Graphano Reports 8.61 Metres Grading 11.33% Cg from Drilling Program at the Black Pearl Graphite Project

Executive Summary

• Graphano Energy released initial assay results from its September 2025 drill program at the Black Pearl graphite project in Quebec.
• Multiple drill holes intersected high‑grade near‑surface graphite mineralization (up to 11.33% Cg over 8.61 m), confirming a favorable geologic setting comparable to the Lac des Iles region.
• The results expand known mineralized zones, demonstrate continuity from surface to ~35 m depth, and indicate the deposit remains open for further expansion both laterally and at depth.

Key Details

• Project Overview: Black Pearl comprises 84 claims (4,149 ha) adjacent to Graphano’s Standard Mine project; currently unexplored outside the drilled area.
• Assay Highlights – Channel Sampling: 42 channel samples over ~1,200 m² averaged 13.2% Cg; best intervals 15.1% Cg over 14 m and 17.9% Cg over 9 m.
• Drill Hole Results (selected):
• BP25‑01: 11.33% Cg over 8.61 m starting at 18.64 m depth.
• ST25‑02: Two zones – 4.53% Cg over 5.50 m at 20.50 m and 7.95% Cg over 3.75 m at 31.90 m.
• ST25‑03: Three zones – 7.37% Cg over 4.70 m (12.0–16.7 m), 7.01% Cg over 3.14 m (38.86–42.0 m), 4.77% Cg over 6.50 m (44.5–51.0 m).
• Drilling Summary: Total of 620 m drilled across five holes; mineralization traced from surface to ~35 m depth and remains open at depth.
• Geophysical Context: Holes targeted conductive trends identified by recent ground EM surveys; additional airborne geophysical survey planned to locate further targets.
• Quality Control: Samples processed by Activation Laboratories (ACTLABS) using Code 4F‑C Graphitic method; field duplicates, blanks, and standards included for QA/QC.
• Future Work: Full assay results for all five holes provided in Table 1; additional assay data expected in coming weeks.

Notable Quotes

“These initial drill results validate our exploration model and confirm the presence of strong graphite mineralization at Black Pearl… we are confident this project has the potential to become a significant addition to Graphano's portfolio of graphite assets in Quebec.” – Luisa Moreno, CEO & Director
