Graphite, Graphite is very important in battery composition and therefore the future will need more graphite. Graphano is a publicly traded company focusing on the Electric Vehicle and Energy Storage Revolution, mining graphite for these two industries will account for huge returns in the future, thats my opinion of course.

Why do I like Graphano, First we are getting into the company ground level which is always great, secondly CEO Dr Luisa Moreno is an honest person and has been true to her word since our first video a year ago and the company has claims in areas of established infrastructure.

Let us take a look at Graphano’s properties and infrastructure.

The Lac Aux Bouleaux Graphite Property

The Lac Aux Bouleaux Graphite Property (the “LAB Graphite Property”) consists of 14 mineral claims in a contiguous block totalling 738.12 hectares land, on NTS sheet 31J05, near the town of Mont-Laurier in southern Quebec. A small new claim covering 4.86 hectares area (application number 1738877, dated June 30, 2017) was staked to cover the gap between claims 2420591 and 2506091 (Figure 2). The claim will be part of the Property as soon as granted.

Graphano energy corp has easy access and infrastructure in place.

Access

The Property is road-accessible through a provincial highway (Route 117) from Montréal, and then following secondary roads 309 and 311. Various tertiary/forest roads provide access to different claims on the Property. The town of Mont-Laurier is located about 20 kilometres to the north, Montréal 150 kilometres to the southeast, and Ottawa 125 kilometres to the south of the Property. Mont-Laurier is also connected to Montréal via rail. Access has to be negotiated with the surface landowners before starting any exploration work on mineral claims located on private lands. The exploration programs on private lands in Quebec are generally run through negotiations and payment of standard reclamation costs for cutting trees, making access roads and movement of a drill rig. It must be noted that only a small portion of the LAB graphite property is under private lands, the majority of the claims, including the historical deposits, are located within Crown lands.

The Dudley and Lac Vert-Bouthillier graphite

Graphano has staked two sets of additional graphite claims, 5 km and 10 km south from the Lac Aux Bouleaux project, as part of the Company’s consolidation strategy. A total of 11 claims covering 600 hectares were staked and comprise the Dudley and Lac Vert-Bouthillier graphite showings.

The area is underlain by sedimentary rocks of Precambrian age, known as the Grenville Series. The main host rocks of the deposit are a sequence of paragneiss and feldspathic quartzites which strike N 80o E and dip 32o south. The gneisses are irregularly mineralized with graphite and in places contain rich concentrations of the mineral. The associated quartzites are also graphitic. A road once led from the mine site to a small mill, about 800 meters north of the deposit. The mill is now in ruins.

The development of historical graphite deposits as well as new discoveries, all within trucking distance, should allow for resource consolidation to one processing centre at Lac Aux Bouleaux.

STANDARD PROPERTY

The 2022 geophysical survey completed over the area identified conductive anomalies outlining the graphite zone, which extends over 500 meters, and encompasses the historical mine. A drilling program at the Standard Project will be conducted this winter.

Increased demand for Graphite

The need for graphite will increase a staggering 500% according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, that means companies like Graphano is positioned to break into a market with strong demand.

Here is some of Graphano’s latest drilling results overall.

During the last drilling program, approximately 2,800 metres (“m“) were drilled at the LAB (Zone 3) and Standard properties. Most of the holes were shallow (less than 60 m) to test the immediate depth and thickness of the graphite mineralization that was exposed during trenching. Below are the key highlights of the drilling results.

Zone 3 Key Highlights

• Drill Hole LB22-33 intersected 6.26% graphitic carbon (Cg) over 13.7 m starting at 14.0 m drilled depth, including 11.95% Cg over 4.7m at 14 m;
• Drill Hole LB22-45 intersected 9.09% Cg over 8.0 m at 68 m;
• Drill Hole LB22-52 intersected 7.17% Cg over 9.0 m at 36 m;

Standard Key Highlights

• Drill Hole ST23-10 intersected 5.11% graphitic carbon (Cg) over 20.5 m starting at 39.0 m drilled depth, including 6.7% Cg over 9.0 m at 41 m;
• Drill Hole ST23-11 intersected 7.44% Cg over 13.0 m at 31 m;
• Drill Hole ST23-13 intersected 8.99% Cg over 11.3 m at 4.2 m, and 7.65% Cg over 13 m at 56 m;
• Drill Hole ST23-05 intersected 5.79% Cg over 14.0 m at 4.6 m; and
• Drill Hole ST23-07 intersected 5.5% Cg over 8.5 m at 17 m.

(Note: All intersections reported are based on drilled width and have not been converted to the true width).

Zone 3 is one of the eight target areas identified from the 2015 airborne high-resolution magnetic (MAG) and time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) survey completed on the LAB property. Given the strong drill results obtained, this spring exploration program will focus again on Zone 3 and investigate the possible expansion of the zone primarily towards the north with surface trenching, sampling and geological mapping. At the Standard Mine project, similar work will be completed to expand the drilled graphite zones, which remain open in all directions prior to a planned second phase of diamond drilling. The graphite mineralization observed during the drilling is hosted within a sequence of marble, paragneiss and quartzites.

Graphano owns a 100% interest in four graphite properties, including the Standard Mine Project and all within trucking distance from the Lac-Aux-Bouleaux (“LAB“) mine region, to allow for the Company’s resource consolidation strategy to feed a centralized processing plant at LAB. The historical resource at LAB, the recently announced Zone 3 discovery at LAB (see news release dated February 8, 2023) and now the exciting results from the Standard Mine Project re-enforce the economic potential of this consolidation strategy.

The winter drill program at the Standard Mine has intersected very significant graphite mineralization over more than a 500-metre length. The mineralized zones range in thickness from 3 to 20.5 metres with an average thickness of 9.3 metres. The mineralization has been tested from surface (see Table 2: Surface Trenching Results) to a maximum vertical depth of approximately 60 metres and remains open in all directions for continued expansion.

In conclusion

Graphano Energy Corp is positioned in an industry that is the future of where society is heading in terms of automotive and energy storage Industries. Graphite is highly important in the creation of batteries for Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage. We are in the beginning stages of a transition era from analog to digitization in terms of fossil fuels to electrification, when you look at how humanity has transitioned in other areas of analog to digitization, I feel that the trend will continue into these areas in order to accomplish future goals of intertwining Artificial Intelligence and Internet Of Things for example; Investing in graphite just makes sense and Graphano checks all the boxes.
