APPLIED GRAPHITE EXPANDS STRATEGIC

LAND PACKAGE

VANCOUVER, BC

,

Sept. 23, 2025

/CNW/ - Applied Graphite Technologies Corporation ("

AGT

"),

(TSXV: AGT) announces the acquisition of additional surface rights within the Queens Mines

Complex ("

QMC

"). The QMC is located in the heart of the best graphite geology in

Sri Lanka

. Two

of the three operating mines in

Sri Lanka

are located nearby and the QMC contains both historic and

recent mine workings.

AGT has conducted geophysical surveys across the QMC to identify the graphite veins to depth and

is currently compiling the data for near term release. Eight diamond drill holes also identify vein

systems along trend from the historic mine.

"The additional three properties acquired within the QMC, are adjacent to our existing properties to

make AGT's surface rights contiguous," comments

Don Baxter

, CEO. "AGT now owns the surface

rights and holds subsurface rights over the QMC. We acquired these properties for their strategic

location within AGT's exploration zone, covering known graphite veins and to locate future mine

infrastructure."

About Applied Graphite Technologies

Applied Graphite Technologies is developing the Queens

Mine Complex

in

Sri Lanka

. The QMC is on

private land in the heart of the vein graphite district, with historical workings and vein graphite

outcrops. Vein graphite is naturally high grade (+95% carbon content in the ground) and does not

require primary processing. Testing of vein graphite in lithium-ion battery anodes has shown very

high capacities, performing better than synthetic graphite. Natural vein graphite has a far superior

ESG footprint than synthetic and is cheaper without compromising performance.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in

policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this

release

.

This news release contains forward-looking information as such term is defined in applicable

current expectations and assumptions. The forward-looking information includes statements about

's grids, plans to undertake additional drilling and to develop

reflect management's current beliefs and are based on assumptions made by and information

currently available to

looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees and are subject to risks and uncertainties

that may cause future results to differ materially from those expected. Risk factors that could cause

actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking

information include, among other things, an inability to reach a final acquisition agreement,

inaccurate results from the drilling exercises, a failure to obtain or delays in obtaining the required

regulatory licenses, permits, approvals and consents, an inability to access financing as needed, a

general economic downturn, a volatile stock price, labour strikes, political unrest, changes in the

mining regulatory regime, a failure to comply with environmental regulations and a weakening of

market and industry reliance on high quality graphite.

AGT

of risk factors is not exhaustive.
