Focus Graphite (OTCQB:FCSMF) completed an independent Air Quality Assessment for its 100%-owned Lac Knife graphite project in northeastern Quebec. Modelling by WSP indicates predicted contaminant levels comply with Quebec ambient air quality standards and criteria.
The study supports ongoing environmental and social impact assessment work and future permitting and development activities.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB:FCSMF) secured up to C$1,378,700 in non-repayable, non-dilutive funding from Natural Resources Canada’s First and Last Mile Fund. The contribution covers about 50% of eligible costs to advance road and power infrastructure planning for the Lac Knife graphite project in Quebec.
The work includes engineering, environmental, permitting and community engagement, with strong Indigenous collaboration and a schedule through March 2028.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB:FCSMF) signed a non-binding LOI with PermaTint to evaluate and potentially acquire or license a proprietary natural graphite-based RF shielding coating.
Independent testing showed up to 99.99% RF signal blocking from 5 GHz to 40 GHz, with consistent performance from 100 MHz to 8 GHz. Focus plans validation using graphite from its Lac Knife project, expecting 750–800 kg of concentrates for purification and advanced-application testing.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) reported an updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate for the 100%‑owned Lac Tetepisca Project (effective April 30, 2026): 120,163 kt Indicated at 10.27% Cg and 24,143 kt Inferred at 9.88% Cg at a 3.5% Cg cut‑off.
The MRE used 150 drill holes (26,095 m), a US$1,200/t concentrate price, and is pit‑constrained; a full Technical Report will be filed on SEDAR+ within 45 days.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) appointed General (Retired) Wayne Eyre, former Chief of the Defence Staff (2021–2024), to its Advisory Board on April 16, 2026. Eyre will advise on defence-related graphite applications, engagement with NATO/allied partners, and positioning within North American critical minerals frameworks.
The appointment supports Focus Graphite's Lac Knife and Lac Tetepisca projects and downstream processing efforts to strengthen secure supply chains for defence, energy storage, and advanced materials.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) entered a Joint Product Development Agreement with Forge Nano on April 9, 2026, to evaluate Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) coatings on Lac Knife natural graphite.
The program will process ~2 kilograms of graphite to generate performance data targeting improved cycle life, fast charging, and durability to inform pilot-scale decisions, customer engagement, and funding pathways.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) was initiated by Fundamental Research Corp. on April 2, 2026, in a report titled "The Graphite Arbitrage: High-Grade, Low-Cost Supply for Defense & Critical Industries — Initiating Coverage". The report highlights two Quebec assets — Lac Knife (feasibility completed; one of North America's highest-grade deposits) and Têtêpisca (large, high-grade resource). Both projects have open-pit potential and favorable strip ratios for low-cost production. In December 2025, Focus Graphite secured $14 million in non-repayable government funding to build an ultra-high-purity (>99.95% C) graphite facility targeting defense, aerospace and advanced tech markets. The report notes strong strategic positioning amid U.S. reliance on imported graphite.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) has started a WSP-led dam break analysis for the planned filtered (dry-stack) tailings facility at its Lac Knife graphite project. The study will model extreme breach scenarios, produce flood mapping and downstream impact assessments, and inform the company’s ESIA for 2026 permit-readiness.
The work uses PMP scenarios, site topography, CDA and GISTM frameworks, and will be integrated into the final ESIA to support regulatory review and contingency planning.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) engaged Norda-Stelo to evaluate access road and powerline corridors for the Lac Knife project, targeting a 6–10 km all-season road and a conceptual ~30 km private 35.5 kV powerline. The engineering evaluation is due by end-May 2026 to enable summer 2026 field work.
The company applied for federal and provincial infrastructure funding, is assessing grid connections to Hydro-Quebec Normand or Bloom Lake substations, and disclosed a C$500,000 loan-to-equity conversion by Chairman Jeff York at C$0.36 per share (1,388,889 shares), subject to TSXV approval.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) began a NRCan-funded pilot program after shipping a six-tonne Lac Knife ore sample to SGS Lakefield on March 2, 2026. The program targets ~500 kg of high-purity graphite concentrate and is backed by up to $14.1M in non-repayable NRCan contributions.
SGS will produce concentrate (~95% graphitic carbon) for thermal purification engineering with TMEC; concentrate delivery is expected in approximately 8–9 weeks, with the three-month program focusing on processing, data compilation, and reporting.
