Focus Graphite Announces Final Results From

2022 Drill Program at Lac Tetepisca; West

Limb Extends Mineralized Strike to 8 KM

Results Position Lac Tetepisca for a Mineral Resource Update

and Next-Phase Metallurgical Advancement

Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 18, 2025) -

Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS)

(OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0)

("

Focus

" or the "

Company

"), a leading developer of high-grade

flake graphite deposits and innovator of next-generation lithium-ion battery technology, reports the final

assay results from its 2022 exploration and definition drilling program at the Company's 100%-owned

Lac Tetepisca Graphite Project (the "

Project

"). Today's disclosure includes results from the remaining

twenty-two (22) drill holes on the West Limb, along with complementary results from six (6) previously

disclosed holes in the Southwest extension of the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor ("

MOGC

")

flake graphite deposit.

These results extend the drilled strike length of mineralization to approximately eight (8) kilometers along

a folded structure. All assay results from the 2022 drill campaign have now been received and released.

Highlights

Final assay results received from the Focus's 2022 Lac Tetepisca drill program drill program have

now been received, completing 74 drill holes totalling 14,900.5 meters and 11,824 assays and

enabling the Company to proceed with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate in Q1 2026.

Results from the 22 West Limb and 6 Southwest MOGC holes extend confirmed graphite

mineralization along a approximately 8-km strike length, significantly expanding the scale of the

Lac Tetepisca system.

Multiple West Limb holes returned significant graphite intervals, more or less aligned on strike

along one of the aeromagnetic anomalies, including:

39.16 m (true) @ 9.02% Cg, including 10.50 m @ 24.49% Cg (LT-22-160)

12.55 m (true) @ 8.90% Cg and 24.97 m (true) @ 6.43% Cg (LT-22-161)

10.98 m (true) @ 8.17% Cg and multiple additional mineralized horizons (LT-22-162)

Drilling at the Southwest MOGC intersected a second, structurally distinct mineralized horizon,

highlighted by:

20.19 m (true) @ 9.71% Cg, including 8.61 m @ 14.76% Cg (LT-22-141)

Completion of the full assay dataset represents a major technical milestone, positioning Focus to

reassess the scale, continuity, and development potential of Lac Tetepisca as it advances toward

metallurgical, purification, and downstream application testing.

Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite, stated, "The completion of all assays from our

2022 drilling program provides the complete dataset required to advance an updated Mineral Resource

Estimate, anticipated in Q1 2026. The current maiden resource predates all 2022 drilling, and the results

confirm meaningful upgrade potential across the Lac Tetepisca system."

While mineralized intervals intersected in the West Limb are not to the same extent than those in the

main MOGC deposit, it demonstrated the continuity of the broad low grade graphitic mineralization in

this area, at a different stratigraphic level than on the South Limb where MOGC is located. The extent of

this low-grade zone is apparently sufficient to be considered in the incoming Mineral Resource Estimate

("

MRE

") update planned for Q1 2026.Despite being lower grade, definition of, "significant

mineralization" is defined as intercepts grading ≥5.0% graphitic carbon ("Cg") over a minimum true

thickness of 6.0 metres, with internal dilution set at a maximum of 7.0 consecutive metres and no

external dilution. This definition has been maintained to be consistent with previous releases.

MOGC Resource Background

The MOGC flake graphite deposit is part of the Company's Lac Tetepisca Project, located southwest of

the Manicouagan Reservoir on the Nitassinan of the Pessamit Innu First Nation, in Quebec's Cote-Nord

region. The MOGC is currently defined by a linear 1.5 km long segment of an 8 km long folded

geophysical magnetic-electromagnetic anomaly that trends N035°. The April 4, 2022 NI 43-101

Technical Report, prepared by DRA America's Inc. ("

DRA

"), outlines a pit-constrained Indicated

Resource of 59.3 million tonnes (Mt) grading 10.61% Graphitic Carbon (Cg) for an estimated content of

6.3 Mt of natural flake graphite (in-situ), and an Inferred Resource of 14.9 Mt grading 11.06% Cg for an

estimated content of 1.6 Mt of natural flake graphite. This maiden resource predates all drilling

completed in 2022. An updated MRE incorporating all 2022 drill holes is expected in Q1 2026.

The current maiden resource-which positions the MOGC as one of the largest flake graphite deposits in

North America-is detailed in the

NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate Lac

Tetepisca Graphite Project, Quebec

, prepared by DRA and dated April 4, 2022. The reporst is

available on the Company's profile at

www.sedarplus.ca/

on the Company's profile. This maiden

resource predates all drilling completed in 2022. As demonstrated in previous releases, the 2022 drill

program extended the mineralization at depth and to the southwest, and now to the West Limb.

