Recently, U.S. President Joe Biden invoked the Defense Protection Act for battery materials, including graphite1, and signed into law the bipartisan infrastructure bill allocating more than $6 billion for domestic supply chain and critical mineral development.2
Mr. Packman said:
I’m delighted to join the Board of Graphite One at this time of tremendous change.
“not only in terms of how technology is transforming so many key elements of our lives, from energy to communications, medical and defense technologies – but also at a time when stakeholders are focused on socially responsible resource development, advanced manufacturing to meet our future technology needs, and recycling programs to create a full circle economy out of the resources that are extracted to minimize environmental impact.”
The appointment of Mr. Packman will expand the Company’s board of directors from four to five members.
As announced on March 7, 2022, Graphite One Inc.’s Graphite Creek resource in Alaska has been cited as the largest known graphite deposit in the United States by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in its updated U.S. Mineral Deposit Database (USMIN).
The USGS report confirms Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy’s statement in support of Graphite One’s designation as a U.S. government high-priority infrastructure project, stating, “Graphite Creek is the largest deposit of graphite in the nation and would be a superior domestic supply of this critical mineral.”
With the United States currently 100 per cent import dependent for natural graphite, Graphite One is developing a complete U.S.-based, advanced graphite supply chain solution anchored by the Graphite Creek resource near Nome, Alaska.
The Graphite One project plan includes an advanced graphite material and battery anode manufacturing plant expected to be located in Washington State along with the development of the Graphite Creek resource.
Graphite One anticipates publishing its Project Preliminary-Feasibility Study in Q2 2022.

GRAPHITE ONE INC. (TSXV: GPH) (OTCQX: GPHOF) continues to develop its Graphite One Project (the “Project”), whereby the Company could potentially 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 high grade anode materials primarily for the lithium‐ion electric vehicle battery market.
As set forth in the Company’s Preliminary Economic Assessment, potential graphite mineralization mined from the Company’s Graphite Creek Property, is expected to be processed into concentrate at a graphite processing plant.
The proposed processing plant would be located on the Graphite Creek Property situated on the Seward Peninsula about 60 kilometers north of Nome, Alaska.
Graphite anodes 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 expected to be located in Washington State.
The Company intends to make a production decision on the Project once a feasibility study is completed.
