Titan Mining Nears First U.S. Graphite Production Since 1955

Titan Mining is set to become the United States' first fully integrated graphite producer in over 70 years, with production from its Kilbourne project in New York expected in the fourth quarter of 2025 and sales qualification targeted for early 2026. The project is more than halfway through equipment installation, with over 90% of machinery sourced in North America, supporting domestic manufacturing and aiming to provide a tariff-free, secure U.S. supply amid rising global trade restrictions. Kilbourne's graphite resource has significant expansion potential and could meet a majority of projected U.S. graphite demand, particularly driven by the electric vehicle market's growth. The facility benefits from existing infrastructure, including on-site power and a skilled workforce, accelerating readiness and scalability. Titan Mining’s stock has surged with investor optimism reflecting the strategic importance of reducing import reliance and strengthening national security around critical minerals. This development marks a crucial step toward U.S. industrial independence in graphite supply, a key material for batteries and high-tech manufacturing.
