About Focus

About us

Focus Graphite Inc. is an advanced materials company developing sustainable mining and technology innovations. At the heart of our operations is the Lac Knife flake graphite deposit, known for its high purity and grade—ideal for applications in the military, defense, and green energy revolutions. Currently advancing through Canada’s mine permitting process, Focus Graphite is on the verge of transforming this resource into a viable supplier of critical mineral.

Our proprietary, environmentally sustainable processing technologies ensure a green, chemical-free pathway from mine to market. The Company’s proprietary silicon-enhanced spheroidized graphite patent technology is aimed at improving battery performance. We specialize in producing advanced, high-purity graphite materials tailored for diverse industries, including EV batteries, military applications, and high-tech manufacturing. Focus Graphite’s commitment extends beyond resource extraction—we are actively seeking partnerships with industry leaders, academic institutions, and government bodies to try and accelerate the commercialization of advanced materials and technologies derived from our flagship project. As a proud Canadian company, we are dedicated to contributing to North America’s secure and sustainable critical minerals supply chain.

Mission Statement

At Focus Graphite, we are committed to driving innovation in the green energy revolution by supplying high-purity natural flake graphite from our North American deposits. Through advanced mining, processing, and proprietary battery materials development, we ensure supply chain security, transparency, and sustainability, reducing reliance on foreign critical minerals. Our full chain of custody guarantees traceability from mine to market, ensuring ethical sourcing and responsible resource management.

 

We leverage environmentally sustainable, non-chemical green processing technologies to minimize our environmental footprint while maximizing performance. Additionally, our proprietary battery anode technology, including silicon-enhanced spheroidized graphite, enhances energy storage solutions for electric vehicles, defense, and industrial applications. By prioritizing responsible innovation, strategic industry and academic partnerships, and advanced material science, we deliver the next generation of graphite-based solutions to power the future.

Our History

Focus Graphite Inc., formerly known as Focus Metals, was listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange in May 2010 under the symbol FMS:V when it acquired the Lac Knife graphite property, located on the Quebec-Labrador border, from IAMGOLD Corporation. Tests and samples taken from Lac Knife indicate that it offers some of the highest-grade graphite flake deposits in the world.

As the potential of graphite and its applications for green energy technology continued to develop, Focus concentrated its acquisitions strategy on the addition of secondary graphite properties to its Lac Knife flagship project. In 2012, it acquired Tétépisca and Lac Guinécourt properties in Quebec for further development.

Focus’ graphite properties are located in Quebec, a jurisdiction that’s among the most favourable towards mining development, particularly of projects that seek to mine critical and battery minerals such as graphite. The Quebec government views itself as a partner in the development of these resources, and the province’s extensive power and transportation infrastructure eases the costs associated with development.

Focus Metals became Focus Graphite in May 2012, selecting a name that better reflected its core business. In 2014, Focus commissioned Met-Chem Canada Inc. (now part of DRA Global Americas) to complete a feasibility study (FS) for the Lac Knife Project, the results of which were positive and indicated a strong return on investment.

Further exploration and testing over the subsequent years indicated that the high-quality graphite found at Lac Knife would make it an excellent source for multiple technology and energy applications.

An environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) study for Lac Knife, conducted by IOS Services Géoscientifiques Inc. (IOS) of Saguenay, Québec, is currently underway. Focus has also commissioned global Engineering firm DRA Americas Inc. (DRA) to update its 2014 feasibility study for the Lac Knife project and prepare a new technical report in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument (NI) 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Today, Focus Graphite is well-positioned to supply large, medium, fine, and superfine grade graphite products for a clean energy technology economy as the world adopts measures to reduce carbon emissions – a key contributor to global warming.
