香港, 2025年12月23日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在資本市場中,董秘是連接上市公司與投資者的核心紐帶,其專業能力直接關係到公司治理透明度、投資者信任度與市場價值傳遞效率。2025年12月22日,國內領先的殯葬及生命科技服務提供者福壽園(01448.HK)再添榮譽--公司董秘祝啟銘先生成功斬獲格隆匯年度「金格獎」之「年度卓越董秘」稱號。這一榮譽不僅是對祝啟銘先生個人專業素養的高度認可,更折射出福壽園在行業轉型期堅守公司治理本質、持續優化投資者關係的堅實實力。一、格隆匯年度「金格獎」揭曉:福壽園祝啟銘躋身「年度卓越董秘」行列2025年12月22日,中國領先的全球投資研究平台格隆匯以線上形式舉辦「科技賦能·資本破局」主題分享會。作為活動的核心環節,格隆匯「金格獎」年度卓越公司評選榜單正式揭曉,其中「年度卓越董秘」獎項覆蓋港股、A股、美股三大市場的中國上市公司,最終愛爾眼科吳士君、福壽園(01448.HK)祝啟銘、海信家電張裕欣等8位董秘(按公司首字母順序排列,排名不分先後)憑藉突出的年度表現脫穎而出。(圖片來源:公開資料)這一獎項的分量,源於主辦方格隆匯的行業權威性。成立於2014年的格隆匯,前瞻的提出「全球視野,下注中國」理念,覆蓋港、美、A三大市場,該平台專注為投資者與企業提供一站式投資融資服務,旗下產品矩陣完善,行業公信力突出。作為格隆匯核心評選IP--「金格獎」已連續舉辦6年,這一個在境內外資本市場權威且有影響力的評選,見證了中國企業的資本成長。而區別于普通商業獎項,其以「打造投資圈最具參考價值榜單」為目標,採用「定量資料+專家評審」雙維度體系:定量考核信息披露、股權管理等硬性指標;定性由資深分析師、機構投資者等組成評審團,評估公司治理、股東價值維護等軟性能力。這套嚴謹的評選機制,使「年度卓越董秘」成為衡量董秘專業能力的行業標杆準則之一。「年度卓越董秘」獎項的設立,並非單純表彰董秘的行政事務能力,更旨在凸顯其作為上市公司「資本市場外交官」「投資者價值視窗」的核心角色--董秘既是公司治理的「守護者」,確保信息披露準確合規;也是投資者關係的「溝通者」,搭建公司與市場之間的信任橋樑;更是股東價值的「傳遞者」,讓投資者清晰感知公司長期發展邏輯。祝啟銘先生此次獲獎,正是對其2025年在上述維度持續深耕與卓越貢獻的高度認可。二、福壽園的長期價值底座:穩健根基與治理升級董秘的專業表現離不開公司基本面與治理體系的雙重支撐,扎實的業績根基為價值傳遞賦予底氣,而主動的治理升級則為高效履職提供保障。作為殯葬及生命科技服務龍頭,福壽園在2025年行業調整期中展現出強勁的經營韌性,公司憑藉「高現金、低負債」的財務結構,築牢了風險抵禦能力,即便在中期業績承壓的背景下,仍堅持宣派1.62億港元股息,以實際行動回饋股東信任,彰顯了穩健經營與股東回報並重的發展理念。在公司治理層面,2025年12月福壽園設立聯席總裁制度,金磊屹先生與馬劍亭先生獲委任為聯席總裁。擁有逾20年公墓運營與管理經驗的金磊屹先生,主導業務拓展與數位化轉型,負責公司戰略規劃、市場拓展;自2020年起擔任CFO的馬劍亭先生,負責統籌財務管控、供應鏈管理與品牌建設。二人與董秘祝啟銘先生經驗豐富、專業互補,三方合力形成「業務+財務+資本」的協同效應,推動公司管理架構向年輕化、專業化、集體化方向持續升級。不難看出,福壽園穩健的經營基本面與優化的治理結構,為祝啟銘先生發揮專業能力提供了堅實基礎,而董秘的出色表現又進一步提升了公司資本市場認可度,最終實現「公司實力-董秘專業-市場信任」的正向循環。結尾部分在當前行業轉型的大背景下,福壽園不僅凸顯出強勁的經營韌性,更通過治理結構升級的舉措,彰顯了上市公司的責任與擔當。此次祝啟銘先生榮獲「年度卓越董秘」,不僅是對其個人專業能力的肯定,更將成為福壽園進一步提升治理水準、釋放業務與資本協同效能、彰顯長期投資價值的新起點。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

李澤湘教授再一次站上IPO舞台。12月19日,希迪智駕正式登陸港交所,成為「商用車智能駕駛第一股」,股票代碼3881,此次IPO發行價263港元/股,發行市值115億港元。至此,聯想之星又收穫一個天使輪IPO。外界可能不知道,聯想之星此前已與李澤湘教授合作多次。2017年,李澤湘教授回到家鄉湖南,率隊在長沙創辦希迪智駕,第一時間便想起了聯想之星投資團隊。2018年,聯想之星攜手紅杉中國、百度等投資希迪智駕天使輪,此後又在B輪加註,締造早期科技投資的又一精彩案例。猶記得去年底,小馬智行成功登陸美股,轟動一時。而這兩個明星自動駕駛項目IPO的背後,聯想之星都是早期支持者。若將範圍放大,至今聯想之星已收穫10個IPO,遍布在科技和醫療各個細分領域。「從成立的第一天起,我們就堅持做科技成果產業化。」聯想之星總裁、主管合伙人王明耀回憶。放眼中國早期科技投資江湖,這樣的身影令人印象深刻。李澤湘教授又一個IPO天使輪投資故事回顧希迪智駕的成長歷程,李澤湘教授無疑是當中的關鍵人物。這位香港科技大學教授,開創了「導師+學生」的天使投資模式,出資鼓勵學生們學以致用,培育和孵化了百餘家硬科技公司。其中,李澤湘聯合一眾學者發起的東莞松山湖國際機器人產業基地,後來湧現出海柔創新、庫獁科技、雲鯨等明星機器人公司,一度掀起VC出差東莞找項目的熱潮。「我們是最早一批去松山湖挖項目的投資人。」王明耀回憶。自成立以來,聯想之星致力於發現和培養科技創業人才,孵化科技創業企業,推動科技成果產業化的使命,這與李澤湘教授的理念不謀而合。2016年底,聯想之星參與海柔創新天使輪融資,由此拉開雙方合作的序幕。幾乎同一時間,長沙市政府向李澤湘發出邀請,希望他到長沙打造一個類似於東莞松山湖機器人產業基地的孵化平台。後來,李澤湘在長沙建立機器人學院,還牽頭成立長沙智能駕駛研究院,也萌生了打造一個智能駕駛平台的想法。彼時,自動駕駛作為AI和汽車深度融合的重大前沿技術,已是聯想之星內部確定的投資方向。2017年10月的一天,李澤湘教授給聯想之星合伙人高天垚發去信息,「聽說你們對自動駕駛有興趣,長沙智能駕駛的項目我們可以聊聊。」高天垚至今記憶深刻,「李老師帶著團隊調研,認為能把機器人和AI方面的東西全部融合在這個場景里,於是決定在自動駕駛領域創業。」一開始李澤湘就想好三個大方向,「一、商用車;二、限定場景;三、新能源」。多番交流下來,雙方認為這是一個可行的創業機會。很快,李澤湘找來硅谷專家馬濰博士,後者是英國薩里大學博士,在機器人、信號處理及汽車行業擁有30多年專業經驗。兩人決定一起創業,希迪智駕應運而生--一家商用車自動駕駛技術供應商,專注於自動駕駛礦卡及物流車、V2X技術及高性能感知解決方案的研發,總部落在湖南長沙岳麓科技產業園。