First Canadian Graphite

 

 

 

 

FC Graphite Inc. (TSX.V: FCI) (OTCQB: GRAPF) is a Canadian critical-minerals exploration company focused on advancing its flagship Lac Guéret South Project in Québec. The Company’s vision is to become a leading force in North America’s energy transition through the responsible development and future production of high-quality graphite.

 

Corporate Presentation

 

Lac Guéret South Project

 

FC graphite’s Lac Guéret South Project is located in Northern Québec, within the Tétépisca region—one of Canada’s most prospective graphite districts. The Company holds a district-scale land package of approximately 16,704 hectares, or 167.04 square kilometres, and is among the largest claim holders in the region. The property borders Nouveau Monde Graphite’s Uatnan project.

 

Less than 10% of the Company’s land package has been drilled. FC graphite reports that more than $10 million has been invested in the project to date, helping outline a graphite resource with substantial expansion potential.

 

The project’s Zone 1 hosts a verified, high-grade NI 43-101 mineral resource comprising:

  • 1.76 million tonnes of Indicated material grading 17% Cg.
  • 1.53 million tonnes of Inferred material grading 16.4% Cg.

 

The deposit contains predominantly large- and jumbo-sized graphite flakes. According to FC graphite, these flake characteristics provide superior crystallinity and conductivity and may support higher-value applications in advanced technologies.

 

FC graphite is advancing the project toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment while pursuing resource growth and development. The Company states that its exploration programs are funded through 2026 and include completed helicopter-borne geophysical surveys, summer field exploration, environmental baseline studies and a planned fall diamond-drilling campaign.

 

Development Strategy

 

FC graphite’s strategy is to responsibly develop and supply high-quality graphite needed for a cleaner and more resilient future. The Company is focused on expanding its Lac Guéret South resource and advancing the project toward potential development, while seeking to create lasting economic, social and environmental benefits for communities, partners and stakeholders.

 

The Company’s sustainability approach includes:

  • Reducing its environmental footprint through responsible exploration and site-management practices.
  • Protecting water resources, biodiversity and ecosystems through planning and mitigation.
  • Engaging early and transparently with local communities and Indigenous Peoples.
  • Respecting Indigenous rights, culture, land use and traditional knowledge.
  • Maintaining standards of corporate governance, ethics and transparency.
  • Integrating health and safety into its operational activities.
