[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\nTORONTO, Oct. 4 /CNW/ - Titanium Corporation Inc. (TSX-V: TIC) is pleased\nto announce that its pilot mineral concentrator plant has been successfully\ncommissioned on-site in Fort McMurray, Alberta.\nThe operation of this heavy mineral concentrator on-site is an important\nstep in Titanium Corporation's 2006 Pilot Program to finalize the Company's\nprocess flow sheet to optimize the recovery and separation of heavy minerals\nfrom mined oil sands tailings. As a result of technical work conducted in\n2005, the Company's engineering team redesigned the process flow sheet. The\nCompany's strategic plan was modified to focus the first phase of development\non the production of zircon, followed by an expansion phase to produce\ntitanium products. Zircon continues to remain in high demand world wide and\nhas experienced significant price increases (for more information on the 2006\nPilot Program, please listen to the Company's August 16, 2006 conference call\nby clicking on the following link:\nhttp://www.titaniumcorporation.com/s/Presentations.asp).\nTo view a photo showing Titanium Corporation's mineral concentrator pilot\nplant on-site in Fort McMurray, please visit:\nhttp://files.newswire.ca/445/TitaniumPilotMineral.jpg.

Following decommissioning\nof the pilot mineral concentrator in late October 2006, the mineral\nconcentrate that is produced will be shipped to Titanium Corporation's Regina\nfacility for separation processing and analysis during the fourth calendar\nquarter of 2006.\n\nAbout Titanium Corporation\n--------------------------\n\nTitanium Corporation Inc. is a Canadian company developing a commercial\nminerals recovery project in the Fort McMurray, Athabaska oil sands region.\nThrough extensive research, including the construction and operation of pilot\nand portable processing facilities, the Company has developed proprietary\nprocesses and technology to recover valuable titanium-bearing minerals and\nzircon from oil sands tailings.