目前李澤湘擔任創始人、董事長;馬濰擔任聯合創始人、副董事長及首席架構師。期間,李澤湘還邀請了從加州大學伯克利分校畢業的胡斯博博士加入希迪智駕,至今擔任公司執行董事、CEO。確定性方向加上一支頂級團隊,希迪智駕迅速獲得眾多投資人關注。公司天使輪融資隨即敲定--王明耀回憶,當時接觸希迪智駕團隊的投資人不在少數,競爭激烈,「我們第一時間把天使輪首輪額度鎖住。」2018年2月,聯想之星投資希迪智駕400萬美元。此後,希迪智駕成長速度飛快,成立僅一年多時間團隊就發展到200多人規模。2019年,希迪智駕內部提出,僅有單車智能而沒有基礎設施的支撐,將難以形成自動駕駛系統化的場景落地。因此,作為行業較早佈局車路協同的自動駕駛公司,希迪智駕產品逐漸涵蓋「聰明的車」和「智慧的路」--以自動駕駛重卡技術,打造無人純電礦卡、無人駕駛園區物流車,落地無人運輸場景;以「車、路、雲」全系列車路協同產品,為車聯網先導區、雙智城市、高速公路提供多類型智能網聯解決方案。「我們當時看到這部分業務的可延展性,內部認為礦山業務以及『智慧的車』、『聰明的路』的探索未來將有很大機會。」高天垚解釋。2021年8月,聯想之星再度對希迪智駕投資3000萬元人民幣。時至今日,希迪智駕自動駕駛、車路協同、高性能感知三大版塊技術與產品均已是業內佼佼者。根據招股書,截至2025年6月30日希迪智駕已向客戶交付304輛自動駕駛礦卡及110套獨立自動駕駛卡車系統。按2024年的收入計,希迪智駕在中國(包括香港、澳門及台灣)自動駕駛礦卡解決方案市場排名第三。八年歷程,希迪智駕成功IPO敲鐘,創業者與身後投資人寫就又一個創投圈互相扶持的範本。一場投決會,兩個明星項目自動駕駛投資版圖回顧聯想之星佈局自動駕駛之路,王明耀和高天垚不約而同提到一場印象深刻的投決會。「2017年11月的一次投決會上,我們同時決策投了小馬智行和希迪智駕,投資金額共900萬美元。」王明耀透露,當時內部在單個項目投資金額通常為100萬-200萬美元,這次投決會在聯想之星歷史上值得銘記。其中,小馬智行由彭軍和樓天城兩位技術大牛聯手創立。高天垚依然記得,小馬智行北京辦公室與聯想之星同樣位於中關村創業大街,當時投資團隊直奔對方的公司而去,聯想之星成為小馬智行第二輪融資啟動後接觸到的首家投資機構。「那時公司A輪融資很猛烈,融資金額比較大,投資人也很多。」時間緊張,聯想之星同時將小馬智行與希迪智駕擺上投決會,意外締造內部投資史上的一個名場面。「從結果角度,這兩個項目比我們預想的發展更快,都帶來了很好的回報。」高天垚說到。但這些都是後話。回到故事開始,這是一個極具研究價值的話題:一支早期投資團隊何以敢在行業尚處於非共識階段連續重倉?「這源於我們對當時整個自動駕駛領域的判斷和認知」,王明耀坦言,最早外界對自動駕駛的意見並不統一,但聯想之星判斷未來10到20年,自動駕駛將是一個必然趨勢。具體來看,基於在人工智能領域的長期佈局,聯想之星判斷自動駕駛是AI場景落地很重要的方向,「所謂自動駕駛,本質上就是人工智能技術,尤其是早期識別跟決策技術具體落地的一個巨大應用場景」。因此從2014年開始,聯想之星便將自動駕駛列為一條重要賽道,投資了包括ADAS、毫米波雷達、AEB(自動緊急制動)、激光雷達等一系列細分領域的公司。「正因為自動駕駛門檻和技術價值很高,所以我們要去投資最頂尖的技術研發團隊。」王明耀介紹,在聯想之星的投資家族中,不止希迪智駕與小馬智行,愛芯元智創始人仇肖莘是南加州大學的博士,集結了一支兼具國際水準的芯片技術領袖與頂級的AI算法專家團隊;孔輝科技由中國汽車行業的第一個工程院院士郭孔輝領銜……簡單來說,便是從行業中選出那些「更新」與「更精」的項目。創業不易,尤其是自動駕駛這類科技含量高的賽道,企業生存更為艱難。投資之外,聯想之星的另一重身份則是通過創業CEO特訓班等方式,做創業者身邊的「超級天使」,幫助並陪伴一眾企業成長。投資界了解到,聯想之星投後主要有三方面:一是通過創業CEO特訓班幫助項目核心團隊成長;二是通過董事會來幫助項目共同確定一些個性化的發展戰略;此外,「創業聯盟」也持續為創業者提供服務和共享資源,助力企業快速成長。希迪智駕副總裁、智慧礦山事業部負責人劉洲等核心高管都曾參加創業CEO特訓班學習。十多年來,隨著自動駕駛滲透率不斷提升並逐步實現商業化落地,聯想之星見證了國內自動駕駛行業從0起步到逐漸成為共識的過程。「隨著時間發展,這幾年很多產業鏈相關的賽道開始熱起來了。」2021年2月,聯想之星領投了乘用車空氣懸架系統前裝配套供應商孔輝科技Pre-A輪融資。那時,空氣懸架還只是高端車型的標配,市場對其可行性的看法也尚未統一。但聯想之星篤定,隨著新能源汽車滲透率快速攀升並且智能化不斷深化,關鍵零部件商會迎來爆發性機會,於是選擇下注。幾年之後,聯想之星的判斷得到驗證--新車發佈會的「軍備競賽」上,開始頻繁出現空氣懸架的身影,以孔輝科技為代表的國產空氣懸架供應商逐漸成為市場主力。據悉,孔輝科技至今已獲得嵐圖、理想、極氪、長安、阿維塔、埃安、小鵬、奇瑞等16家車企涉及40余個車型的空氣懸架系統或空簧總成定點資格。這樣的案例還有很多。基於多年深耕,投資團隊得以捕捉到更前沿的行業機會,至今已投資了近20家自動駕駛及相關企業,整體投資規模達到數億元。隨著小馬智行、希迪智駕相繼IPO,耕耘多年的聯想之星也來到自動駕駛收穫期。中國科技黃金時代一張前沿科技投資版圖徐徐展現。交流下來,聯想之星內部將前沿科技領域打法歸納為行業深耕,即以人工智能為切入,不斷拓展在前沿技術領域的投資廣度和深度,並在各領域形成優質投資組合作為細分根據地,不斷增加資源紅利和認知累積,形成正向循環。人工智能是主線。從2010年起,聯想之星便開始佈局人工智能,通過投資曠視、思必馳等企業進行AI底層基礎技術投資。之後又陸續佈局智能硬件、商業航天、機器人、自動駕駛、芯片,以及區塊鏈、量子技術等。在AI方向一脈相承,從而不斷擴大聯想之星獨有的「根據地」。值得一提的是,內部目前在科技領域的重要退出,有80%的價值與AI相關。如今AI時代呼嘯而來,新的機會繼續湧現。「我們將重點佈局AI和各個領域的全面結合。」高天垚透露,具身智能是團隊接下來很重要的一個投資方向。同時,還有新技術賦能醫療的新機會--自成立以來,醫療健康便是聯想之星三大投資方向之一。耕耘多年,AI醫療,特別是機器人與醫療的結合,已經成為聯想之星的特色。目前團隊在該領域已投資了精鋒醫療、強聯智創、長木谷等明星項目。不過王明耀也坦言,眼下具身智能方向的發展才剛剛開始,還遠遠沒有達到「iPhone4」階段,「機器人最好的解決方案長什麼樣?還沒有定型。在這個時間點上,反而有很多創新性的投資機會可以挖掘。」今年DeepSeek全球爆紅,王明耀觀察到中國資產重估的一幕。