A production decision will follow the completion of a feasibility study.

Graphite One Inc. (OTCQX:GPHOF) announces progress in testing a biodegradable fire suppressant foam using materials sourced from its Graphite Creek deposit, now assessed by the U.S. Navy. The foam aims to replace hazardous Aqueous Film Forming Foams (AFFF) set to be phased out by 2024. The global fire suppression market is projected to reach $18.3 billion by 2026. With 100% dependency on graphite imports, the company’s strategic development includes establishing a U.S.-based supply chain for advanced graphite materials and a battery anode manufacturing plant.

Graphite One Inc. (TSXV:GPH)(OTCQX:GPHOF) reported a successful 2021, raising over CA$30 million in capital. The Company conducted a drill program covering 2,052 meters, supporting the potential of its Graphite Creek deposit for a long mine life. Anticipating increased demand for graphite in EV and energy storage sectors, Graphite One is on track to complete its Pre-Feasibility Study in Q1 2022. The company is also advancing research on materials for batteries, fire suppression, and synthetic diamonds, while addressing supply chain concerns raised by industry leaders.

Graphite One Inc. has concluded its 2021 field program at the Graphite Creek Project in Alaska, drilling 2,052 meters. The program included core and sonic drilling for resource assessment and geotechnical data collection. Results from the drilling, which revealed visible graphitic mineralization, are expected to be published in Q1 2022. With recent funding of CDN $21 million, the company aims to advance its Preliminary Feasibility Study and begin its Feasibility Study post-PFS. The Graphite Creek deposit is significant for its potential role in the U.S. graphite supply chain.

Graphite One Inc. (TSXV:GPH) (OTCQX:GPHOF) has announced a significant advancement for graphite, with its recent inclusion in the U.S. National Defense Stockpile Acquisitions List for 2022. This reinforces graphite's critical role in national security and technology sectors as the U.S. remains reliant on imported graphite, primarily from China.
