TORONTO, Oct. 4 /CNW/ - Titanium Corporation Inc. (TSX-V: TIC) is pleased to announce that its pilot mineral concentrator plant has been successfully commissioned on-site in Fort McMurray, Alberta. The operation of this heavy mineral concentrator on-site is an important step in Titanium Corporation's 2006 Pilot Program to finalize the Company's process flow sheet to optimize the recovery and separation of heavy minerals from mined oil sands tailings. As a result of technical work conducted in 2005, the Company's engineering team redesigned the process flow sheet. The Company's strategic plan was modified to focus the first phase of development on the production of zircon, followed by an expansion phase to produce titanium products. Zircon continues to remain in high demand world wide and has experienced significant price increases (for more information on the 2006 Pilot Program, please listen to the Company's August 16, 2006 conference call by clicking on the following link: http://www.titaniumcorporation.com/s/Presentations.asp).

The pilot mineral concentrator was constructed in Australia in modules, a strategy which is proving highly efficient with project timing and costs tracking within the original budget of C$3 million. Following decommissioning of the pilot mineral concentrator in late October 2006, the mineral concentrate that is produced will be shipped to Titanium Corporation's Regina facility for separation processing and analysis during the fourth calendar quarter of 2006.
