September 16, 2024 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Graphite One Inc. (TSX-V: GPH; OTCQX: GPHOF) (“Graphite One” or the “Company”) announces today that it is intending to extend the expiry date of an aggregate 2,802,690 outstanding common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) due to expire on September 17, 2024, all of which are held by Bering Straits Native Corporation (“BSNC”). BSNC is a strategic partner at the Company’s Graphite Creek Project.
The Warrants were issued in connection with a private placement transaction that closed on September 17, 2023 and are currently exercisable at Cdn$1.21 per common share.
Under the proposed amendment to the Warrants (the “Proposed Amendment”), the Company proposes to extend the expiry date for a further one year to September 17, 2025 (the “Warrant Extension”), with all other terms of the Warrants remaining the same. The Proposed Amendment is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Formed in 1972, BSNC is the regional Alaska Native Corporation for the Bering Strait region, which includes the Seward Peninsula in Western Alaska and the coastal lands surrounding Norton Sound. The Graphite Creek Project is located on State and private land in the BSNC region.
GRAPHITE ONE INC. (TSX‐V: GPH; OTCQX: GPHOF) continues to develop its Graphite One Project (the “Project”) to become an American producer of high-grade anode materials that is integrated with a domestic graphite resource. The Project is proposed as a vertically integrated enterprise to mine, process and manufacture anode materials primarily for the lithium‐ion electric vehicle battery market. As set forth in the Company’s 2022 Pre-Feasibility Study, graphite mineralization mined from the Company’s Graphite Creek Property, situated on the Seward Peninsula about sixty (60) kilometers north of Nome, Alaska, would be processed into concentrate at an adjacent processing plant. Natural and artificial graphite anode materials and other value‐added graphite products would be manufactured from the concentrate and other materials at the Company’s proposed advanced graphite materials manufacturing facility to be located in the contiguous United States. The Company intends to make a production decision on the Project upon the completion of a Feasibility Study.
