion potential.

 

Surface drilling continued with Company drills in the second quarter with drilling at Pleasant Valley and Pork Creek for a total of 3,154ft (961.3m). Drilling for 2025 is expected to continue at previously outlined targets including Parish.

 

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

 

Core drilling was completed using ESM owned and operated drills which produced AWJ (1.374 in) size drill core. All core was logged by ESM employees. The core was washed, logged, photographed, and sampled. All core samples were cut in half, lengthwise, using a diamond saw with a diamond-impregnated blade and sampled on 5 ft intervals with adjustments made to match geological contacts. After a sample is cut, one half of the core was returned to the original core box for reference and long-term storage. The second half was placed in a plastic or cloth sample bag, labeled with the corresponding sample identification number, along with a sample tag. All sample bags were secured with staples or a draw string, weighed and packed in shipping boxes.

 

Shipping boxes are placed on pallets and shipped by freight to ALS Geochemistry (“ALS”), an independent ISO/IEC accredited lab located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. ALS prepares a pulp of all samples and sends the pulps to their analytical laboratory in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, for analysis. ALS analyzes the pulp sample by an aqua regia digestion (ME-ICP41 for 35 elements) with an ICP – AES finish including Cu (copper), Pb (lead), and Zn (zinc). All samples in which Cu (copper), Pb (lead), or Zn (zinc) are greater than 10,000 ppm are re-run using aqua regia digestion (Cu-OG46; Pb-OG46; and Zn-OG46) with the elements reported in percentage (%). Silver values are determined by an aqua regia digestion with an ICP-AES finish (ME-ICP41) with all samples with silver values greater than 100 ppm repeated using an aqua regia digestion overlimit method (Ag-OG46) calibrated for higher levels of silver contained. Gold values are determined by a 30 g fire assay with an ICP-AES finish (Au-ICP21).

 

Mr. Taylor has a fulsome staff of experts on-site that thoroughly review and verify ESM technical data on a regular basis, as described above. For this reason, Mr. Taylor has relied entirely on such verification procedures for verifying the scientific and technical data in this news release. Mr. Taylor has not identified any legal, political, environmental, or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of the mineral resources disclosed herein.