他判斷,這種重估對於退出來講是一件好事,「未來幾年可能是我們推動退出的好年景。」正如他預判,過去幾個月港股、A股輪番暴漲,誕生一批千億市值公司,為早期投資人帶來一場場回報盛宴。退出任務,眼下擺在所有投資機構面前。王明耀透露,目前已經有近90個項目為聯想之星帶來正向回報,「其中50%來自IPO,另外50%來自股權轉讓、項目並購等」。值得一提的是,隨著希迪智駕敲鐘,聯想之星也收穫成立以來的第10家IPO,早年科技投資成果逐漸看到回報。尤其是近兩年來,聯想之星明顯進入收穫期,IPO項目多起來了--國科天成、小馬智行、派格生物、希迪智駕等科技和醫療項目扎堆上市。在中國早期風險投資領域,已成功推動所投企業實現10個及以上IPO的機構並不多見。在這背後,不僅需要跨越完整的經濟與市場週期,更依賴於對產業趨勢的深刻洞察、系統化的投研能力、長期穩定的資本支持,以及在關鍵賽道上的持續深耕。不過,王明耀也坦言,過去受資本市場制度限制,早期投資即便眼光准,也得耐心等上七八年,客觀上拉長了整體節奏。隨著政策端暢通退出渠道,加之中國科技牛市來臨,這才有了眼下的收穫這一幕。他透露,隨著基金步入回報期,所投企業的IPO進程正在加快,預計很快將有15至20家企業實現上市。此外,聯想之星新一期基金也即將完成首關。歷經行業浮沉,早期投資人往往能更快一步察覺行業變化。王明耀看到,當下的一級市場與三五年前已經完全不同。「從項目成長的生態角度看,走過早期投資,後續的融資主要由各地國資參與,這是新業態。」身處其中,大家正在不約而同地調整姿態。陪企業走過最初最難的路,助推科技成果產業化,這是中國創投行業正在扮演的角色。隨著中國科技企業開始走向世界舞台,它們身後的投資人夥伴也漸漸浮出水面。聯想之星聯想之星創立於2008年,目前管理著11支、總額50億人民幣的早期投資基金,已投資400個項目。作為聯想控股的早期投資和孵化板塊,聯想之星植根聯想近40年來的創業經驗和資源積累,為創業者提供早期投資+深度孵化的特色服務,做創業者身邊的「超級天使」。早期投資:主要投資於前沿科技、醫療健康、TMT三大領域,積極佈局智能機器、互聯網改造傳統產業、生物技術、醫療器械等前沿領域。深度孵化:管理和運營「創業CEO特訓班」,為廣大創業者提供專業實戰的公益創業培訓。此外,「創業聯盟」持續為創業者提供服務和共享資源,助力企業快速成長,共創聯想之星創業生態圈。

A New Benchmark for Specialized Technology Stocks in Hong Kong! CiDi’s Listing Marks a New Chapter in Commercial Intelligent Driving

HONG KONG, December 19, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The Hong Kong stock market has welcomed another “hard tech” listed company. On 19 December, China’s leading provider of intelligent driving products and solutions for commercial vehicles, CiDi Inc. (“CiDi”, 3881.HK), officially listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.In the global transformation of the autonomous driving industry from the phase of technological exploration to the phase of commercial realization, CiDi has demonstrated a development trajectory distinct from that of most peers. Transitioning from early-stage project validation to long-term operations, CiDi has established a scalable business model and gradually emerged as one of the representative enterprises in autonomous driving for closed environments. Revolution in Technological Architecture: From Scenario Adaptation to Optimal Cost and EfficiencyWithin the autonomous driving industry chain, the commercialization progress in closed environments far exceeds that on open roads. Heavy-load transportation scenarios, such as mining and ports, place extremely high demands on efficiency, safety, and stability, while also having long-term and rigid needs. This makes them the earliest areas where autonomous driving has achieved large-scale implementation.In this area, CiDi has established a differentiated competitive advantage by creating a highly flexible “mesh” technological architecture to maximize overall system performance. The company abstracts core technologies such as autonomous driving algorithms, perception systems, and decision-making planning into pluggable modules. Under a unified underlying framework, these