Mining Investment Event in Quebec City
Management to host one-on-one investor meetings to discuss ongoing
advancements at its Lac Guéret South Project
MONTREAL, QC / May 15, 2026 / First Canadian Graphite Inc. (TSXV:FCI) (OTCQB:GRAPF)
("FC Graphite" or the "Company") will be participating in one-on-one meetings at THE Mining
Investment Event (“THE Event”) from June 2-4, 2026 at the Quebec Convention Centre, Quebec
City, Canada.
FC Graphite's new management team of John LaGourgue, CEO, Antoine Fournier, VP of
Exploration, and Scott Kelly, CFO will be in attendance and look forward to meeting with investors
and key stakeholders throughout the three-day conference.
"THE Mining Investment Event presents an exceptional opportunity to engage directly with key
industry leaders, government officials, and innovators to drive the conversations shaping our
industry's future.” said John LaGourgue, CEO. “We are eager to connect with stakeholders, share
our recent milestones and upcoming plans at Lac Guéret South, and explore strategic
opportunities in Quebec."
The Lac Guéret South project, formerly known as the Berkwood Project, borders Nouveau Monde
Graphite’s Uatnan graphite project in the southwest Manicouagan reservoir area, 234 km north-
northwest of Baie-Comeau, in the Côte-Nord administrative region of Québec on the Nitassinan
(ancestral territory) of the Pessamit Innu. Lac Guéret South features surface-exposed graphite
and a NI 43-101 resource at Zone 1 containing: 1.76 million tonnes indicated at 17% Cg and
1.53 million tonnes inferred at 16.4% Cg, among the highest graphite grades reported
globally.
A comprehensive airborne geophysical survey was recently flown over the property, with results
to be announced shortly. The survey confirmed several other significant graphite anomalies
previously identified through surface sampling, highlighting strong exploration upside across the
remainder of the project.
The Company is fully funded for its upcoming summer exploration program, which is scheduled
to commence in June.
