Ottawa, Ontario, Sept 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it will participate in the Canada Investment Summit 2026 (the "Investment Summit" or the "Summit"), taking place September 14-15 in Toronto and hosted by Prime Minister Mark Carney in partnership with CPP Investments and PSP Investments, and that the Company's 100%-owned Lac Knife Graphite Project ("Lac Knife" or the "Project") has been included in the investment deal book prepared in connection with the Summit.
The inaugural Investment Summit will bring together leading global investors, Canadian CEOs and public-sector representatives in a practical forum focused on long-horizon capital, commercial opportunities and productive Canadian assets. The Government of Canada has positioned the Summit within its broader objective of catalyzing C$1 trillion in total investment in Canada over the next five years, with critical minerals identified among the sectors expected to help drive new investment and strengthen Canada's economic resilience.
"The Canada Investment Summit provides Focus with an important opportunity to engage directly with some of the world's leading institutional and strategic investors, while Lac Knife's inclusion in the investment deal book ensures the Project is part of that broader investment conversation," said Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite. "With strong feasibility-stage economics, a defined capital requirement and growing government support for Canadian critical mineral development, we believe Lac Knife is well positioned for this next stage of investor and strategic engagement."
Lac Knife Investment Highlights
Located near Fermont, Québec, Lac Knife is one of North America's highest-grade feasibility-stage natural graphite projects. The 2023 NI 43-101 Feasibility Study Update ("FSU") defines 9.31 million tonnes of Probable Mineral Reserves grading 14.97% graphitic carbon (Cg) and supports a 27-year mine life producing approximately 50,000 tonnes of graphite concentrate annually.
The FSU base-case economic analysis includes:
C$2.76 billion in projected total life-of-mine revenue;
C$1.76 billion in pre-tax total cash flow;
C$500.6 million pre-tax Net Present Value (NPV) at an 8% discount rate, a 29.1% pre-tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and a 2.88-year payback period;
approximately C$236.9 million in estimated pre-production capital; and
C$284.8 million after-tax NPV at an 8% discount rate, a 22.6% after-tax IRR and a 3.38-year payback period.
On an after-tax basis, the FSU estimates approximately C$1.08 billion in total cash flow over the Project life.
The combination of projected life-of-mine revenue and defined pre-production capital provides Lac Knife with a capital-efficient development profile relative to the scale of the opportunity. The Project's high-grade orebody also supports a relatively low annual ore-processing requirement of approximately 365,000 tonnes to produce approximately 50,000 tonnes of graphite concentrate per year. Pilot-scale process work supporting the FSU produced a calculated concentrate grade of 98.2% total carbon, with the salable concentrate product grading 97.8% total carbon.
"Critical mineral security now comes down to execution and capital formation," said Jason Latkowcer, Vice President, Corporate Development of Focus Graphite. "Lac Knife has the grade, the defined resource and the feasibility work behind it. As permitting, infrastructure and commercial work advance, the Project is moving into a stage where institutional and strategic capital can help bridge the gap between a proven Canadian resource and an operating asset. That is the conversation we are bringing to the Canada Investment Summit."
Potential Capital Advantage
Importantly, the 2023 FSU predates the introduction of Canada's Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit ("CTM ITC"), and therefore no potential benefit from the incentive is incorporated into the Project's published NPV, IRR or capital estimates.
The CTM ITC provides a refundable tax credit equal to 30% of the capital cost of eligible property associated with qualifying activities, including the extraction and processing of graphite, for qualifying property acquired beginning January 1, 2024 and becoming available for use on or before December 31, 2031.
For illustrative purposes, if the full approximately C$236.9 million initial capital estimate were eligible for the 30% credit, the potential refundable tax credit value would be approximately C$71.1 million, equivalent to reducing the net effective cost of that capital to approximately C$165.8 million. This illustrative calculation is not an updated capital estimate or economic analysis for Lac Knife. Actual eligibility, timing and the amount of any CTM ITC ultimately available to the Project will depend on the classification, use and timing of individual property and expenditures and compliance with applicable tax legislation.
Government-supported pathway toward development
Focus continues to advance Lac Knife through permitting, environmental studies, infrastructure planning, engineering, Indigenous engagement, customer qualification and commercial partnerships.
The Company has secured up to C$1.38 million in non-repayable funding through Natural Resources Canada's ("NRCan") First and Last Mile Fund ("FLMF") to advance road and grid-power planning for Lac Knife. Focus is also advancing its broader Canadian mine-to-market strategy through up to C$14.1 million in NRCan funded support under the Global Partnerships Initiative ("GPI") for development and demonstration of a Canadian continuous electrothermal graphite purification platform. Together, these initiatives represent approximately C$15.5 million in announced federal funding supporting Lac Knife infrastructure and Focus's downstream graphite strategy.
