District-scale graphite project in Northern Québec covering 16,542 ha (165.4 km²), making FCI the largest claim holder in the Tétépisca region.
Less than 10% of the land package drilled and $10 million spent, the project has already outlined a 3.2 Mt NI 43-101 indicated and inferred graphite resource. Substantial expansion upside.
The property shares claim boundaries with Nouveau Monde Graphite’s $3.6B NPV Uatnam Graphite Project, highlighting strong district-scale potential.

The mineral resource estimates above are described in the technical report entitled, NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate on the Lac Gueret South Graphite Property, Quebec, Canada.

The Berkwood Graphite Project is immediately adjacent to Nouveau Monde’s $3.6 Billion NPV Uatnam Graphite Mining Project and is likely part of the same geological structure, especially since the grades and metallurgy of both companies graphite is similar. Over the past 6 years the Berkwood Project has been drilled numerous times and has a proven resource of 3.2 million tonnes of indicated and inferred, as per our 43-101 resource report. This resource estimate should be easy to expand as to date only approx 10 % of the properties have been drilled. The Company has numerous other properties with outcropping graphite that have tested as high as 48% graphite. Plans for Drilling in 2026, and are currently conducting airborne geophysical surveys.
Our high-grade, natural graphite
Has Been purified to 99.95%
Project Zones and Outcrop Graphite at Surface: Currently 12 outcrop locations
All 44 drill holes from our first four drill programs have intersected graphite.

Bulk Sample: Air separation, No Hydrofluoric Acid
18 Skids – 27 Tons Taken – Using air separation to process the graphite form 17% to 92-96% using Volt Carbon Tech patented process. VOLT analyses of the processed samples demonstrated a 96.1-per-cent purity in graphitic carbon and 98.1 per cent total carbon, as per VOLT news release dated August 16, 2023.
- No Toxic Waste – Reduced Carbon footprint & ESG Friendly
- Separated without water, reagents or chemicals
- Chrystallinity and conductivity maintained
- High grade, large to jumbo flake natural graphite
- At surface graphite better for environment, less waste rock
The Company reported on August 2, 2023 that a sample totalling approximately 27 tonnes of graphitic mineralization was collected from zones 1 and 6 at GEM’s Berkwood graphite property and has since been delivered to VOLT.
