Graphite One Comments on Critical Mineral Executive Order Issued by President Donald Trump
Graphite One (GPHOF) welcomes President Trump's new Executive Order on critical minerals, issued March 20, 2025, aimed at accelerating domestic mineral production. The order expands authorities of the Defense Production Act and EXIM Bank, both currently supporting Graphite One's projects.
The company has received a DPA grant for its feasibility study (expected April 2025) and a $325 million non-binding Letter of Interest from EXIM Bank for its Ohio-based anode manufacturing plant. The EO requires actions from Defense, Energy, and Interior Secretaries within 10-45 days.
Graphite One is developing a U.S.-based graphite supply chain anchored by the Graphite Creek deposit, recognized by USGS as the largest in North America. The project includes an advanced material manufacturing plant in Warren, Ohio, and a planned recycling facility. According to Alaska's Governor, construction could begin by 2027 with production potentially starting in 2029.