modules can be quickly combined and reconfigured to meet the specific requirements of different closed environments.This “grid-based” capability brings three major commercial advantages: First, it enables efficient cross-scenario migration. The results of each technological breakthrough are solidified as foundational capabilities of the platform, empowering the next new scenario. Second, it leads to significant cost optimization. Built on a unified platform, data can flow seamlessly, and capabilities can be reused, achieving a structural reduction in R&D costs. It also provides customers with more choices while lowering marketing expenses. Finally, it facilitates technological and performance advancement. Through scenario validation, the efficiency of technological iteration is accelerated, driving continuous improvement in product performance.Precision Targeting of “Essential Demand Arteries” with Validated Economic ModelsThe ultimate test for any cutting-edge technology is its ability to solve real problems and deliver tangible value. CiDi has focused on mining, a core scenario characterized by rigid demand and a clear economic rationale, to build a solid market barrier.Open-pit mines, characterized by their hazardous conditions, pollution, remoteness, and large scale, face multiple challenges including high labor costs, frequent safety risks, and low operational efficiency. “METAMINE” solution launched by CiDi directly addresses industry pain points by integrating perception technology, high-precision positioning, and fleet coordination system, enabling fully automated operations, including autonomous loading, transportation, and unloading of unmanned mining trucks, demonstrating its value through a quantifiable economic model. According to certification from the National Institute of Metrology of China, the mining efficiency of CiDi’s autonomous mining trucks has reached 104% of that of human-driven mining trucks.Based on industry realities, considering the costs and practical challenges associated with a full transition to autonomous mining operations, CiDi has developed a mixed-operation model, combining human-driven and autonomous vehicles, which represents the most feasible transitional solution at the current stage, successfully leading to the implementation of benchmark projects, including the world’s largest driverless mining fleet operating with manned vehicles and the world’s largest mixed-operation miningAs of 30 June 2025, the company has delivered 414 (sets of) autonomous mining trucks (systems) to customers and has received indicative orders for 647 (sets of) autonomous mining trucks (systems). The scale of deliveries and the continuous growth in order reserves further validate the maturity of its business model and its recognition in the market.Financial Advancement: Approaching the