Graphano Receives Exploration Work Authorisations for all Quebec Properties

Core Viewpoint - Graphano Energy Ltd. has received the necessary "Autorisation de Travaux à Impact" (ATI) for its exploration properties in Québec, allowing the company to advance its exploration initiatives and capitalize on its graphite assets [1][2]. Government Authorizations for Exploration - In May 2024, Québec implemented new exploration permitting requirements aimed at enhancing transparency and incorporating community feedback into mineral exploration activities. Companies must obtain ATI from the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF) before conducting exploration activities that may impact the land [3]. 2025 Exploration Program - Graphano is set to begin its exploration campaigns this quarter, focusing on trenching, targeted sampling, and drilling to further delineate graphite mineralization across its properties. The company emphasizes responsible operations and ongoing engagement with local communities and stakeholders [4]. About Graphano Energy - Graphano Energy Ltd. is dedicated to evaluating, acquiring, and developing energy metals resources, transitioning from exploration to production [5]. Industry Context - Graphite is increasingly in demand as a critical mineral for green technologies, particularly in lithium batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage solutions. The Lac Aux Bouleaux property is strategically located near Canada's only producing graphite mine, highlighting its potential in meeting future graphite demands [6].
