Titan Mining's subsidiary Empire State Mines has been conditionally selected by the U.S. Army to develop the first-ever commercial graphite purification facility on U.S. military bases at Pine Bluff Arsenal, Arkansas, and Anniston Army Depot, Alabama. This initiative, under the Army's Enhanced Use Lease program and President Trump's 2025 Executive Order, aims to reduce America's 100% import reliance on foreign graphite, particularly challenging China's dominance in battery-grade graphite processing. The Kilbourne Graphite Purification Plant will produce purified graphite for defense and energy uses, with all costs borne by Titan, while the Army retains land ownership. Construction is targeted to start in the second half of 2027, marking a major step toward domestic critical mineral supply chain independence and national security enhancement.
