[{"type":"text","content":"Titan Mining Launches Made-in-America Graphite Production as U.S. Moves to Secure Critical MineralsNew White House action strengthens the case for Made-in-America critical minerals\nGOUVERNEUR, N.Y., Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Titan Mining Corporation (TSX:TI, NYSE-A:TII), (“Titan” or the “Company”) an existing zinc concentrate producer in upstate New York and an emerging natural flake graphite producer (a key component of the broader rare earths and critical minerals ecosystem), announced the commencement of graphite concentrate production at its Kilbourne demonstration facility. Titan has successfully produced natural flake graphite concentrate, now transitioning to the production of material for customer and government qualification programs, marking the first step in re-establishing a domestic natural graphite supply chain in the United States for the first time in more than seven decades. Titan is also advancing financing discussions with the U.S. Export-Import Bank with respect to the previously announced letter of interest for the US$120 million loan facility, which would provide long-term, non-dilutive capital funding for the majority of the Kilbourne project’s development, and expects to have an update in the near term. The Company is also engaged with other federal agencies regarding complementary, accretive funding solutions. This production coincides with the issuance of a new Executive Order by the White House directing the application of Section 232 authorities to processed critical minerals and their derivative products, including natural graphite, in response to persistent U.S. import dependence and downstream supply-chain vulnerabilities. The Executive Order explicitly recognizes that domestic mining alone does not ensure supply security where processing capacity remains concentrated offshore. “With Kilbourne now producing, Titan is aligned with the federal government’s clear policy direction: rebuilding secure, end-to-end U.S. supply chains for critical minerals,” said Rita Adiani, President and Chief Executive Officer of Titan Mining. “The combination of first domestic production and decisive trade and industrial policy action materially de-risks the path to commercial scale.” The graphite demonstration facility, located within Titan&...