Lac Knife is located within the traditional territory of Innu Takuaikan Uashat mak Mani-utenam ("ITUM"). Focus and ITUM entered into a Pre-Development Agreement in 2014 that established a framework for ongoing engagement, collaboration and future economic participation as the Project advances. Ongoing dialogue with ITUM continues as Focus advances Lac Knife through its environmental and permitting work and toward completion of the mine permitting process.
Focus is pursuing potential equity, debt, project finance, strategic partnership, joint venture and offtake relationships as part of its broader strategy to advance Lac Knife toward development and establish a secure Canadian source of natural graphite for North American and allied supply chains.

HONG KONG, Sept 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - The 11th Quam IR Awards (referred to as the “Awards”) was successfully held on September 9, 2026, honoring investor relations and corporate governance teams that have effectively implemented exemplary standards in a fast-changing financial market. Hosted by Quam Investor Relations, the Awards has officially embarked on its second decade, continuing its long-standing tradition of recognizing outstanding listed companies and witnessing the industry strive for continuous progress and high-quality market development.
Management of Quam Plus Financial Group, including Ms. May Mak, Chief Financial Officer (sixth from the right); and Dr. Army Yan, Chief Investment Officer (fifth from the left), took picture together with award presenters and representatives of awarded companies.
Embarking on a New Decade: Empowering Capital Markets and Value Creation
High standards of transparency and information disclosure by listed companies remain the cornerstone for investors to make informed decisions and are vital to maintaining the vitality of the capital market. For over a decade, the Quam IR Awards has been dedicated to fostering efficient communication between enterprises and the investment community, earning widespread credibility and recognition. Despite the complex macroeconomic environment and market headwinds in recent years, this year's Awards continued to receive enthusiastic support and active participation from the industry, reflecting the unwavering commitment of listed companies to uphold professionalism and deepen investor confidence amidst volatility.
Deepening ESG and High-Quality Growth Amid Evolving Global Regulations
As global sustainability standards continue to rise, the Quam IR Awards maintains its focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance, honoring leading enterprises in green transformation and compliance governance. This year's Awards continues to feature key recognitions, celebrating companies that demonstrate transparent market communication and fulfill long-term commitments through high-quality sustainability reporting.
In response to the latest regulatory dynamics and the comprehensive advancement of international disclosure standards such as ISSB, the event specially invited professional institutions to host keynote sessions. These discussions analyzed emerging compliance trends and the new language of investor communication, equipping the industry to seize market opportunities through forward-looking positioning and comprehensively enhance green competitiveness.
Recognizing the growing importance of ESG issues, the event specially invited Alaya Consulting Limited to deliver a keynote presentation. Mr. Tony Wong, Founder and GRI Certified Training Partner, spoke on the theme "ISSB and the Future of Investor Communication," equipping the industry with the latest ESG insights on its path toward sustainable development.
Navigating Market Challenges Together
Mr.Stacey Wong, Chief Operating Officer of Quam Plus Financial Group, said at the opening remark “The turnover of the Hong Kong stock market has gone from strength to strength, averaging about HK$240 billion per day in 2025 to close to HK$280 billion in the first half of 2026. However, the Stock Connect stocks account for about 85% of such liquidity. The remaining 2,000 companies, about 80% of all listed companies, only share 15% of the daily turnover. In addition, there are over 100 IPOs a year to fight for a piece of the pie! It is no small feat in being able to draw retail eyeballs and gain traction among the institutions.
Tough as it is, our IR friends plough on with dedication and professionalism, quietly working behind the scenes. For this, I salute you.”
Ms. May Mak, Chief Financial Officer of Quam Plus Financial Group, said “Over the past year, we have all navigated a dynamic economic environment. In a world with so much information and market fluctuation, just releasing earnings data is no longer enough. Investors are looking for more than just numbers. They want to understand the strategy behind the results, the leadership's vision for the future, and how the company holds up under pressure
Every winner in this room today is a great example of telling a successful corporate story. You have built a platform for ongoing success and communicated your long-term vision with clarity and transparency. By doing so, you have earned market trust and built confidence across Hong Kong's financial market.”
Steadfast Support from Industry Peers and Media Allies
Quam Investor Relations was honored to have Dr. Michael Y.K. Chan, Honorary Chairman of Hong Kong Institute of Marketing; Dr Jason Ho, Board Director, Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute; and Mr. Tony Wong, Founder and GRI Nominated Trainer of Alaya Consulting Limited, as award presenters, witnessing this grand occasion.
