EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - March 10, 2011) - Titanium Corporation Inc. (the "Company") (News - Market indicators) and Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) announced today the completion of the second phase of Titanium's oil sands tailings demonstration pilot project and the advance of a third payment of $825,000. The payment has been advanced following completion of a major operational phase of the pilot. The Company has now received a total of $4.4 million from SDTC under the previously announced Contribution Agreement.

Scott Nelson, Titanium's President and CEO, said, "This latest milestone under the SDTC demonstration pilot program represents considerable progress of our oil sands tailings technology. Recoveries of bitumen, solvents, minerals cleaning and tailings remediation are all performing to our highest expectations. The support and funding by SDTC has been invaluable in developing and demonstrating our technology and has helped position us for commercializing our technology in 2011."

"Our Government is committed to supporting clean energy technology in Canada as an effective measure to protect the environment and create high-quality jobs for Canadians," said James Rajotte, Member of Parliament for Edmonton—Leduc. "This technology reduces the environmental impact of oil sands tailings and is an excellent example of the kind of clean energy technology our Government encourages."

"The development of clean technologies that will help the oil sands industry reduce its environmental footprint while maintaining its economic performance is key to ensuring a sustainable future for Canada," Vicky Sharpe, SDTC President and CEO. "SDTC would like to congratulate Titanium on reaching one more significant milestone and is looking forward to continuing to work with them to move this promising technology towards commercialization."

In June 2009, the Government of Canada through SDTC committed up to $5M to support the project led by Titanium. This commitment is based on the successful completion of milestones as determined in the funding agreement between Titanium and SDTC.

Titanium's "Creating Value from Waste" technology has been designed to recover valuable products from waste tailings and reduce environmental impacts in the oil sands industry. The demonstration pilot is being operated at the Natural Resources Canada CanmetENERGY Devon Research Centre near Edmonton. Five oil sands firms are cooperating with the program which is also supported by leading engineering and technical firms including SNC-Lavalin and Maxxam Analytics. Following completion of the pilot program in 2011, Titanium Corporation plans to commercialize and implement this new technology throughout the oil sands industry.
