Titan Mining Kilbourne Graphite Exceeds PEA Targets, 66% Yield
AI Summary
Titan Mining Corporation announced positive results for its Kilbourne Graphite Project, validating its full graphite processing chain from ore concentration to battery-grade spherical graphite. The concentrator flowsheet exceeded Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) design assumptions, producing 95.9% C(t) graphite concentrate at 91.4% recovery. Furthermore, the downstream pilot stage demonstrated battery-grade purity (≥99.90% Fixed Carbon) and an industry-leading spherical graphite yield of approximately 66%, significantly de-risking the ongoing Feasibility Study and supporting Titan's plan for an integrated U.S. graphite supply chain.
Key Highlights
- Kilbourne Graphite Project achieved 95.9% C(t) concentrate at 91.4% recovery.
- Results exceeded PEA design basis of 95% concentrate grade and 90% recovery.
- Purification process consistently produced ≥99.90% Fixed Carbon battery-grade graphite.
- Spherical graphite yield reached approximately 66%, surpassing the industry average of 50%.
- Thermal pretreatment achieved 99.99% Fixed Carbon for spherical purified graphite.
- Engineering for both the concentrator and Secondary Transformation Plant is advancing.
