(TSXV: GPH) (OTCQX: GPHOF) (\"Graphite One\", \"G1\" or the \"Company\") announced today that results from independent analysis of Graphite Creek garnet material confirm the presence of Rare Earths in the Graphite Creek deposit, with elevated levels of the magnet and Heavy Rare Earths (\"HREE\"). The drill core samples were from the anticipated pit outlined in G1's Feasibility Study (\"FS\") completed in February 2025, suggesting that REE recovery could potentially proceed alongside graphite extraction in the early years of mining operations.\nKey findings from the testing performed by Activation Laboratory (\"ActLabs\") of Ancaster, Canada, include:\nBulk rock geochemical analyses indicate that Graphite Creek hosts an increased proportion of \"Magnet REEs\" and HREEs relative to LREEs.Garnets, known for housing HREE+Sc+Y in their mineral structure, appear to be the reason for the relative abundance of HREEs at Graphite Creek.85% of the REEs in the garnet material are magnet or HREEs.Dysprosium in the garnets ranges from 32-63 ppm; Yttrium in garnets ranges from 198-427 ppm; Scandium ranges from 84 to 141 ppm.\"While these results are preliminary, they are clearly promising,\" said Anthony Huston, CEO of G1. \"Few rare earth deposits have such a strong presence of magnet and Heavy Rare Earths. With Graphite Creek already confirmed by the USGS as the nation's largest natural graphite deposit 'and among the largest in the ...
