Titanium Corporation announces successful operation of live tailings flow bulk sampling facility

TORONTO, Sept. 29 /CNW/ - Titanium Corporation Inc. (TSXV:TIC) is pleased
to announce the successful completion of its bulk sampling program as a
primary step to extracting mineral sands from the live tailings flow from oil
sands operations in Fort McMurray, Alberta. During August, 2005, Titanium
Corporation commissioned a Company-designed, portable wet plant at the oil
sands tailings site. The 12 tonne per hour capacity unit was connected to the
oil sands tailings pipeline and a measured flow of oil sands tailings were
processed to extract tonnages of washed sands containing high concentrations
of heavy minerals averaging approximately 24%. The washed sands are being
evaluated for titanium dioxide (TiO2) content at Titanium Corporation's Pilot
processing facilities in Regina, where the Company's proprietary technology
for processing oil sands tailings was developed in 2004. This marks the first
use of live tailings feedstock. Previous processing utilized sands from the
tailings pond area which contains millions of tonnes of tailings with high
concentrations of heavy minerals.

"The completion of the on-site bulk sampling program represents another
important technical milestone in the development of this new mineral resource
for Canada. The capability to recover heavy minerals from both deposited and
live tailings increases the potential production of valuable titanium-bearing
and zircon minerals from the oil sands," says Titanium Corporation's President
and CEO, Scott Nelson.
The innovative technology developed by Titanium Corporation's technical
team provides a valuable use for waste tailings with a number of environmental
and cost advantages over mineral sands mined conventionally in other parts of
the world. With the addition of the portable unit and Titanium Corporation's
Pilot mineral processing facility, the Company now has the capability to
quickly assess deposited and live tailings at other oil sands sites.
