Update on Pilot Plant Scale-Up

Argex would also like to provide shareholders with an update on the progress on the commissioning of its larger pilot-plant in Mississauga, Ontario. As previously stated, the Company is scaling up this facility to produce 10kg of titanium dioxide per day.

All of the equipment necessary for this scale up has arrived in Mississauga and is installed, and commissioning of the pilot plant is in its final stages. This scale-up will allow Argex to work more closely with end users of TiO₂, with the objective of reducing costs and providing a product that meets their specifications.

Argex will provide further updates to shareholders once the pilot plant is commissioned and fully operational.

About Argex Titanium Inc.

ARGEX Titanium INC. is a near-term producer of Titanium Dioxide. With a primary goal of advancing rapidly towards production, Argex has adopted a simple and low-risk strategy for the scale-up of its proprietary process that allows it to produce high-purity pigment-grade TiO₂ directly from run-of-mine material.

The process is running continuously at the mini-plant in Mississauga, Ontario. The closed-loop process is environmentally friendly and produces minimal inert tailings.

Additionally, the Corporation owns 100% of the Mouchalagane property, which is a large Labrador trough iron ore property that represents further potential upside for the Argex shareholders.
