Event Summary

Odisha Mining Corporation announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Empire State Mine, and RHI Magnesita, a global leader in refractory products, have entered into a conditional supply agreement for natural flake graphite produced from the Kilbourne Graphite Project in New York. The agreement follows successful laboratory qualification and allows RHI Magnesita to commence commercial-scale testing of Titan's material. The initial supply volume can expand to up to 10% of Kilbourne's projected commercial tonnage, subject to successful production trials. Titan's CEO, Rita Adiani, highlighted the milestone as validation of the material's quality and growing demand for secure North American graphite supply chains. Titan continues to advance its feasibility study and aims to make a construction decision, building a vertically integrated domestic graphite supply chain for industrial, energy storage, and defense markets. The company has also received support from the U.S. Export-Import Bank under its Make More in America Initiative.