2022 Exploration and Definition Drill Program

Focus completed 74 diamond drill holes totalling 14,900.5 metres between March 3 and November 17,

2022 at the Project. Program objectives of the exploration and definition drilling program were twofold:

1

.

Complete systematic definition drilling along strike and at depth of the MOGC deposit to support

the conversion of Inferred resources to the Indicated category and to expand the total mineral

resource estimate.

2

.

Test the graphite abundance that might be the cause of the magnetic and aeromagnetic anomaly

extending from the MOGC toward the Southwest extension and West Limb.

Prior to this release, the Company disclosed full results from twenty-seven (27) definition holes drilled

along strike of the MOGC deposit, partial results for eighteen (18) exploration holes at the Southwest

MOGC target and seven (7) exploration holes at the West Limb target.

The remaining results from West Limb (22 holes, Table 1, Figure 1) and Southwest MOGC (6 holes,

Table 3, Figure 1) are provided herein. All assays results for the 2022 campaign are now complete.

Also included are minor corrections of previously released results for two (2) West Limb holes (Table 2,

Figure 1).

One aborted hole (LT-22-147) in the Southwest MOGC target was abandoned due to technical/drilling

difficulties and was successfully re-drilled and under the LT-22-172 moniker.

West Limb: Exploration Drill Results

The West Limb zone consists of the other segment of the regionally folded aeromagnetic anomaly and

hosts up to three time-parallel aeromagnetic anomalies interpreted as potential stratigraphic duplication

or tectonic imbrication within the folded structure. A total of twenty-nine (29) exploration holes (5,421.6

m) were drilled on different segments of the anomalies, of which results from seven (7) on the

southeastmost anomaly were previously released (May 28, 2025). The twenty-two (22) exploration holes

released today (Table 1) confirm consistent graphitic horizons and highlighted the structural complexity

of the area. Six (6) drill holes intersected significant graphitic mineralization, including:

Table 3 - Highlights from the six (6) exploration holes drilled at the Southwest MOGC target in

2022 with hosts rock results and released today

Notes:

(1) True thicknesses are reported in this news release and are based on the local dip of the mineralised envelope as calculated on 3-D model.

Core descriptions, sampling information and analytical results were captured in Geotic™ core logging software and then used with LeapFrog Geo

software for tri-dimensional (3-D) rendering. The 3-D mineralisation envelope of MOGC has an azimuth of N035.5° and dips at -58.5° to the south-

east. The drill holes crosscut the envelope of the main mineralised zone's strike (80°) and dips (60

o

) at high angle.

(2) "Best intercepts" and "significant graphitic mineralisation" are defined as Cg grading a minimum of 5.0% over at least 6.0 m with internal

dilution set at a maximum of 7.0 m consecutive and no external dilution. "Best sub-intercepts" are defined as Cg grading a minimum of 10.0% over

6.0 m with same limitations on dilution. The 5% cg and 10% Cg cut-offs are used solely to delineate the extent of the mineralised envelopes

corresponding to "Best intercepts" and "Best sub-intercepts", respectively. Economic cut-offs based on geological, metallurgical, mining, and

economic factors, parameters and considerations will be determined as part of the mineral resource estimate update planned for the Lac

Tétépisca project later through subsequent technical studies.

(3) Barren core intervals within the mineralised envelope of the MOGC that were not analysed are considered as 0.0% Cg internal dilution.

(4) Analyses were performed by Activation Laboratories of Ancaster, Ont., an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certified facility using combustion in induction

furnace and infrared spectrometry (code 4F - C-Graphitic) and are reported as graphitic carbon (Cg) and total sulphur (code 4F-S), with about

10% of the sample duplicated for quality control analyzed by COREM. Except for holes 145 and 146, where all the samples were analysed by

COREM and the cross checks by ACTLABS for quality control.

(5) QA/QC program: IOS introduced 17% reference samples, including certified and internal reference materials, duplicates, and blank samples.

9.7 percent of the drill core samples were duplicated and re-analyzed by COREM for graphitic, total, organic and inorganic carbon as well as total

sulphur (or by ACTLABS for duplicated samples in holes 145 and 146). The same 9.7 % of the drill core samples were also analysed by ACTLABS

Laboratories of Ancaster, Ontario (ISO/IEC 17025:2005 with CAN-P-1579) for trace metals by ICP-MS after aqua-regia digestion (code 1E2).

2022 Drill Program: Design, Operation, and Quality Control

The 2022 drilling program was designed and operated by IOS Geosciences Inc. (IOS) of Saguenay,

Quebec, under the supervision of Table Jamésienne de Concertation Minière (TJCM) of Chibougamau,

Quebec, acting as technical adviser to the Company. Drilling was performed by Forage G4 of Val-d'Or,

Quebec using a single drill rig.

