Focus Graphite Stock Price, News & Analysis

Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) has achieved a significant milestone with the successful launch of Pluto Aerospace's Dash 1 Flight 003 solid-fuel rocket, featuring nozzle components made from Focus' Lac Knife graphite. The launch took place on August 23, 2025, in the Mojave Desert test range, reaching an altitude of over 45,000 feet.

The test demonstrated the performance of Lac Knife graphite in extreme conditions, with nozzle temperatures exceeding 3,000°C. The project was completed in collaboration with American Energy Technologies Company, Pluto Aerospace, and ACP Technologies, using entirely North American-sourced materials.

This marks Focus Graphite's first real-world aerospace and defense application test, with plans for future launches including trials of graphene-based coatings for icephobic and radar-suppression applications on rocket fins, also applicable to UAV drone technology.

Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) reported positive progress on its patent application for advanced lithium-ion battery anode materials containing silicon. The company's Canadian patent application (No. 3,209,696) received confirmation of novelty and inventiveness through the International Preliminary Report on Patentability (IPRP).

The company has engaged MBM Intellectual Property Law to address minor clarification requests from the examiner, primarily concerning formality issues. Focus Graphite also submitted amended claims under the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) for the Canadian case, reducing the number of claims to avoid excess fees.

Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) has announced significant board changes with the appointment of Susan Rohac, ICD.D as its newest director, replacing Robin Dow. Rohac brings extensive experience from her 34-year career at BDC, where she managed over $1 billion in climate tech assets and oversaw two major funds worth $600 million and $500 million.

The company will participate in the Canadian Critical Minerals Investment Forum in Tokyo and Korea (August 26-30, 2025), being one of only two Canadian graphite companies selected. Additionally, Focus Graphite recently conducted a site visit to its Lac Knife project near Fermont, Québec, with KOMIR representatives and local officials. The company has granted Rohac 250,000 stock options at $0.35 per share, expiring August 17, 2030.

Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) has announced significant progress in its Quebec graphite projects. The company has re-engaged IOS Geosciences Inc. to complete 16 technical reports for the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) at its Lac Knife project, with submissions planned for early 2026.

In parallel, Focus has authorized geochemical analysis of over 1,000 drill core samples from its 2022 exploration program at Lac Tetepisca. The analysis will support an updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate expected in Fall 2025. The drilling program covered 14,900.5 metres across 74 holes.

Additionally, the company granted 4,215,000 stock options at $0.14 per share, expiring August 13, 2030, and 1,350,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) to directors, officers, and consultants.

Focus Graphite (OTCQB: FCSMF) has achieved a significant milestone by shipping two battery-grade graphite samples to potential offtake partners for evaluation. The company, in collaboration with American Energy Technologies Company (AETC), has produced two high-purity materials from its Lac Knife deposit:

1. A Spherical Coated Natural Graphite (CSPG) with D50 ~23.9 µm and >99.95% purity for battery anodes.

2. A Non-Spherical Graphite Fines additive with D50 ~3.4 µm for LFP battery cathodes, specifically designed for energy storage systems supporting renewable power.

The materials are part of Focus Graphite's strategy to become a strategic supplier in the North American lithium-ion battery market, particularly targeting the growing energy storage sector.

Focus Graphite (OTCQB:FCSMF) has achieved a significant breakthrough in graphite purification, reaching 99.999% purity using thermal processing without expensive acids. The company's deposit boasts an impressive 15% grade, substantially outperforming industry peers who typically achieve 5-7% grades.

This development positions Focus Graphite as a premium supplier for critical applications in nuclear energy, military, electric vehicles, and aerospace sectors. The announcement gains additional significance following President Trump's recent Executive Order to reform the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, aimed at reducing foreign technology dependence and supporting domestic nuclear industry.

Focus Graphite (FCSMF) has achieved a significant milestone by successfully refining its Lac Knife flake graphite concentrate to 99.999% (5N) purity through thermal purification testing at AETC's facility. The purification was achieved at 2,800°C under inert gas conditions without using halogen gases. This breakthrough positions Focus Graphite to potentially enter the nuclear-grade graphite market, currently dominated by synthetic graphite producers. The 5N-grade natural graphite can command premium prices of US$30,000-35,000 per tonne. The company's Lac Knife Project, one of North America's most advanced high-purity natural graphite deposits, is nearing completion of mine permitting. The development aligns with growing nuclear energy investments, including Ontario's Small Modular Reactor project and U.S. nuclear energy expansion initiatives.

CEO.CA, a leading investor social network for venture stocks and subsidiary of EarthLabs Inc., featured Focus Graphite (FCSMF) in their 'Inside the Boardroom' series. The interview with CEO Dean Hanisch highlights the company's progress as they approach production after 16 years of mine development. Focus Graphite is positioning itself to become one of North America's natural graphite producers, with plans to supply graphite for space applications. The interview aims to provide insights into the company's market timing and competitive advantages in graphite quality compared to peers.

Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc. (TSXV:FMS)(OTCQB:FCSMF)(FSE:FKC) has announced the grant of incentive stock options to its officers and consultants. The company has granted options to purchase up to 963,084 Common Shares at an exercise price of $0.09 per share.
