Executive Summary

  • E‑Power Resources reported exceptional metallurgical test results from its Tetepisca Flake Graphite Property, achieving ~96.7% flotation recovery and concentrate grades of ≈ 95% carbon (Ct).
  • The tests demonstrated a high proportion of medium‑ to large‑flake graphite (≈ 40% > 80 mesh; ≈ 22% large flake), indicating strong potential for a premium‑grade product.
  • High‑grade bulk samples from three targets were confirmed (Captain Cosmos 32.7% Cg, Syndicate 25.0% Cg, Graphi West 15.3% Cg), supporting further delineation and resource estimation work.

Key Details

  • Flotation Recovery: 96.7% overall recovery across tested samples.
  • Concentrate Grade: 94.8% Ct (Graphi West) and 94.7% Ct (Syndicate), both within 0.3% of the 95% target.
  • Flake Size Distribution (Syndicate concentrate): ~40% medium flake or larger (> 80 mesh); ~22% large flake or larger.
  • Bulk Sample Grades:
  • Captain Cosmos Target – 32.7% Cg
  • Syndicate Target – 25.0% Cg
  • Graphi West Target – 15.3% Cg
  • Particle Size Grade Averages (‑300 µm to >44 µm):
  • Graphi West – 96.41% Ct
  • Syndicate – 96.34% Ct
  • Property Overview: 234 claims, ~12,665 ha, 100% owned (1.5% NSR on 52 southern claims). Located in the Tetepisca Graphite District with existing measured & indicated resources >120 Mt at ≈14% Cg.
  • Future Work: Revised flow‑sheet testing planned for Captain Cosmos target; additional test work to prioritize targets for delineation and resource estimation.

Notable Quotes

“The metallurgical test work 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, E‑Power Resources
