First Canadian Graphite (doing business as FC Graphite) is a Canadian junior mining exploration and development company publicly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX.V: FCI) and OTCQB (GRAPF), headquartered in Montréal with a secondary office in Vancouver. The company is a single-project operator, focused exclusively on advancing the Lac Guéret South Project in the Télépisca Region of Northern Québec — a district-scale land package covering approximately 16,704 hectares and bordering Nouveau Monde Graphite's Uatnan Graphite Project. Cumulative exploration investment exceeds $10 million, and the project hosts a NI 43-101 indicated and inferred graphite resource totaling 3.2 Mt, with Zone 1 carrying 1.76 Mt Indicated at 17% Cg and 1.53 Mt Inferred at 16.4% Cg; less than 10% of the land package has been drilled to date.

The company's core technology is conventional mineral exploration, relying on diamond drilling, geological surveying, and helicopter-borne geophysical surveys to expand the resource base under NI 43-101 reporting standards. The project's mineralization is characterized by predominantly large and jumbo-sized graphite flakes, which support higher market premium value for advanced technology applications. FC Graphite is pre-revenue and has not disclosed pricing, distribution arrangements, or offtake agreements; future revenue is expected to be generated from graphite sales to battery and EV manufacturers, energy storage system producers, and advanced technology end-users upon successful development and production. Key infrastructure advantages include proximity to Port de Baie-Comeau (a deep sea port roughly 285 km from the project) and Centrale Manic 5 (a hydro-electric facility), which are expected to reduce future development costs and timelines.

FC Graphite is in the development phase of a multi-year exploration and permitting pathway. A fully funded 2026 exploration program includes completed helicopter-borne geophysical surveys, planned summer field exploration, environmental baseline studies, and a fall diamond drilling campaign. The company's go-to-market posture is investor-focused rather than commercial, relying on corporate communications, IR alerts, press releases, and a downloadable corporate presentation PDF, alongside social media presence on X, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Future commercial distribution is anticipated through direct offtake agreements with battery and EV manufacturers, leveraging the project's port and grid power access to supply domestic North American critical mineral supply chains.
