GRAPHANO RECEIVES EXPLORATION WORK AUTHORISATIONS FOR ALL QUEBEC PROPERTIES

Graphano Energy Ltd. has received "Autorisation de Travaux a Impact," the authorization of impact-causing exploration work from the Ministere des Ressources naturelles et des Forets for all its Quebec-based properties: Lac Aux Bouleaux, Standard mine and Pearl Noir (Black Pearl).

"We are pleased to have secured all necessary ATI approvals for our Quebec properties," said Dr. Luisa Moreno, chief executive officer of Graphano. "This milestone reflects our commitment to responsible exploration and adherence to Quebec's regulatory framework. With these authorizations in hand, we are well positioned to advance our exploration initiatives and unlock the potential of our high-quality graphite assets."

These ATI approvals encompass all designated exploration zones and newly identified discovery targets across the three properties, enabling the company to proceed with its 2025 field programs.

Government authorizations for exploration

In May, 2024, Quebec introduced new exploration permitting requirements to enhance transparency and incorporate community feedback into mineral exploration activities. Under these regulations, mining companies must obtain ATI from the MRNF before conducting certain exploration activities that may impact the land, such as drilling, trenching, bulk sampling and rock stripping. The ATI process involves: (i) submitting detailed work plans; and (ii) engaging with local municipalities and indigenous communities to gather and address their questions and comments. This collaborative approach aims to balance resource development with environmental stewardship and community interests.

2025 exploration program

Graphano is preparing to commence its exploration campaigns this quarter, focusing on trenching, targeted sampling and drilling to further delineate graphite mineralization across its holdings. The company remains dedicated to conducting its operations responsibly, with continuing engagement with local communities and stakeholders.
