The stock options expire in five years and become fully vested on the earlier of: (1) execution of a commercial agreement with an oilsands producer to build a first plant; (2) if the common shares of the Company trade above $1.25 for each trading day of a 90 day period; and (3) the acquisition of 50% or more of the Company’s common shares by a third party or parties acting in concert, subject to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

About Titanium Corporation
Titanium is a clean technology innovator focused on providing solutions to the mining sector of Canada’s oil sands industry. Titanium Corporation’s CVW™ technology provides sustainable solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of the oilsands industry. Our technology reduces the environmental impact of oil sands froth treatment tailings, while economically recovering valuable products that would otherwise be lost. CVW™ recovers bitumen, solvents, heavy minerals and water from tailings, preventing these commodities from entering tailings ponds and the atmosphere: volatile organic compound and greenhouse gas emissions are materially reduced; hot tailings water is improved in quality for recycling; and residual tailings can be thickened more readily. A new minerals industry would be created with the production and export of zircon and titanium, essential ingredients in the ceramics and pigment industries.