Sample Preparation and Analysis

Starting in March 2022, drill core boxes for each hole, once logged, were packaged by sequential

numbers onto pallets in the field by IOS personnel and then shipped by truck every two weeks to IOS's

facilities in Saguenay where they are currently archived. Sampling has been conducted with a diamond

saw, with NQ-diameter core from the Southwest MOGC and West Limb targets being halved, while all

HQ-diameter core from the MOGC deposit being quartered. Sample preparation work at IOS consisting

of crushing and grinding and the insertion in the sample sequences of QA/QC samples. A total of 545

pulverized splits from the currently disclosed set of drill holes were sent to Activation Laboratories in

Ancaster, Ontario (ISO/IEC 17025:2005 with CAN-P-1579) for graphitic carbon (code 4F - C-Graphitic)

and total sulphur analysis (code 4F - S) using an Eltra® induction furnace with infrared spectroscopy.

However, holes 145 and 146 followed the process prior to the inversion of the laboratories (Corem as

first laboratory and verification by actlabs). The 14 samples from holes 145 and 146 were analysed by

COREM for graphitic carbon (code B10) and total sulphur (code B41). The subset of 9.7% of samples

was also analyzed for 40 trace element analysis using ICP-OES and ICP-MS after an aqua-regia

digestion at Activation Laboratories (Code 1E2 - Aqua Regia). This brings the total number of core

samples analyzed under the project to more than 9,800, excluding reference materials and duplicates.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

The analytical quality control program for the Lac Tetepisca project has been implemented by an IOS

registered chemist and is identical to the one used for previous drill programs at Lac Tetepisca and at

the Company's Lac Knife project. Under the QA/QC program, a total of 54 duplicates of the core

samples, or 9.7 %, were analysed by the two selected laboratories. The current set of analyses included

52 duplicates of the core samples which were re-analyzed by COREM for graphitic carbon duplicated

analyses (code B10), total sulphur (code B41), total carbon (code B45), organic carbon (code B58) and

inorganic carbon (code B11) and the 2 duplicates of the core samples from holes 145 and 146 were re-

analyzed by Activation Laboratories for graphitic carbon (code 4F - C-Graphitic) and total sulphur

analysis (code 4F - S), in accordance with the QAQC plan when these holes are treated.

A total of 105

reference materials (about 17% of all the samples analysed) were inserted in the sample sequences,

either certified or internal reference material samples (CDN-GR1, CMRI12, Oreas-723, OREAS-724,

OREAS-725, CGL-004, NCS-DC-60119), duplicates (quarter-split core or grinding duplicates), and

preparation and analyses blanks, not including the ones inserted by the assaying laboratories.

About the Lac Tetepisca Graphite Project

Focus Graphite's 100%-owned Lac Tetepisca Graphite Project is in the Southwest Manicouagan

reservoir area of the Cote-Nord region of Quebec, one of North America's leading emerging flake

graphite districts. The project lies on the

Nitassinan

of the Pessamit Innu First Nation, 234 km north-

northwest of the city of Baie-Comeau, an industrial city located where the Manicouagan River intersects

the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. It comprises two contiguous properties, Lac Tetepisca and

Lac Tetepisca Nord. Together, the two properties form a block of 126 map-designated claims (total

area: 6,785.14 ha). Focus purchased a 100% unencumbered interest of the mineral rights in the 67

CDC claims constituting the original Lac Tetepisca property from a third party in August 2011. The Lac

Tetepisca Nord property was map-staked by the Company in 2012. The Lac Tetepisca Project is

accessible year-round by way of a network of secondary gravel roads that extend north from Highway

389, 10 km to the south of the Manic 5 hydroelectric power station.

From 2014 to 2021, Focus tested the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor with 106 drill holes drilled

over a 1.4 km strike length (total: 16,468 metres). The drilling formed the basis of a NI 43-101 maiden

mineral resource estimate (MRE) for the Lac Tetepisca graphite project with the MRE technical report

filed on SEDAR+ (

www.sedarplus.ca/

) on April 5, 2022. The mineral resource estimate, prepared by

DRA Global Limited's Montreal office, includes a pit-constrained Indicated resource for the MOGC

prospect at the Lac Tetepisca project of 59.3 million tonnes (Mt) grading 10.61% Graphitic Carbon (Cg)

for an estimated content of 6.3 Mt of natural flake graphite (in-situ), plus an Inferred resource of 14.9 Mt

grading 11.06% Cg for an estimated content of 1.6 Mt of natural flake graphite.

Additional maps of the Lac Tetepisca property showing the location of the MOGC graphite deposit,

along with updated drill sections, are available on the Company's website at