Profitability Turning PointIn recent years, CiDi has demonstrated accelerating growth in its financial performance. Revenue increased from RMB31.1 million in 2022 to RMB410 million in 2024 with a CAGR of 263.1%. In the first half of 2025, revenue further increased to RMB408 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 57.9% and sustaining robust momentum.With the increasing modularity of products and the accumulation of delivery experience, the company’s project profitability has continued to improve, driving sustained enhancement in its profitability. From 2022 to 2024, the adjusted net losses amounted to RMB159 million, RMB138 million and RMB127 million, respectively, and the adjusted net loss margin decreased significantly from 511.5% to 30.9%, which further dropped to 27.2% in the first half of 2025. As revenue scales up, the loss margin is being rapidly diluted. This trend signals that the company is steadily transitioning from a high-investment “technology validation phase” into a “scaled monetization phase”.In addition, diversified synergy has further enhanced the operational stability of CiDi. Leveraging its foundation of full-stack independent research and development integrating both hardware and software, CiDi has established three business segments such as autonomous driving, V2X, and intelligent perception. Among these, autonomous driving and V2X respectively shoulder the “intelligent” and “interconnected” missions. They support and reinforce each other, acting as the dual drivers for the implementation of high-level autonomous driving. Meanwhile, the intelligent perception business plays the role of a “cash flow supplement”. It applies mature functionalities from cutting-edge technologies to mid- to low-dimensional scenarios, such as train safety perception and commercial fleet management, enabling rapid technology monetization and providing the company with a steady stream of cash flow support.The listing of CiDi coincides with a period of triple tailwinds for the commercial intelligent driving industry, including policy support, technological maturity, and surging demand. By leveraging its unique technological architecture to precisely target closed environments, along with a validated economic model and a continuously optimized financial flywheel, CiDi has demonstrated a clear path for the industry from technological implementation to commercial closure, and from scale growth to the turning point of profitability. As the commercialization of autonomous driving truly enters a harvest phase, CiDi stands out as one of the most compelling targets for long-term capital market attention. With its platform capabilities set to replicate across more closed and semi-closed scenarios, and as it accelerates into the vast global market, its long-term growth potential is highly promising.

