The latest announcement is out from Titan Mining Corporation ( (TSE:TI) ).

On January 26, 2026, Titan Mining Corporation announced it has begun producing natural flake graphite concentrate at its Kilbourne demonstration facility, located within the Empire State Mine infrastructure in Gouverneur, New York. The start-up marks a significant step in re-establishing a domestic natural graphite supply chain in the United States for the first time in more than seven decades, with initial capacity of about 1,200 tonnes per year intended to support customer and government qualification programs and to bridge toward a planned 40,000-tonne-per-year commercial operation that could supply a substantial portion of current U.S. demand. The move coincides with a new White House Executive Order invoking Section 232 authorities over processed critical minerals, including natural graphite, underscoring federal efforts to reduce import dependence and reinforce downstream supply chains, and positioning Titan as an early beneficiary of this policy shift. Titan is also progressing financing discussions with the U.S. Export-Import Bank for a proposed US$120 million, long-term, non-dilutive loan facility to fund most of the Kilbourne project’s development and is engaging other federal agencies on complementary funding, developments that could materially influence its capital structure and accelerate its role in strengthening U.S. industrial and energy resilience.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:TI) stock is a Hold with a C$7.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Titan Mining Corporation stock, see the TSE:TI Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:TI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:TI is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by strong growth and profitability trends, offset by significant leverage and weaker free-cash-flow conversion. Technicals are supportive due to a strong uptrend, but overbought signals add near-term risk. Valuation is a headwind with a higher P/E and no dividend yield provided.
