Graphano Energy Mobilizes Field Crew to Commence Exploration Program at Black Jack
Graphite Discovery
Vancouver, British Columbia, September 23, 2026 – Graphano Energy Ltd. (“Graphano” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: GEL , FSE:97G0 ) is pleased to announce that a field crew, led by St Pierre
Exploration, has been mobilized and is on the ground conducting exploration work at the Company's Black
Jack graphite discovery, located approximately one kilometre northwest of the Company's Black Pearl
graphite discovery in Québec.
The crew is proceeding with the stripping, mapping and systematic channel sampling program at Black
Jack, as previously announced, under the exploration permits received from Québec's Ministère des
Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF). Ground geophysics will also be completed to prepare the
Black Jack sector for exploration drilling. The stripping and assay results from the current work program
will be released once all data has been received.
“Having boots on the ground at Black Jack marks an important step forward for Graphano,” said Dr. Luisa
Moreno, CEO of Graphano Energy. “We are moving quickly to advance this discovery toward drill -ready
targets, building on the strong results we have seen at Black Pearl just one kilometre away.”
