Graphite One Says Graphite Creek Accepted for FAST-41 Federal Permitting Dashboard

Graphite One Inc. (TSXV: GPH) (OTCQX: GPHOF) announced FAST-41 coverage for its Graphite Creek project.

• Graphite Creek was accepted as a covered project on the FAST-41 Permitting Dashboard, the first Alaskan mining project listed.
• Graphite One enters the permitting phase, with FAST-41 providing publicly posted federal permitting timelines and procedures.
• FAST-41 status follows the April 23, 2025 Feasibility Study, supported by a $37.3M Defense Production Act award.
• The Feasibility Study gives Graphite Creek Mine annual graphite concentrate capacity of 175,000 tpy and a 20-year mine life.
• The study projects a post-tax internal rate of return of 27%, using an 8% discount rate, with $5.03 billion net present value and a payback period of 7.5 years.
• The planned supply chain would produce graphite concentrate north of Nome, Alaska, and Anode Active Material at a Warren, Ohio facility, subject to financing.

The company cautioned that FAST-41 may not affect it, the project may not produce the Feasibility Study minerals, and the Warren, Ohio facility may not be built; risks include permits, licenses, title, third-party opposition, policy changes, capital, financing, and economic conditions.