Focus Graphite Announces Final Results From 2022 Drill Program at Lac Tetepisca; West Limb Extends Mineralized Strike to 8 KM ACN Newswire

Focus Graphite Announces Final Results From 2022 Drill Program at Lac Tetepisca; West Limb Extends Mineralized Strike to 8 KM

Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and innovator of next-generation lithium-ion battery technology, reports the final assay results from its 2022 exploration and definition drilling program at the Company's 100%-owned Lac Tetepisca Graphite Project (the "Project"). Today's disclosure includes results from the remaining twenty-two (22) drill holes on the West Limb, along with complementary results from six (6) previously disclosed holes in the Southwest extension of the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor ("MOGC") flake graphite deposit.These results extend the drilled strike length of mineralization to approximately eight (8) kilometers along a folded structure. All assay results from the 2022 drill campaign have now been received and released.HighlightsFinal assay results received from the Focus's 2022 Lac Tetepisca drill program drill program have now been received, completing 74 drill holes totalling 14,900.5 meters and 11,824 assays and enabling the Company to proceed with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate in Q1 2026.Results from the 22 West Limb and 6 Southwest MOGC holes extend confirmed graphite mineralization along a approximately 8-km strike length, significantly expanding the scale of the Lac Tetepisca system.Multiple West Limb holes returned significant graphite intervals, more or less aligned on strike along one of the aeromagnetic anomalies, including:39.16 m (true) @ 9.02% Cg, including 10.50 m @ 24.49% Cg (LT-22-160)12.55 m (true) @ 8.90% Cg and 24.97 m (true) @ 6.43% Cg (LT-22-161)10.98 m (true) @ 8.17% Cg and multiple additional mineralized horizons (LT-22-162)Drilling at the Southwest MOGC intersected a second, structurally distinct mineralized horizon, highlighted by:20.19 m (true) @ 9.71% Cg, including 8.61 m @ 14.76% Cg (LT-22-141)Completion of the full assay dataset represents a major technical milestone, positioning Focus to reassess the scale, continuity, and development potential of Lac Tetepisca as it advances toward metallurgical, purification, and downstream application testing.Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite, stated, "The completion of all assays from our 2022 drilling program provides the complete dataset required to advance an updated Mineral Resource Estimate, anticipated in Q1 2026. The current maiden resource predates all 2022 drilling, and the results confirm meaningful upgrade potential across the Lac Tetepisca system."While mineralized intervals intersected in the West Limb are not to the same extent than those in the main MOGC deposit, it demonstrated the continuity of the broad low grade graphitic mineralization in this area, at a different stratigraphic level than on the South Limb where MOGC is located. The extent of this low-grade zone is apparently sufficient to be considered in the incoming Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") update planned for Q1 2026.Despite being lower grade, definition of, "significant mineralization" is defined as intercepts grading ≥5.0% graphitic carbon ("Cg") over a minimum true thickness of 6.0 metres, with internal dilution set at a maximum of 7.0 consecutive metres and no external dilution. This definition has been maintained to be consistent with previous releases.MOGC Resource BackgroundThe MOGC flake graphite deposit is part of the Company's Lac Tetepisca Project, located southwest of the Manicouagan Reservoir on the Nitassinan of the Pessamit Innu First Nation, in Quebec's Cote-Nord region. The MOGC is currently defined by a linear 1.5 km long segment of an 8 km long folded geophysical magnetic-electromagnetic anomaly that trends N035°. The April 4, 2022 NI 43-101 Technical Report, prepared by DRA America's Inc. ("DRA"), outlines a pit-constrained Indicated Resource of 59.3 million tonnes (Mt) grading 10.61% Graphitic Carbon (Cg) for an estimated content of 6.3 Mt of natural flake graphite (in-situ), and an Inferred Resource of 14.9 Mt grading 11.06% Cg for an estimated content of 1.6 Mt of natural flake graphite. This maiden resource predates all drilling completed in 2022. An updated MRE incorporating all 2022 drill holes is expected in Q1 2026.The current maiden resource-which positions the MOGC as one of the largest flake graphite deposits in North America-is detailed in the NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate Lac Tetepisca Graphite Project, Quebec, prepared by DRA and dated April 4, 2022. The reporst is available on the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca/ on the Company's profile. This maiden resource predates all drilling completed in 2022. As demonstrated in previous releases, the 2022 drill program extended the mineralization at depth and to the southwest, and now to the West Limb.2022 Exploration and Definition Drill ProgramFocus completed 74 diamond drill holes totalling 14,900.5 metres between March 3 and November 17, 2022 at the Project. Program objectives of the exploration and definition drilling program were twofold:Complete systematic definition drilling along strike and at depth of the MOGC deposit to support the conversion of Inferred resources to the Indicated category and to expand the total mineral resource estimate.Test the graphite abundance that might be the cause of the magnetic and aeromagnetic anomaly extending from the MOGC toward the Southwest extension and West Limb.Prior to this release, the Company disclosed full results from twenty-seven (27) definition holes drilled along strike of the MOGC deposit, partial results for eighteen (18) exploration holes at the Southwest MOGC target and seven (7) exploration holes at the West Limb target.The remaining results from West Limb (22 holes, Table 1, Figure 1) and Southwest MOGC (6 holes, Table 3, Figure 1) are provided herein. All assays results for the 2022 campaign are now complete.Also included are minor corrections of previously released results for two (2) West Limb holes (Table 2, Figure 1).One aborted hole (LT-22-147) in the Southwest MOGC target was abandoned due to technical/drilling difficulties and was successfully re-drilled and under the LT-22-172 moniker.Please consult the Company's website at www.focusgraphite.com for previous news releases containing analytical highlights from the 2022 exploration and deep definition drilling program at the Lac Tetepisca project, as well as applicable location maps.West Limb: Exploration Drill ResultsThe West Limb zone consists of the other segment of the regionally folded aeromagnetic anomaly and hosts up to three time-parallel aeromagnetic anomalies interpreted as potential stratigraphic duplication or tectonic imbrication within the folded structure. A total of twenty-nine (29) exploration holes (5,421.6 m) were drilled on different segments of the anomalies, of which results from seven (7) on the southeastmost anomaly were previously released (May 28, 2025). The twenty-two (22) exploration holes released today (Table 1) confirm consistent graphitic horizons and highlighted the structural complexity of the area. Six (6) drill holes intersected significant graphitic mineralization, including:Hole LT-22-120Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 121.76 metres on Section L19+00NW, intersected 13.22 metres (true thickness) grading 5.16% Cg (from 19.00 to 32.70 metres core length).Hole LT-22-158Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 138.39 metres on Section L07+00NW, intersected 9.98 metres (true thickness) grading 5.77% Cg (from 26.75 to 37.00 metres core length).Hole LT-22-159Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 199.97 metres on Section L22+00NW, intersected 7.56 metres (true thickness) grading 8.75% Cg (from 192.15 to 199.90 metres core length).Hole LT-22-160Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 207.31 metres on Section L16+00NW,Intersected 14.37 metres (true thickness) grading 6.04% Cg (from 61.05 to 76.05 metres core length);Intersected 39.16 metres (true thickness) grading 9.02% Cg (from 231.00 to 271.65 metres core length).including 10.50 metres at 24.49% Cg (from 231.00 to 241.90 metres core length).Hole LT-22-161Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 209.70 metres on Section L16+00NW,Intersected 12.55 metres (true thickness) grading 8.90% Cg (from 34.30 to 47.40 metres core length);including 7.47 metres at 12.06% Cg (from 39.60 to 47.40 metres core length).Intersected 24.97 metres (true thickness) grading 6.43% Cg (from 189.90 to 215.90 metres core length).Hole LT-22-162Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 203.88 metres on Section L16+00NW,Intersected 10.98 metres (true thickness) grading 8.17% Cg (from 36.50 to 47.85 metres core length);Intersected 7.63 metres (true thickness) grading 5.25% Cg (from 121.25 to 129.15 metres core length);Intersected 21.68 metres (true thickness) grading 5.02% Cg (from 164.35 to 186.85 metres core length);Intersected 16.54 metres (true thickness) grading 6.79% Cg (from 188.80 to 206.00 metres core length);Intersected 7.70 metres (true thickness) grading 11.15% Cg (from 260.20 to 268.20 metres core length).Correction to Previously Released Results (Table 2)Hole LT-22-112Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 118.74 metres on Section L16+00SW,Intersected 30.99 metres (true thickness) grading 5.83% Cg (from 32.00 to 64.00 metres core length).

Core descriptions, sampling information and analytical results were captured in Geotic™ core logging software and then used with LeapFrog Geo software for tri-dimensional (3-D) rendering. The 3-D mineralisation envelope of MOGC has an azimuth of N035.5° and dips at -58.5° to the south-east. The drill holes crosscut the envelope of the main mineralised zone's strike (80°) and dips (60o) at high angle. (2) "Best intercepts" and "significant graphitic mineralisation" are defined as Cg grading a minimum of 5.0% over at least 6.0 m with internal dilution set at a maximum of 7.0 m consecutive and no external dilution. "Best sub-intercepts" are defined as Cg grading a minimum of 10.0% over 6.0 m with same limitations on dilution. The 5% cg and 10% Cg cut-offs are used solely to delineate the extent of the mineralised envelopes corresponding to "Best intercepts" and "Best sub-intercepts", respectively. Economic cut-offs based on geological, metallurgical, mining, and economic factors, parameters and considerations will be determined as part of the mineral resource estimate update planned for the Lac Tétépisca project later through subsequent technical studies.(3) Barren core intervals within the mineralised envelope of the MOGC that were not analysed are considered as 0.0% Cg internal dilution.(4) Analyses were performed by Activation Laboratories of Ancaster, Ont., an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certified facility using combustion in induction furnace and infrared spectrometry (code 4F - C-Graphitic) and are reported as graphitic carbon (Cg) and total sulphur (code 4F-S), with about 10% of the sample duplicated for quality control analyzed by COREM. Except for holes 145 and 146, where all the samples were analysed by COREM and the cross checks by ACTLABS for quality control. (5) QA/QC program: IOS introduced 17% reference samples, including certified and internal reference materials, duplicates, and blank samples. 