About First Canadian Graphite Inc.

First Canadian Graphite is a strategic critical minerals exploration company focused on expanding and developing the company's high-grade graphite resource, a mineral essential for energy transition and advanced technology development.

The company's flagship Berkwood graphite project is ideally positioned in a world-class district near the western shore of Lac Tetepisca, Que., Canada. Graphite mineralization has been exposed and sampled at surface across multiple locations where exploratory diamond drilling has defined a National Instrument 43-101-compliant resource at Zone 1 of 1.76 million tonnes indicated at 17 per cent Cg plus an additional 1.53 million tonnes inferred at 16.4 per cent Cg. In addition to the resource at Zone 1, the property has multiple other anomalies with outcropping graphite sampled on them that host excellent exploration upside potential.

Additionally, in early 2026, the company greatly expanded its land position now controlling 167 square kilometres, one of the largest claim holdings in the Tetepisca graphite district. With substantial exploration upside remaining and over $10-million invested to date, First Canadian Graphite is advancing resource expansion efforts and progressing toward a preliminary economic assessment (PEA). The company is well financed to advance this project further in 2026,

The company has filed a National Instrument 43-101 technical report, which includes a comprehensive mineral resource estimate for the Lac Gueret South graphite property. This report was prepared by Tekhne Research Inc. The independent and qualified persons for the mineral resource estimate, as defined by NI 43-101, are Edward Lyons, PGeo (Tekhne Resources Inc.), Florent Baril, ing (Bumigeme Inc.), and Claude Duplessis, ing (Goldminds Geoservices Inc.). Refer to the company's website for the complete NI 43-101 technical report with respect to references made herein, and e-mail updates and news.
