Executive Summary

  • Independent downstream testing confirmed that Kilbourne natural flake graphite can be processed into high‑purity spherical, micronized and purified products meeting battery, industrial and defence specifications.
  • Demonstration facility construction is ~70 % complete with commissioning slated for Q4 2025; bulk samples for customer qualification are expected in late 2025.
  • The results support Titan’s strategy to become the first fully integrated U.S. producer of natural flake graphite, enhancing supply‑chain security and opening diversified revenue streams.

Key Details

  • Test‑work outcomes:
  • Spherical graphite (USPG) – 99.99 % purity, high tap density, suitable for Li‑ion battery anodes.
  • Micronized & purified products – >99.9 % purity, meeting refractories, lubricants, automotive and specialty industrial specs.

  • Ultra‑high purity material qualifies for defence‑specification uses (thermal management, composites, coatings, energy storage).

  • Demonstration facility status:

  • ~70 % of equipment delivered; installation ongoing in St. Lawrence County, NY.

  • Commissioning targeted for Q4 2025.

  • Next steps:

  • Continue downstream process optimization and begin electrochemical performance testing of spherical graphite.

  • Produce bulk samples from the demonstration plant for customer qualification and off‑take discussions anticipated in late 2025.

  • Quality assurance:

  • Testing performed by ProGraphite GmbH (Germany) under ISO 9001‑compliant QMS; third‑party calibration standards used.

  • Qualified person review:

  • Oliver Peters, Principal Metallurgist & President, Metpro Management Inc., NI 43‑101 qualified, independently verified all technical data and methodologies.

Notable Quotes

“This is a key milestone as we advance toward becoming the first fully integrated U.S. producer of natural flake graphite in more than 70 years.” – Don Taylor, CEO

“Equally important, Kilbourne strengthens U.S. supply chain security by reducing reliance on foreign graphite.” – Rita Adiani, President

Materiality Assessment: Material – Positive (the disclosed test results and facility progress materially advance Titan’s commercial strategy and potential revenue generation.)
