Disseminated on behalf of Focus Graphite Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2026) - Fundamental Research Corp. ("FRC") is pleased to announce that it has initiated research coverage on Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0). The report, titled "The Graphite Arbitrage: High-Grade, Low-Cost Supply for Defense & Critical Industries – Initiating Coverage," highlights the Company's strategic positioning within the critical minerals sector.

FRC's report details Focus Graphite's two key Quebec-based assets—Lac Knife and Tétépisca—both high-grade graphite projects in a mining-friendly jurisdiction. Lac Knife hosts one of the highest-grade graphite deposits in North America and has completed feasibility studies, while Tétépisca is also high-grade and ranks among the continent's largest graphite resources. Both projects feature open-pit mining potential and favorable strip ratios, supporting efficient, low-cost production.

In December 2025, Focus Graphite secured $14 million in non-repayable government funding to develop a facility producing ultra-high-purity graphite (>99.95% C) for defense, aerospace, and advanced technology applications. Graphite is essential in lithium-ion batteries and defense applications, and listed among NATO’s Defence Critical Raw Materials. The U.S. has a pressing need for domestic graphite production, as it imports 100% of its graphite consumption.
