E-Power Resources Inc. Samples 34.8% Cg in Newly Discovered Graphitic Rock Trends

James Cross, President and CEO of E-Power commented: "We are completing metallurgical and mineralogical chacterization studies on our Tetepisca Property to determine product quality and applicability to end users. At the same time, we are conducting a propecting program focussed on the northern end of our property. The prospecting is to evaluate our large land position in an effort to demonstrate large tonnage potential in multiple target areas. The results of the prospecting completed to date, including high grade grab samples, are very enouraging. We look forward to the metallurgical test work results as well as continued success in the field program through the 2024 exploration campaign."

Exploration Update

The 2024 exploration program being completed on the tetepisca property includes:

1. The collection of a 1-tonne sample, approximately 250 kg from each of four graphite surface showings located in the southern part of the property (Phase 1 sampling and geological mapping).

2. Early stage geological and geophysical prospecting at selected target areas priotizing the lesser explored northern part the property.

3. Collect a bulk sample of 20-30 tonnes collectively from 2 or 3 selected target areas (showings) based on the results of the Phase 1 detailed mapping and sampling. The permit application for this work has been submitted.

E-Power collected a total of 1,037 kilograms (1.037 tonnes) comprising four bulk samples from three graphite showings (2 samples taken from the Graphi West target area) on the Tetepisca property (locations of showings indicated on Map 1). Metallurgical testwork including production of graphite concentrates and graphite flake size distribution analysis is underway at Volt Carbon Technologies Inc.'s dry separation facility in Scarborough, Ont. Whole rock major and trace element geochemistry on field duplicates of the 4 samples is in progress at ALS Geochmistry in Val d'Or, Quebec and will also be completed on representative splits of the 4 x 250 kg samples as received by Volt Technologies. Mineralogy studies are also underway which includes reflected and transmitted light petrography on a total of 12 thin sections. The Company anticipates completing further detailed mineral compositions and graphite textural analysis utilizing a Scanning Electron Microscope ("SEM"). Consulting geologist Allan Miller, PhD, P.Geo, is managing and completing the mineralogy studies.

Geological and geophysical prospecting been completed on a limited area of the northwestern most claims and has confirmed three previously targeted and prioritized conductive trends to be graphite bearing (see map 2). A total of 32 grab samples from outcrop were analyzed for Cg. Twenty-two of the 32 samples contained Cg greater than 1 %, 20 samples contained Cg concentration greater than 7% Cg, and 13 samples contained greater than 10 % Cg. The highest grade samples contained 31.0 and 34.8 % Cg.

About the Tetepisca Property

The Tetepisca Property is located approximately 220 km north of the town of Baie-Comeau in the North Shore Region of Québec. The property consists of 230 claims covering an area of approximately 12,620 hectares within the emerging Tetepisca Graphite District ("TGD"). The TGD is an active graphite exploration and development district with delineated measured and indicated resources in excess of 100 Mt at an average grade of 14% Cg. The Company's Tetepisca property is strategically located over continuous bedrock conductive horizons that are known and interpreted to be due to graphite and which hold significant potential to host flake graphite resources. The intersection of graphite in our 2023 drilling and the results of our 2024 exploration program to date confirms the Company's exploration model and provides the basis for continued exploration and evaluation.
