Graphite One’s Ohio Air Permit Application Enters Technical Review

Graphite One Inc. (TSXV: GPH) (OTCQX: GPHOF) says Ohio EPA has accepted its air permit application and started technical review for its planned Conneaut facility.

• Ohio EPA determined the Company’s air permit application was preliminarily and administratively complete and commenced technical review.
• The review concerns the planned Active Anode Materials (AAM) facility in Conneaut, Ohio, which is designed to produce synthetic AAM.
• The release says acceptance confirms the application contains information required for detailed technical review and is a step toward issuance of the required air permit.
• The initial phase is expected to produce approximately 10,000 tonnes per year, with planned expansion to 25,000 tonnes per year.
• Subject to permitting, regulatory approvals, and financing, the company expects synthetic AAM production to commence in Q4 2027.
• The release says the Ohio facility can move to production independently of Graphite Creek, where natural graphite production is targeted for 2029.

The company cautions there is no certainty that Ohio EPA technical review and the EIS process will be completed on the timeline or in the manner described. It also says actual results or developments may differ materially from forward-looking statements.
