Welcome to our dedicated page for Graphano Energy news (Ticker: GELEF), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Graphano Energy stock.
Graphano Energy Ltd. (GELEF) generates frequent news updates around its graphite-focused exploration and development activities in Québec, Canada. Company releases highlight work across its Lac Aux Bouleaux (LAB) and Standard properties within the Lac Saguay graphite project, as well as the Black Pearl (Pearl Noir) discovery, all of which are described as part of an energy metals portfolio centered on graphite.
News items often cover exploration milestones, including line cutting, ground electromagnetic surveys, mechanical stripping, channel sampling, and diamond drilling programs. For Black Pearl, Graphano has reported the transition from discovery through prospecting to drill-ready status, followed by initial and subsequent drilling campaigns that encountered near-surface graphite mineralization along multiple conductive trends. Updates also describe airborne magnetic and time-domain electromagnetic surveys designed to refine subsurface targets.
Another key category of news involves technical and resource reporting. Graphano has announced the engagement of Mercator Geological Services Limited to prepare a National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate and later reported an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Lac Saguay graphite project, covering zones at the LAB property and the Standard Mine project. These releases provide detail on mineralized zones, cut-off grades, and the technical parameters used in resource modeling.
Investors following GELEF news will also see updates on regulatory authorizations and policy context, such as the receipt of "Autorisation de Travaux à Impact" for all Québec properties and commentary on Canada’s Major Projects Office and critical minerals initiatives. Capital markets developments, including a forward share split of Graphano’s common shares, are also announced through company news. For ongoing coverage of these exploration results, resource estimates, permitting milestones, and share structure changes, this news feed provides a centralized view of Graphano’s public disclosures.
Graphano Energy (TSXV: GEL) (OTC Pink: GELEF) has received important 'Autorisation de Travaux à Impact' (ATI) approvals from Québec's Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts for all its properties: Lac Aux Bouleaux, Standard Mine, and Pearl Noir.
The ATI authorizations, required under Québec's new exploration permitting regulations introduced in May 2024, allow the company to conduct impact-causing exploration work such as drilling, trenching, bulk sampling, and rock stripping. The approval process included detailed work plan submissions and engagement with local municipalities and Indigenous communities.
The company plans to begin its 2025 exploration campaigns this quarter, focusing on trenching, targeted sampling, and drilling to further delineate graphite mineralization across its holdings.
Graphano Energy (TSXV: GEL) (OTC Pink: GELEF) has announced plans to extend the expiry date of 12,607,317 common share purchase warrants by an additional 12 months to August 27, 2026. This marks the second extension of these warrants, which were originally issued through private placements of subscription receipts in December 2020 and April 2021.
The warrants, initially set to expire on August 27, 2023, were first extended to August 27, 2025. Each warrant allows holders to purchase one common share at $0.52 per share. Company insiders hold 2,433,844 of these warrants. This second extension will reach the maximum five-year term allowed under TSXV policies, with all other terms remaining unchanged. The extension requires TSXV approval.
Northern Graphite and Graphano Energy have announced a strategic collaboration agreement to share technical knowledge and expertise for graphite resource development. The partnership involves Northern's Lac des Iles (LDI) graphite mine - North America's only producing graphite mine - and Graphano's Lac Aux Bouleaux (LAB) and Standard properties, which are contiguous to the LDI mine.
The companies will share geological, geophysical, and metallurgical data to advance graphite exploration in the area, aiming to expand resources that can be processed at the LDI plant. The collaboration includes cooperation on resource modeling, drilling programs, metallurgical testing, and potential future production sharing arrangements. Each company will bear its own exploration costs.
Graphano Energy (TSXV: GEL) (OTCQB: GELEF) has made a significant new graphite discovery called the Black Pearl on its Standard East claim group. The discovery highlights include:
- 42 channel samples averaging 13.2% graphitic carbon (Cg)
- Channel sample results of 15.1% Cg over 14 metres and 17.9% Cg over 9 metres
- Grab samples up to 20.1% Cg from trenches 700 metres along trend
- A 1,000-metre strike length outlined by prospecting and geophysics
The discovery strengthens Graphano's position as a potential leading graphite producer. The company owns 4,265 hectares of mining claims in the strategic area between its Standard Mine project and the Mousseau Project.
Graphano Energy announced the staking of 20 additional mining claims at its Lac-Aux-Bouleaux (LAB) project in Quebec. This expansion more than doubles its holdings, increasing the total area to 2,028 hectares. The LAB region, which contains North America's only graphite-producing area, has shown promising exploration results. The new claims share similar geology with existing LAB claims and the nearby Lac-des-Iles mine, although they remain largely unexplored. Graphano's CEO, Luisa Moreno, expressed optimism about the enhanced exploration potential. The technical aspects of this release were verified by qualified geologists under NI 43-101 standards.
Graphano Energy (TSXV: GEL) (OTCQB: GELEF) has announced positive preliminary metallurgical results for its Lac-Aux Bouleaux (LAB) and Standard Mine graphite properties in Quebec. Conducted by SGS Canada Inc., the tests showed that LAB achieved a concentrate grade of 95% Cg with a 70% recovery rate in open circuit, with expectations of over 90% recovery in closed circuit operations. Standard Mine produced a 94% Cg concentrate at 93% recovery. Further optimization is expected to enhance these results. The company plans to develop a large-scale beneficiation plant to process both LAB and Standard materials efficiently.
Graphano Energy has initiated its spring/summer 2024 exploration program on its 100% owned graphite properties in Quebec. The program began in mid-April and focuses on new claims east of the Standard Mine, covering 3,923 hectares, and several unexplored zones of the Lac Aux Bouleaux property. CEO Luisa Moreno highlighted the significance of this exploration for identifying new drilling targets. The program will involve prospecting, trenching, and stripping areas with visible graphite outcrops, following government reconnaissance findings from 1997.
Graphano Energy reported final assay results from its 2023-24 winter drilling program at the LAB Graphite Property, discovering significant graphite mineralization in Zone 3. The company's focus on graphite zone expansion yielded positive results, with high-grade intersections like 7.91% Cg over 15.65m in drill hole LAB24-65. The drilling program confirmed the continuity of mineralization and the potential for economic extraction, supporting the development of the EV industry in North America.
