Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 11, 2026) -
Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB:
FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0)
("
Focus
" or the "
Company
"), a leading developer of high-grade flake graphite
deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to
announce that it has engaged Dr. Reuter Investor Relations ("
Dr. Reuter
") to provide investor
awareness and communications services across Germany and the broader European capital markets,
effective February 16, 2026.
Dr. Reuter is a recognized European investor relations and financial communications firm with an
established network of institutional investors, retail shareholders, and financial media throughout the
DACH region and the European Union. The engagement is intended to enhance Focus Graphite's
visibility among European investors, support market education regarding its vertically integrated graphite
strategy, and strengthen shareholder communications as development advances across the Company's
flagship projects and downstream processing initiatives. Dr. Reuter's business address is Tower 185,
Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage 35-37, 60327 Frankfurt, Germany, and the firm may be contacted at
.
"We are seeing growing strategic and institutional interest from European markets in secure critical
minerals supply chains, particularly for battery materials, defence, and advanced industrial applications,"
said Dean Hanisch, CEO of Focus Graphite. "European stakeholders are increasingly focused on
diversifying supply away from highly concentrated sources of graphite. Engaging Dr. Reuter strengthens
our ability to communicate directly with German and broader European capital markets, expand
institutional awareness, and improve investor access as we advance our resource development and
technology initiatives."
The engagement comes at a time of accelerating European policy and industrial focus on securing
domestic and allied sources of critical raw materials. European governments and industrial stakeholders
are increasingly prioritizing supply chain resilience, diversification away from highly concentrated foreign
sources, and long-term access to graphite and other materials supporting battery, energy storage,
defence, and broader dual-use industrial applications. Initiatives tied to defence readiness and industrial
capacity, including frameworks such as the European Union's "ReArm Europe" strategy, are reinforcing
demand for secure, traceable, and jurisdictionally aligned graphite supply. The Company believes its
high-grade natural graphite resources and downstream processing strategy are well aligned with these
evolving European defence and dual-use supply chain priorities.
Complementing this engagement, the Company will be participating in the Canadian Critical Minerals
Mission to Europe taking place February 16-20, 2026, with scheduled engagements in Rome, Munich,
and Paris alongside representatives from Natural Resources Canada and Invest in Canada. The
mission is expected to facilitate direct dialogue with government stakeholders, industrial partners, and
institutional investors, supporting the advancement of secure transatlantic critical minerals supply chains
and expanding strategic relationships across European capital markets and downstream industrial
sectors.
Under the terms of the agreement, Dr. Reuter will provide investor relations and financial public relations
services across European capital markets, including campaign and editorial articles, translation and
distribution of press releases, journalist targeting, social media outreach, and ongoing performance
reporting. The agreement commences February 16, 2026 and runs for an initial six-month term ending
August 16, 2026, at a monthly fee of €4,000. The agreement includes a performance review after three
months, at which time the Company may terminate the engagement within seven days without penalty if
services are not meeting expectations. Following the initial term, the agreement may be renewed upon
mutual consent of both parties. Dr. Reuter is arm's length to the Company and, to the knowledge of the
Company, holds no securities of Focus Graphite.
