Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Titan Mining Corporation is a Canadian-based mining company focused on the production and development of base metals, primarily zinc, in the United States. The company operates in the mining and metals industry, with its core activity centered on the extraction, processing, and sale of zinc concentrate, which represents the dominant revenue driver. Titan Mining’s operations are oriented toward supplying zinc to global smelters, serving industrial end markets such as galvanizing, infrastructure, and manufacturing.
The company’s principal asset is the Empire State Mine, which provides Titan Mining with a strategic position as one of the few primary zinc producers in the United States. This positioning offers logistical and geopolitical advantages relative to offshore supply, particularly for North American customers. Titan Mining was incorporated in 2010 and became publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol TI. In 2016, the company acquired and subsequently restarted the historically significant Empire State Mine in New York State, transforming from an exploration-stage company into a producing miner.
Business Operations
Titan Mining generates revenue through the mining, processing, and sale of zinc concentrate from its Zinc Operations segment, which encompasses all active production activities at the Empire State Mine. The company’s operations include underground mining, on-site processing, and concentrate logistics, with sales primarily executed under offtake arrangements with established smelting counterparties. Operations are conducted through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Empire State Mines, LLC.
The company’s asset base includes mineral leases, mining infrastructure, processing facilities, and extensive exploration land holdings surrounding the current mine footprint. While Titan Mining’s current production is concentrated in the United States, the company maintains technical and corporate functions in Canada. No material joint ventures have been disclosed in public filings, and operations are vertically integrated at the site level.
Strategic Position & Investments
Titan Mining’s strategic focus is on extending mine life and increasing production efficiency at the Empire State Mine through ongoing exploration, resource conversion, and operational optimization. Growth initiatives have emphasized near-mine exploration drilling, cost control, and incremental infrastructure investments aimed at improving throughput and recovery rates. The company has disclosed continued capital allocation toward exploration of additional zinc mineralization within its large land package.
The Empire State Mine remains Titan Mining’s primary investment and sole producing asset, and no major acquisitions beyond this asset have been completed since its restart. The company has indicated interest in disciplined growth within the base metals sector, particularly zinc, but public disclosures do not confirm diversification into other commodities or emerging technologies. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding any near-term acquisition pipeline beyond organic growth.
Geographic Footprint
Titan Mining’s operational footprint is concentrated in North America, with all mining activities located in New York State, United States. The company’s corporate headquarters and public company functions are based in Canada, reflecting its TSX listing and Canadian corporate structure. This cross-border structure allows Titan Mining to access Canadian capital markets while operating in a stable U.S. mining jurisdiction.
The company does not report active mining operations outside the United States, though its customer base and concentrate sales are linked to global metals markets. International exposure is therefore indirect, through commodity pricing and end-market demand rather than through physical operations or overseas investments.
Leadership & Governance
Titan Mining is led by a management team with experience in mining operations, finance, and mine development, with a stated focus on operational discipline, safety, and long-term value creation through resource development. Governance practices align with Canadian public company standards, including oversight by a board of directors with mining and capital markets expertise.
Key executives include:
- Don Taylor – President & Chief Executive Officer
- Andy McKinnon – Chief Financial Officer
- Chris Taylor – Chief Operating Officer
The leadership team emphasizes a strategy centered on optimizing the Empire State Mine, extending its productive life, and maintaining financial discipline while pursuing measured growth opportunities consistent with shareholder returns.
