Company plans to construct sampling plant at Syncrude site in Ft. McMurray TORONTO, April 26 /CNW/ - Titanium Corporation Inc. (TSXV: TIC) today announces that the three way exclusivity agreement between Syncrude Canada Ltd., Titanium Corporation Inc. and a major titanium dioxide pigment producer has been extended for a further 12 months. As a further development of the oil sands mineral recovery project, Titanium Corporation is now proceeding with the design, engineering and installation of a bulk sampling facility to be erected at the oil sands tailings site in Ft. McMurray. The bulk sampling plant is a small-scale wet mill facility, which will separate the oil and water from mineral-bearing sand. This solid material will then be trucked to Titanium Corporation's demonstration plant in Regina for further processing. The bulk sampling plant will provide further confirmation of the consistency of the material from which titanium and zircon products are being produced at the Regina facility. The plant, which will be fabricated in Australia, is anticipated to be operational by late Summer 2005 and it will operate for several months. The Company estimates a total capital and operating expense of CAD $625,000.
