First Canadian Graphite to Attend the 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 / ACCESS Newswire / 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.
