Core Viewpoint - Graphano Energy Ltd. has commenced drilling at its 100% owned Black Pearl graphite project in Québec, aiming to expand known graphite mineralization and define the deposit's potential [1][2]. Company Overview - Graphano Energy Ltd. is focused on exploring and developing energy metals resources, transitioning from exploration to production [6]. - The company holds multiple projects, including the flagship Lac Aux Bouleaux property and the Standard Mine project, alongside the newly discovered Black Pearl project [7]. Project Highlights - The Black Pearl project was discovered in 2024 and has shown promising initial sampling results, including significant grades of graphite mineralization, such as 15.1% Cg over 14 metres and 17.9% Cg over 9 metres [9]. - The current drilling program will involve approximately 600 metres of diamond drilling targeting multiple high-priority areas identified through recent geophysical and geological work [2][9]. - Geological support for the drilling is provided by Mercator Geological Services Ltd., with local management from St-Pierre Exploration Enr. [4]. Industry Context - The demand for graphite is increasing, particularly for applications in lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage technologies, positioning Graphano to meet future critical mineral needs [8].
