Titan’s Made-in-America Graphite Hits Production Milestone
Titan Mining (TSX: TI), NIA’s #1 favorite overall stock suggestion for 2026, recently hit a new all-time high of $7.75 per share, up 822.62% since NIA’s initial suggestion at $0.84 per share on April 17th, before a healthy profit-taking pullback.
Titan has now begun producing the first newly produced U.S. natural graphite since the 1950s, a development that has attracted mainstream media coverage from both AP News and Fox Business as the U.S. moves to reduce its reliance on China, which currently supplies roughly 42% of U.S. graphite imports.
With Titan now also listed on the NYSE American under the symbol TII, today’s announcement marks a major operational and strategic milestone as Washington tightens procurement rules for critical minerals under the National Defense Authorization Act and new White House actions targeting processed critical minerals.

Titan Mining Launches Made-in-America Graphite Production as U.S. Moves to Secure Critical Minerals
New White House action strengthens the case for Made-in-America critical minerals
GOUVERNEUR, 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, 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.
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.
“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 graphite demonstration facility, located within Titan’s existing Empire State Mine infrastructure, is designed to produce approximately 1,200 tonnes per year of graphite concentrate, providing a critical bridge to commercial scale and advancing the Kilbourne Graphite Project toward its targeted 40,000-tonne-per-year production profile.
