E-Power's Tetepisca met tests return 96.7% recovery

Executive Summary

• E‑Power Resources reports scoping‑level metallurgical testwork on its Tetepisca flake graphite property, achieving 96.7% flotation recovery and ~95% concentrate grade (Ct), indicating strong potential for high‑purity, premium‑size graphite concentrate.
• Flake size distribution of the Syndicate concentrate shows ~40% medium‑flake or larger (>80 mesh) with ~22% large‑flake or larger, supporting a high‑value product profile.
• High‑grade bulk samples from three zones (Captain Cosmos 32.7% Cg, Syndicate 25.0% Cg, Graphi West 15.3% Cg) demonstrate robust resource quality across the property.

Key Details

• Metallurgical performance: 96.7% flotation recovery; 94.8% Ct concentrate grade for Graphi West sample; 94.7% Ct for Syndicate sample.
• Particle‑size results: Weighted‑average grade for middle size classes (≤300 µm to >44 µm) – Graphi West 96.41% Ct, Syndicate 96.34% Ct.
• Flake size distribution (Syndicate concentrate): ~40% ≥80 mesh (medium flake or larger); ~22% large‑flake or larger.
• Bulk sample grades: Captain Cosmos target – 32.7% graphitic carbon; Syndicate target – 25.0% Cg; Graphi West target – 15.3% Cg.
• Property overview: Tetepisca property comprises 234 claims (~12,665 ha) in the Innu Nation of Pessamit, fully owned by E‑Power (52 claims carry a 1.5% NSR). The broader Tetepisca Graphite District holds >120 Mt at ~14% Cg (measured & indicated).
• Future work: Revised flow sheet testing planned for Captain Cosmos target; additional testwork to prioritize targets for delineation and resource estimation.

Notable Quotes

“The metallurgical testwork is the first completed on the company's Tetepisca property and was designed as a scoping‑level evaluation of graphite recovery. The results demonstrate the potential for flake graphite mineralization … to yield a high‑value concentrate with composition and flake size characteristics meeting commercial specifications.” – Jamie Lavigne, COO & Director, E‑Power Resources Inc.
