What is the Graphite Creek Project and where is it located?

The project is planned as an open-pit graphite mine and associated mineral processing plant located approximately 60 km (37 miles) north of Nome, Alaska. The Company describes it as being anchored by the Graphite Creek deposit, which it says the US Geological Survey recognises as the largest graphite deposit in the U.S. “and among the largest in the world.”

What is the project’s status under the FAST-41 programme?

The Graphite Creek Project was accepted as a FAST-41 “covered project” on June 2, 2025, and became the first Alaska mining project listed on the FAST-41 Federal Permitting Dashboard. Following the 60-day Coordinated Project Plan process, the detailed permitting timetable was publicly posted on August 5, 2025. The Company says required federal reviews are continuing on schedule, but cautions that there is no certainty that the FAST-41 listing will impact the Company as described.

What does FAST-41 provide according to the announcement?

The announcement says FAST-41 coordinates environmental reviews and authorisations among multiple federal agencies, establishes and publicly posts timelines and milestones, enhances transparency and accountability, and is intended to reduce permitting uncertainty and delays. It also states that the programme does not change environmental or regulatory standards.

What are Graphite One’s plans for manufacturing in Ohio?

Graphite One says it looks forward to pursuing FAST-41 coverage for a planned advanced graphite materials and battery anode manufacturing facility in Ohio. The proposed facility would process Graphite Creek concentrate into high-value anode active material for the U.S. electric vehicle sector, energy storage, AI data centres and defence markets. The Company cautions that the facility may not be built in Ohio.

How does the proposed domestic supply chain strategy work?

The Company says its proposed strategy would transport material to the lower 48 via the Port of Nome and then to an anticipated advanced graphite material and battery anode material manufacturing plant in Ohio, subject to project financing. It also describes a potential recycling facility at the Ohio site, subject to financing. The proposed project would involve mining and processing natural graphite and manufacturing artificial and natural graphite anode active materials primarily for lithium-ion electric vehicle batteries and energy storage markets.

What are the main risks and uncertainties identified by Graphite One?

The Company says there is no certainty that the FAST-41 listing will have the anticipated impact, that the Graphite Creek Project will produce the minerals set out in the FS, or that the Ohio facility will be built. It identifies risks including market prices, exploration and exploitation results, continuity of mineralisation, obtaining necessary permits, licences and title, delays due to third-party opposition, changes in government policies, and the continued availability of capital and financing. It also refers to general economic, market or business conditions and cautions that actual results or developments may differ materially from forward-looking statements.
