Over the past week, Focus Graphite Inc. participated in the Economic Mission on Critical and Strategic Minerals across Germany, Belgium, and France — including roundtables at NATO Headquarters, the European Union, and the EIT RawMaterials Summit.
Across Europe, one theme was consistent: allied nations are urgently working to secure resilient critical mineral supply chains independent of adversarial jurisdictions.
Discussions with DG DEFIS, the European Commission’s and space directorate, reinforced the growing strategic importance of across defence, energy, advanced manufacturing, and supply chains.
At the EIT RawMaterials Summit, Jason Latkowcer, VP Corporate Development, participated in a well-attended panel focused on "Strengthening Québec-Europe Ties to Build Resilient EV and Defence Supply Chains".
Alongside government and institutional meetings, Focus Graphite Inc. held multiple B2B discussions related to future supply relationships, strategic partnerships, and potential opportunities tied to long-term graphite demand.
Europe is preparing for strategic stockpiling. Focus intends to deliver from Lac Knife — North America’s highest-grade graphite deposit with a completed 2023 feasibility study — alongside Lac Tétépisca, a double-digit grade graphite asset and one of the largest graphite deposits in the world.
