Focus Graphite (OTCQB:FCSMF) reported completion of an eight-tonne pilot processing program using ore from its 100%-owned Lac Knife graphite project in Quebec, producing about 850 kg of graphite concentrate grading between 95.0% and 98.7% carbon by LOI through conventional mechanical processing only, without chemical or thermal purification. The pilot feed averaged 18.9% total carbon, and the results confirm the existing Lac Knife process flowsheet that underpinned the 2023 Feasibility Study Update, which demonstrated 97.8% concentrate grade at 90.7% recovery.
The pilot created qualification-scale concentrate now being allocated to purification, battery anode and industrial/specialty graphite programs, targeting purities up to 99.99% carbon. According to Focus Graphite, this material will support customer testing, product validation and work with U.S. technology partners, and will also feed an NRCan-backed electrothermal purification demonstration system funded by up to $14.1 million in non-repayable contributions.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) outlined how its strategy aligns with the July 20, 2026 White House Executive Order on securing U.S. defense supply chains for critical materials. The Order directs the U.S. Department of War to strengthen transparency, reduce reliance on unreliable foreign suppliers and qualify domestic and allied sources.
Focus highlighted its integrated Canada-U.S. graphite value-chain proposal for the Lac Knife Project, submitted under the DoW Defense Industrial Base Consortium solicitation RPP-CM-26-01, positioning Lac Knife as a foundation for a secure North American graphite supply chain. The company emphasized its premium graphite resources at Lac Knife and Lac Tetepisca, electrothermal purification pathway targeting ultra-high-purity material, and downstream advanced materials programs with U.S. partners C4V and Forge Nano. Focus reported Lac Knife concentrate can be thermally purified to 99.9996 wt.% carbon and noted about C$15.4 million in Canadian non-dilutive funding commitments supporting its platform.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) announced completion of the Lac Knife Access Road Desktop Study by Norda Stelo, overseen by IOS Geosciences, identifying Scenario 2 (CH B + M3) as the preferred access route. The corridor combines about 2.5 km of an existing access road with 7.7 km of Mazarin Road to link the realigned Highway 389 with the future Lac Knife mine site.
According to the company, using existing corridors is expected to reduce new road construction versus the 32 km road contemplated in the 2023 feasibility study, potentially lowering future infrastructure capital needs. The work is funded in part by C$1,378,700 in non-dilutive Natural Resources Canada FLMF funding for road and power planning.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB:FCSMF) filed on SEDAR+ the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the updated mineral resource estimate at its 100%-owned Lac Tetepisca graphite project in Quebec.
The pit-constrained MRE outlines 120.2 Mt Indicated at 10.27% Cg and 24.1 Mt Inferred at 9.88% Cg, totaling about 14.7 Mt of in-situ graphite at a 3.5% Cg cut-off and US$1,200/t concentrate price assumptions. The resource, completed by independent qualified persons using 150 drill holes over 26,095 m, is described as one of the largest identified graphite deposits globally and remains open for expansion. Focus plans metallurgical optimization, flowsheet development, and engineering studies to advance toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment.
Focus Graphite (OTCQB:FCSMF) completed the hydrogeological assessment for its Lac Knife graphite project, concluding a multi-year environmental program and major technical work for its ESIA.
The Study supports a redesigned dry-stack tailings facility, informs long-term groundwater modelling, and enables preparation of the updated ESIA submission to Quebec’s MELCCFP.
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.
