Management's Discussion and Analysis

(In thousands of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

OUR BUSINESS

Titan Mining Corporation is a natural resource company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of mineral properties. Our corporate office is in Vancouver, British Columbia, and our shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and trade under the symbol "TI".

The Company's principal asset is a group of 100%-owned,high-grade zinc mines located in the Balmat- Edwards mining district in northern New York State, near Gouverneur and 35 miles south of the Port of Ogdensburg. These past-producing operations (the Empire State Mine's #2, #3, #4, Hyatt, Pierrepont and Edwards mines), collectively the "Empire State Mine" or ("ESM"), were acquired on December 30, 2016, and had been on care and maintenance since 2008. Titan declared commercial production at ESM on January 1, 2020. On August 31, 2020 Titan entered into an option agreement on the Mineral Ridge Property in Nevada, USA. The Mineral Ridge Property is a fully permitted mine and mill operation comprised of approximately 14,000 acres of patented, fee-owned, and unpatented mining claims which include certain water rights. Titan also continues to maintain its unpatented mining claims in New Mexico, USA.

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

Titan's mission is to deliver extraordinary shareholder value through exploration, development and operational excellence.

Titan believes that the district surrounding ESM remains underexplored despite the long operating history of ESM. The Company is focused on discovering and developing additional high-grade,low-cost mineral resources to feed the mill at ESM. ESM's #4 mine is connected to its #2 mine, and there is potential for significant resource expansion which is expected to support production growth. Other historic mines and new targets within the district will be a focus for Titan's exploration team.

Mining and milling activities at ESM continued to ramp-up during the past year with commercial production having been declared on January 1, 2020. Increased productivities and improved operating costs are expected to continue into 2021 and have better positioned the mine for future success. The completion of the revised mine plan, incorporating the higher-grade New Fold zone in the #4 mine and near-mine Hoist House, Turnpike and Pumphouse potential open pits in early 2021 will guide Titan's capital investment decisions for the underground and open pit projects at ESM.

Titan's plan for Mineral Ridge is to continue its exploration to an investment decision on the exercise of the Earn-in Option or Purchase Option (see "Exploration Update- Mineral Ridge" of this MD&A for further information). In addition, the Company continues to examine various financing options to bolster the Company's treasury.
