About Titanium Corporation
Publicly listed Canadian company: TSXV symbol “TIC”
Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and working with
the mining oil sands industry
Developed a suite of proprietary technologies - Creating
Value from Waste™ CVW™ technology designed to recover
heavy minerals, bitumen and solvent from oil sands tailings
Fills a gap in tailings management and delivers
environmental benefits including reducing methane/GHGs
and VOCs and producing cleaner tailings for deposition
Creating a new minerals industry for Alberta and Canada
with exports to meet global demand
Titanium holds 21 patents for the CVW™ suite of
technologies

Industry is committed to improving environmental
performance and tailings management
Over 12 million barrels of bitumen and solvent are lost each year in the
mining sectors froth treatment tailings and discharged to ponds (33,000 bpd)
These hydrocarbons create methane/GHG and VOC emissions
Over 500,000 tonnes per year of valuable heavy minerals, primarily zircon,
are lost in tailings ponds industry-wide
Remediation of tailings is an industry and government priority

CVW™ Technology
Value Proposition
Recovers valuable commodities
Bitumen, solvent, heavy minerals, rare earths
Reduces and avoids emissions from
ponds and tailings
Methane/GHGs and VOCs
Fills a gap in tailings management
Reduces tailings in ponds, progressive
remediation, final deposition, improves water
quality for recycling
Creates value for stakeholders
Attractive economics, new minerals industry,
new jobs, opportunities for indigenous
communities, increased government
revenues, economic diversification and
exports
Demonstration piloting CVW™ technology
7
Status of the first commercial project
Titanium and Canadian Natural Resources Limited worked
together to develop a design for the first commercial scale
plant for CVW™ technology
In 2019, we completed the front end engineering design
(FEED) phase for implementation at Horizon
Work is underway on key commercialization steps including
minerals analysis and marketing, economic modelling and
business structuring
The technology has been developed with broad stakeholder
support and collaboration including the Governments of
Alberta and Canada, Canadian Natural and other oil sands
operators, COSIA, ERA, SDTC, Alberta Energy, NRC, IRAP and
others
