Focus Graphite has released new results from their 2022 exploration and definition drill program at the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor (MOGC) flake graphite deposit. The results show significant graphitic mineralization, excellent continuity at depth, and potential for deposit expansion. Key highlights include an 82.91-metre intersection grading 13.81% Cg and a 112.28-metre intersection grading 8.93% Cg. Drilling was conducted across various sections, with some holes reaching vertical depths of up to 384 metres.
The Lac Tétépisca graphite project, wholly owned by Focus Graphite, now boasts a pit-constrained Indicated Resource of 59.3 million tonnes grading 10.61% Cg and an Inferred Resource of 14.9 million tonnes grading 11.06% Cg. The results from this program are pivotal in updating the mineral resource estimate and indicating the potential for resource growth.
Exploration drilling at the Southwest MOGC target intersected thinner graphitic zones, with one hole returning 9.11 metres grading 6.08% Cg. Detailed structural 3-D modeling is ongoing to connect these findings with the main MOGC deposit. Further results from West Limb target drilling are pending.
Focus Graphite is set to benefit from recent U.S. tariffs on Chinese graphite, starting in 2026, and the Clean Vehicle Credit under the American Inflation Reduction Act. The Lac Knife project, currently at the feasibility stage, aims to become a key North American source of high-purity flake graphite for electric vehicle batteries. With North America needing to secure stable graphite supplies outside of China, Focus Graphite's Quebec-based projects are strategically positioned. The company will also benefit from a program by Quebec's Société du Plan Nord, providing support for funding and partnerships.