9.7 percent of the drill core samples were duplicated and re-analyzed by COREM for graphitic, total, organic and inorganic carbon as well as total sulphur (or by ACTLABS for duplicated samples in holes 145 and 146). The same 9.7 % of the drill core samples were also analysed by ACTLABS Laboratories of Ancaster, Ontario (ISO/IEC 17025:2005 with CAN-P-1579) for trace metals by ICP-MS after aqua-regia digestion (code 1E2). 2022 Drill Program: Design, Operation, and Quality ControlThe 2022 drilling program was designed and operated by IOS Geosciences Inc. (IOS) of Saguenay, Quebec, under the supervision of Table Jamésienne de Concertation Minière (TJCM) of Chibougamau, Quebec, acting as technical adviser to the Company. Drilling was performed by Forage G4 of Val-d'Or, Quebec using a single drill rig.Sample Preparation and AnalysisStarting in March 2022, drill core boxes for each hole, once logged, were packaged by sequential numbers onto pallets in the field by IOS personnel and then shipped by truck every two weeks to IOS's facilities in Saguenay where they are currently archived. Sampling has been conducted with a diamond saw, with NQ-diameter core from the Southwest MOGC and West Limb targets being halved, while all HQ-diameter core from the MOGC deposit being quartered. Sample preparation work at IOS consisting of crushing and grinding and the insertion in the sample sequences of QA/QC samples. A total of 545 pulverized splits from the currently disclosed set of drill holes were sent to Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario (ISO/IEC 17025:2005 with CAN-P-1579) for graphitic carbon (code 4F - C-Graphitic) and total sulphur analysis (code 4F - S) using an Eltra® induction furnace with infrared spectroscopy. However, holes 145 and 146 followed the process prior to the inversion of the laboratories (Corem as first laboratory and verification by actlabs). The 14 samples from holes 145 and 146 were analysed by COREM for graphitic carbon (code B10) and total sulphur (code B41). The subset of 9.7% of samples was also analyzed for 40 trace element analysis using ICP-OES and ICP-MS after an aqua-regia digestion at Activation Laboratories (Code 1E2 - Aqua Regia). This brings the total number of core samples analyzed under the project to more than 9,800, excluding reference materials and duplicates.Quality Assurance / Quality ControlThe analytical quality control program for the Lac Tetepisca project has been implemented by an IOS registered chemist and is identical to the one used for previous drill programs at Lac Tetepisca and at the Company's Lac Knife project. Under the QA/QC program, a total of 54 duplicates of the core samples, or 9.7 %, were analysed by the two selected laboratories. The current set of analyses included 52 duplicates of the core samples which were re-analyzed by COREM for graphitic carbon duplicated analyses (code B10), total sulphur (code B41), total carbon (code B45), organic carbon (code B58) and inorganic carbon (code B11) and the 2 duplicates of the core samples from holes 145 and 146 were re-analyzed by Activation Laboratories for graphitic carbon (code 4F - C-Graphitic) and total sulphur analysis (code 4F - S), in accordance with the QAQC plan when these holes are treated. A total of 105 reference materials (about 17% of all the samples analysed) were inserted in the sample sequences, either certified or internal reference material samples (CDN-GR1, CMRI12, Oreas-723, OREAS-724, OREAS-725, CGL-004, NCS-DC-60119), duplicates (quarter-split core or grinding duplicates), and preparation and analyses blanks, not including the ones inserted by the assaying laboratories.Qualified PersonThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Rejean Girard, P.Geo. (QC), President of IOS Geosciences Inc., a consultant to the Company, and a qualified person as defined under National Instrument NI-43-101.About the Lac Tetepisca Graphite ProjectFocus Graphite's 100%-owned Lac Tetepisca Graphite Project is in the Southwest Manicouagan reservoir area of the Cote-Nord region of Quebec, one of North America's leading emerging flake graphite districts. The project lies on the Nitassinan of the Pessamit Innu First Nation, 234 km north-northwest of the city of Baie-Comeau, an industrial city located where the Manicouagan River intersects the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. It comprises two contiguous properties, Lac Tetepisca and Lac Tetepisca Nord. Together, the two properties form a block of 126 map-designated claims (total area: 6,785.14 ha). Focus purchased a 100% unencumbered interest of the mineral rights in the 67 CDC claims constituting the original Lac Tetepisca property from a third party in August 2011. The Lac Tetepisca Nord property was map-staked by the Company in 2012. The Lac Tetepisca Project is accessible year-round by way of a network of secondary gravel roads that extend north from Highway 389, 10 km to the south of the Manic 5 hydroelectric power station.From 2014 to 2021, Focus tested the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor with 106 drill holes drilled over a 1.4 km strike length (total: 16,468 metres). The drilling formed the basis of a NI 43-101 maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) for the Lac Tetepisca graphite project with the MRE technical report filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca/) on April 5, 2022. The mineral resource estimate, prepared by DRA Global Limited's Montreal office, includes a pit-constrained Indicated resource for the MOGC prospect at the Lac Tetepisca project of 59.3 million tonnes (Mt) grading 10.61% Graphitic Carbon (Cg) for an estimated content of 6.3 Mt of natural flake graphite (in-situ), plus an Inferred resource of 14.9 Mt grading 11.06% Cg for an estimated content of 1.6 Mt of natural flake graphite.Additional maps of the Lac Tetepisca property showing the location of the MOGC graphite deposit, along with updated drill sections, are available on the Company's website at www.focusgraphite.com.About Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc.
