M2i Global Inc (OTC:MTWO), along with Volato Group which is in the process of merging with the company, announced a strategic collaboration with Titanium X aimed at advancing the development of critical mineral assets and strengthening domestic supply chains in the United States.
Under the agreement, M2i Global and Titanium X will work together on the financing, development and commercialization of Titanium X’s critical mineral projects, drawing on M2i’s experience in mineral project execution and government-related financing strategies. The parties are also in discussions to finalize an exclusive supply agreement for titanium concentrate.
Titanium X is pursuing the acquisition of titanium mineral supply through offtake agreements or project acquisitions and is developing extraction technologies designed to upgrade ore into beneficiated concentrate.
The company plans to beneficiate material in Australia before shipping concentrate to an M2i facility for further refining, with technologies being developed in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley.
The initial focus is on upgrading ilmenite from mineral sand deposits, particularly in Western Australia, which hosts existing producers and undeveloped JORC-compliant resources.
“We are proud to join forces with Titanium X to strengthen the US supply chain for critical minerals,” M2i Global CEO Major General (Ret) Alberto Rosende said in a statement. “This collaboration combines Titanium X’s world-class asset base with M2i’s execution capabilities and government financing strategies.”
Justin Warburton, Titanium X executive director, described the partnership with M2i Global as a game-changer for the company.
“Their track record and network—especially in accessing funding and offtake partnerships—will fast-track our mission to become a premier domestic supplier of titanium and other critical minerals,” Warburton said. “We’re excited to move forward together at this pivotal moment in US industrial policy.”
The companies added that the collaboration aligns with broader goals around responsible resource development, sustainability and building secure North American mineral supply chains.
