Titan Mining Finds Significant Concentrations of Germanium at its Empire State Mine in New York
Discovery of the mineral expands Titan’s Empire State Mine into a Growing Critical Metals Complex
Gouverneur, NY – October 20, 2025 – Titan Mining Corporation (TSX: TI; OTCQB: TIMCF) (“Titan” or the “Company”), an existing zinc concentrate producer in upstate New York and an emerging natural flake graphite producer, a key component in the broader rare earths and critical minerals ecosystem, today announced the discovery of significant concentrations of germanium (“Ge”) within existing process streams at its wholly owned Empire State Mine (“ESM”) in St. Lawrence County, New York.
Germanium, a U.S.-designated critical mineral, is essential to semiconductors, fiber optics, night-vision systems, and clean-energy technologies—industries for which the United States relies almost entirely on imports.
Key Highlights
Germanium identified in existing zinc-processing circuit—no new mining required.
Initial sampling of the plant feed graded 21 g/t germanium, which was enriched to 77 g/t in the pre-float stream, where the material is more concentrated. The ESM plant has an annual plant feed of 474,000 mt.
Germanium prices are approximately US$6,000/kg, with global supply dominated by China.
Potential to satisfy a substantial portion of U.S. germanium demand through recovery from existing material streams.
Potential recovery enabled through Titan’s existing processing infrastructure, minimizing additional capital requirements.
“Germanium represents an exciting new value driver for Titan and a strategic asset for the United States,” said Rita Adiani, President and CEO of Titan Mining. “Leveraging our existing operations at Empire State Mine allows us to accelerate development at minimal cost while contributing to a stronger, more resilient U.S. critical minerals supply chain.”
Next Steps
Plant Survey: Titan completed a four-week survey, collecting daily samples from 11 areas of its processing circuit to measure germanium levels. The results will show where germanium is found in the system and guide further testing.
Test Program: The Company has started focused test work to determine the best and most cost-effective way to recover germanium from existing zinc operations. This includes detailed mineral analysis and trials of different recovery methods to produce a high-grade product or concentrate.
Resource Consistency: Ongoing sampling is confirming that germanium is consistently present throughout the remaining zinc resource.
About Germanium
Germanium is a rare, silver-gray element essential to defense and advanced-technology systems. It is used in:
Infrared optics and thermal-imaging devices for military night-vision, surveillance, and targeting systems.
Satellite solar cells and high-frequency electronics critical to aerospace and communications.
Semiconductors and fiber-optic cables used in high-speed computing and secure data networks.
As germanium is a key material in modern warfare and intelligence technologies, the U.S. Department of War classifies it as a critical mineral vital to national security. The United States currently imports nearly all its germanium—with a major share sourced from China and Russia—making Titan’s discovery in New York a potential first step toward restoring a secure, domestic supply.

Titan to Start Natural Graphite Production Amid Rising Global Supply Constraints at Empire State Mines in New York
October 14, 2025
Titan Positions Itself as a U.S. Leader in Natural Graphite Production With New Restrictions on Graphite & Rare Earth Exports from China
Gouverneur, NY, October 14, 2025 – Titan Mining Corporation (TSX:TI, OTCQB: TIMCF), (“Titan” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it is on track to commence production of graphite concentrate at its Empire State Mines (“ESM”) — making Titan the only natural flake graphite company positioned for near-term production in the United States.
“China’s decision to tighten graphite exports underscores the importance of having a secure domestic supply of natural graphite,” said Rita Adiani, President & CEO of Titan. “Natural graphite touches every strategic sector—from defense to energy to AI data centers—and the U.S. currently produces none of it. Titan is changing that by re-establishing natural flake graphite production and high-purity graphite processing here at home to support the technologies and systems that keep America strong.”
Titan’s integrated demonstration facility will produce natural flake graphite in micronized and high-purity forms sourced from Titan’s wholly owned Kilbourne deposit, located immediately adjacent to ESM. This program is designed to confirm commercial-scale recoveries, refine the flowsheet, and generate offtake samples for North American and allied defense, energy, and industrial customers.
This milestone comes as the People’s Republic of China tightens previously announced export restrictions on critical minerals—first on rare earths under MOFCOM Announcement No. 61 (2025) followed closely by expanded controls on artificial graphite and blended anode materials under MOFCOM Announcement No. 58 (2025)—a move expected to further tighten global supply of both synthetic and natural graphite feedstocks. The new restrictions underscore the strategic importance of Titan’s progress in establishing a secure, fully domestic graphite supply chain critical to U.S. defense readiness.
Titan is supported by the U.S. Export-Import Bank, which is the Company’s existing lender and has provided a Letter of Interest for up to US $120 million in financing under its Make More in America initiative for Titan’s commercial graphite facility. The Company continues to collaborate with the U.S. Department of War and U.S. Department of Energy on various other funding opportunities.
Building on its successful demonstration phase, Titan is targeting ramp-up to a 40,000-tonne-per-year commercial graphite facility, which would be capable of supplying approximately half of current U.S. natural graphite demand—positioning Titan as the cornerstone of America’s re-emerging graphite supply chain.

