Titan Mining Corporation (TSX:TI) (“
Titan” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to provide an update on near
mine drilling recently completed at its 100%-owned Empire State
Mine (“ESM”) in New York State revealing significant mineralized
extensions of the #2 Ore Body, which has accounted for
approximately half of the tons mined historically at ESM. Results
include assays from drilling completed in West Ridge, the historic
#2 Pit Area, Turnpike and Pump House. Each of these targets
represents near surface extensions of the #2 Ore Body.

2022 ESM Open Pit - Surface Drilling
In Q1 2022 a 27 hole drill program was completed
in and around the #2 Ore Body. This drilling has successfully
extended mineralization to the SW of the Hoist House Zone and
identified a new zone of mineralization labeled West Ridge (see
Figures 1 and 2). Eight holes have been completed within the
historic #2 pit, targeting the remnant crown pillar, returning
positive results and extending the previously drilled zinc
mineralization in this area. Additionally, two holes have been
drilled targeting the down dip extension of mineralization at the
planned Turnpike open pit.
ESM General Manager Joel Rheault commented, “The
most recent drill results provide encouragement that the areas
targeted for open pit mining are going to be larger and higher
grade than originally anticipated, which will extend the project
life. Additionally, the down dip extensions of this mineralization
may provide targeted areas for underground extraction. Overall, the
project will lead to additional employment at ESM and incrementally
increase the number of payable zinc pounds produced.”

* Based on historic models and neighboring drillholes, the
technical team believes SX22-2605 may have tested the remnants of a
historic pillar.
Note: The true width of the mineralization is not currently
known.
The #2 pit is located 1 mile south of the ESM #
4 mine and milling complex. Drilling has tested remnant crown
pillar mineralization to the southwest of the previously identified
Hoist House Zone (Figures 1-2) and the remnant mineralization
beneath the #2 Pit. Mineralization has been intercepted within the
gaps of the historic #2 surface and underground workings.

Qualified Person
The scientific and technical information
contained in this news release and the sampling, analytical and
test data underlying the scientific and technical information has
been reviewed, verified and approved by Donald R. Taylor, MSc., PG,
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, a qualified
person for the purposes of NI 43-101. Mr. Taylor has more than 25
years of mineral exploration and mining experience and is a
Registered Professional Geologist through the SME (registered
member #4029597). The data was verified using data validation and
quality assurance procedures under high industry standards.
Assays and Quality Assurance/Quality
Control
To ensure reliable sample results, the Company
has a rigorous QA/QC program in place that monitors the
chain-of-custody of samples and includes the insertion of blanks
and certified reference standards at statistically derived
intervals within each batch of samples. Core is photographed and
split in half with one-half retained in a secured facility for
verification purposes.
Sample preparation (crushing and pulverizing)
has been performed at ALS Geochemistry (“ALS”), an independent
ISO/IEC accredited lab located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. ALS
prepares a pulp of all samples and sends the pulps to their
analytical laboratory in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, for analysis. ALS
analyzes the pulp sample by an aqua regia digestion (ME-ICP41 for
35 elements) with an ICP – AES finish including Cu (copper), Pb
(lead), and Zn (zinc). All samples in which Cu (copper), Pb (lead),
or Zn (zinc) are greater than 10,000 ppm are re-run using aqua
regia digestion (Cu-OG46; Pb-OG46; and Zn-OG46) with the elements
reported in percentage (%). Silver values are determined by an aqua
regia digestion with an ICP-AES finish (ME-ICP41) with all samples
with silver values greater than 100 ppm repeated using an aqua
regia digestion overlimit method (Ag-OG46) calibrated for higher
levels of silver contained. Gold values are determined by a 30 g
fire assay with an ICP-AES finish (Au-ICP21).
The Company has not identified any drilling,
sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect
the accuracy or reliability of the data set out in this news
release.

Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements and information contained in
this new release constitute "forward-looking statements", and
"forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable
securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). These
statements appear in a number of places in this news release and
include statements regarding our intent, or the beliefs or current
expectations of our officers and directors, including that the most
recent drill results provide encouragement that the areas targeted
for open pit mining are going to be larger and higher grade that
than originally determined anticipated, which will extend the
project life; that the down dip extensions of this mineralization
may provide targeted areas for underground extraction; that the
project will lead to additional employment at ESM and incrementally
increase the number of payable zinc pounds produced; and that the
results of particular holes are being added to open pit planning.
When used in this news release words such as “to be”, "will",
"planned", "expected", "potential", and similar expressions are
intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements and/or information are reasonable, undue
reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements since
the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove
to be correct. These statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or
events to vary materially from those anticipated in such
forward-looking statements, including the risks, uncertainties and
other factors identified in the Company's periodic filings with
Canadian securities regulators. Such forward-looking statements are
based on various assumptions, including assumptions made with
regard to the ability to advance exploration efforts at ESM; the
results of such exploration efforts; the ability to secure adequate
financing (as needed); the Company maintaining its current strategy
and objectives; and the Company’s ability to achieve its growth
objectives. While the Company considers these assumptions to be
reasonable, based on information currently available, they may
prove to be incorrect. Except as required by applicable law, we
assume no obligation to update or to publicly announce the results
of any change to any forward-looking statement contained herein to
reflect actual results, future events or developments, changes in
assumptions or changes in other factors affecting the
forward-looking statements. If we update any one or more
forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we
will make additional updates with respect to those or other
forward-looking statements. You should not place undue importance
on forward-looking statements and should not rely upon these
statements as of any other date. All forward-looking statements
contained in this news release are expressly qualified in their
entirety by this cautionary statement.
