Graphano outlines five target areas at Black Pearl

GEL · Price

Executive Summary

  • Graphano Energy Ltd. received the final interpretation of its helicopter-borne magnetic and time-domain electromagnetic (Mag-TDEM) survey at the Black Pearl Project in Quebec.
  • The survey identified a 6.5-kilometre conductive trend and defined five priority target areas for immediate follow-up exploration.
  • The results expand upon previous findings, refining the footprint of a dominant conductor previously interpreted over 1.2 kilometres, and will guide next-stage prospecting, mapping, and potential drill testing.

Key Details

  • Survey Scope: Helicopter-borne airborne magnetic (Mag) and time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) survey completed over the Black Pearl claims in Quebec.
  • Primary Finding: Definition of an approximately 6.5-kilometre conductive trend across the survey area.
  • Target Prioritization: Identification of five distinct conductive target areas prioritized for initial follow-up exploration.
  • Conductor Refinement: The airborne results expand and refine the conductive footprint previously reported, specifically updating the interpretation of a dominant conductor over approximately 1.2 kilometres in the discovery area.
  • Historical Drilling Context (Oct. 14, 2025 Release):
    • Hole BP25-01: 11.33% Cg (graphitic carbon) over 8.61 metres.
    • Hole BP25-06: 4.81% Cg over 12.25 metres, including 6.63% Cg over 7.07 metres.
    • Hole BP25-03: 7.37% Cg over 4.70 metres.
  • Historical Surface Sampling: Strong channel sample results previously reported, including 15.1% Cg over 14 metres and 17.9% Cg over nine metres.
  • Property Details: Black Pearl consists of 84 claims covering approximately 4,149 hectares and remains largely unexplored outside the current drill-tested area.
  • Geological Setting: Mineralization occurs in a setting comparable to major graphite deposits in the Lac des Iles region.
  • Next Steps: Initiation of prospecting and field reconnaissance over the five priority targets, including mapping and sampling, to confirm conductivity sources and advance targets toward ground geophysics and/or drill testing.
  • Qualified Person: Roger Dahn, BSc, PGeo, Director of the company.

Notable Quotes

  • Dr. Luisa Moreno, CEO: "Getting the final airborne report is a turning point for Black Pearl. We now have a clear, property-scale picture of conductivity and structure, including a 6.5-kilometre trend with five discrete target corridors. When you pair that with the high-grade surface channels and the near-surface drill intersections we have already delivered, it gives us a compelling road map to go straight to the most prospective ground and start building momentum with systematic prospecting and follow-up work."