Titan Mining Receives Financing Interest of up to US$120 Million from U.S. EXIM Bank for Kilbourne Graphite Project
October 7, 2025
Gouverneur, NY, October 7, 2025 – Titan Mining Corporation (TSX:TI, OTCQB: TIMCF), (“Titan” or the “Company”) an existing zinc concentrate producer in upstate New York and an emerging natural flake graphite producer, is pleased to announce that the Export-Import Bank of the United States (“EXIM”) has expressed financing interest of up to US$120 million under its “Make More in America” (“MMIA”) initiative for the construction of Titan’s wholly owned Kilbourne Graphite Project in St. Lawrence County, New York.
In parallel with EXIM’s MMIA process, Titan continues to collaborate with the Administration and other U.S. Government Agencies such as the Department of War and the Department of Energy on opportunities for coordinated participation in Titan’s critical-minerals plan through strategic funding, inclusion as a key stakeholder and policy programs incentivizing domestic production and secure resilient supply chains.
A finalized commitment package of this amount from EXIM would potentially represent a substantial portion of the capital required to construct the Kilbourne Project, providing a clear path to development that leverages federal partnership support and Titan’s strong operating cash flow from its Empire State Mines zinc operations. The Company expects the overall financing structure to be highly capital-efficient for shareholders.
EXIM issued a Letter of Interest (“LI”) recognizing the Kilbourne Project as a strategic U.S. critical-minerals asset aligned with national priorities that will create high-quality American jobs and strengthen U.S. supply chain resilience. The potential financing would support construction of Titan’s planned 40,000-tonne-per-year commercial natural flake graphite facility adjacent to its operating Empire State Mines zinc complex.
Under the indicative terms, EXIM would consider recommending a direct loan of up to US$120 million with a repayment tenor of approximately 12 years, including an interest-only period. The loan would reference the Commercial Interest Reference Rate (CIRR), currently around 5.0%, and would be subject to EXIM’s standard due diligence, environmental, and policy review processes prior to final Board approval.
Rita Adiani, President & CEO of Titan Mining, commented:
“We are proud to expand our partnership with EXIM as we advance the Kilbourne Graphite Project—an asset that will create high-quality U.S. jobs, strengthen critical-mineral supply chains, and position Titan as the leading fully integrated natural flake graphite producer in the United States. This Letter of Interest marks a major milestone toward securing long-term, competitive-rate financing for project development as we continue to prioritize capital efficiency and disciplined balance sheet management supporting any construction decision at the Kilbourne Project.”
EXIM’s MMIA initiative supports domestic manufacturing and critical-infrastructure investments that enhance U.S. competitiveness, job creation, and export potential. Titan previously received EXIM support for expansion of its Empire State Mines zinc operations, underscoring the Company’s track record in successfully partnering with federal agencies to deliver strategic projects in New York State.
The EXIM Letter of Interest (issued prior to the government shutdown)1 is non-binding and does not represent a financing commitment. Titan will continue to work closely with EXIM’s MMIA team to advance due diligence and structure a definitive financing package for the Kilbourne Project in the months ahead.

1 C1 Cash Cost, All-In Sustaining Cost (“AISC”) and Net Debt are non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, these financial measures are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. These financial measures have been calculated on a basis consistent with historical periods. Information explaining these non-GAAP measures is provided below under “Non-GAAP Performance Measures”.
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.
Qualified Person
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Donald R. Taylor, MSc., PG, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Taylor is a qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101. Mr. Taylor has more than 25 years of mineral exploration and mining experience and is a Registered Professional Geologist through the SME (Registered Member #4029597).
Non-GAAP Performance Measures
This document includes non-GAAP performance measures, discussed below, that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The performance measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. The Company believes that these performance measures are commonly used by certain investors, in conjunction with conventional GAAP measures, to enhance their understanding of the Company's performance. The Company uses these performance measures extensively in internal decision-making processes, including to assess how well the Empire State Mine is performing and to assist in the assessment of the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the mine site management team. The tables below provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures as contained within the Company's issued financial statements.
C1 Cash Cost Per Payable Pound Sold
C1 cash cost is a non-GAAP measure. C1 cash cost represents the cash cost incurred at each processing stage, from mining through to recoverable metal delivered to customers, including mine site operating and general and administrative costs, freight, treatment and refining charges.
The C1 cash cost per payable pound sold is calculated by dividing the total C1 cash costs by payable pounds of metal sold.
All-in Sustaining Costs
AISC measures the estimated cash costs to produce a pound of payable zinc plus the estimated capital sustaining costs to maintain the mine and mill. This measure includes the C1 cash cost and capital sustaining costs divided by pounds of payable zinc sold. AISC does not include depreciation, depletion, amortization, reclamation and exploration expenses.
