The LOI represents an important milestone in Titan’s commercialization strategy and supports the Company’s ongoing customer qualification program as it advances development of a secure domestic U.S. natural graphite supply chain.

“This is exactly the kind of validation we’ve been working toward,” said Rita Adiani, President and Chief Executive Officer of Titan. “Landing early interest from a qualified U.S. manufacturer at the heart of the aerospace and defense supply chain is a powerful signal that our New York graphite measures up to the most demanding specifications in the market. As Washington and industry double down on rebuilding domestic critical mineral supply chains, Titan is positioning itself to be a key American solution.“
